    I have my eye on a Villa outside of Lastres. My shack at that point would have very little if any solid state gear.

    I'm ashamed to admit it but I succumbed to greed and bought a ticket, too.

    I'll tell you what's a rip-off: If you nail 5 of 6 numbers you only win a measly $250K. That sucks! One number makes the difference between $500M and $250K? *grumble* However, if I were to win the $250K I wouldn't complain a bit.

    Time to go watch Waking of Ned Devine to get in the mood tomorrow.

    Nor would I. I could pay off the rest of my student loan debt which is small at this point. May not snag a Villa but could get an overly nice and loaded flat, new car, bike, and wardrobe.

    On second thought I kinda hope no one wins for the next few drawings. Wouldn't it be something for it to climb to ONE BILLION bucks?

    The displays that shops have in their windows only have 3 digits.

    999 Million is close enough to a billion, for me. I will accept the 999 Million.

    At the office we bought 500 picks last time when it was a paltry $347 Million or something.

    We paid $5 each x 100 people and had 500 numbers.

    Of all that we "hit" on one short sequence and got $46 or something.

    Rather than have everyone go out and blow forty six cents on a good time, we re-invested and bought another 500 for this Friday's pick.

    Catch you all from my yacht at Bimini after the draw. Look for WB2WIK/MM$$ which will be my new callsign.
