powerball record jackpot

i don't normally buy lottery tickets very often because i'm aware of the statistical improprieties designed to give the state the advantage, however when the PB jackpot grows to a record amount, i suppose that dropping $5 a few times a year for that infinitesmal shot at extreme wealthiness at least satisfies my curiosity where i might otherwise think "if i would have bought that ticket, it could have been me that won all that money"

and what would i do if i had that kinda scratch? i'd start figuring out how to do some good with it like fund and start up a non-profit service organization dedicating to serving the public. sure i'd probably buy a house and a new car, but putting the money into a socially responsible cause seems like the right thing to do.

here's to dreaming big.
