The Lottery

I was reading the comments over at Red Sugar Muse regarding what one might do if they won the Powerball (which was at ~$80 million for last night's drawing). I find it interesting that the daydream of sudden, profound riches is such a pervasive daydream for so many folks. I added a comment there that I often intentionally do not check my numbers until a few days after the drawing. It's my own lottery-version of Schrodinger's cat: if I haven't lost, than I may have won and the millionaire fantasies can continue.

p.s. Follow that link about the cat. It's one of my favorites from Cecil Adams.
