Lottery fever

one day
This past Friday, everyone at work was in the throes of lottery fever. I'm not a huge lottery buff, but sometimes I'll buy a ticket if I'm eating lunch with my girlfriend at this little Hawaiian BBQ place that has become famous (locally) for selling big lotto winners. Anyways, this was the biggest jackpot in the nation's history, something insane like $650+ million...so I guess the hysteria was a little warranted. Nobody in California won the huge mega Oprah prize money but there was about 23 winning tickets of smaller jackpots. You know, meager amounts between the $200,000 range. Small fries ya know?

YEAH RIGHT. And guess what, one of those winning tickets was purchased down the street from where I live. At the news stand in the mall right next to my eye doctor and where I pay my phone bill. It's the place I buy gum and chapstick from. Ohhh what a cruel mistress fate can be. Fuck it, next time I do my monthly AT&T tithing and coming back home with some damn lottery tickets!

So, I'm curious...what would you folks do if you won the lottery? Oh lets make it a cool $100,000,000 sum. That's after taxes of course. I know for sure I'd be celebrating like THIS.
