last night

was the drawing for

the 2nd highest mega-millions prize in u.s. history:

i had ticket in hand and plans in mind

i’m not going to spoil the outcome

but…

—

“i won $2.00 in the mega millions lottery.

please respect our privacy as our family decides

how to move forward in this exciting and pivotal moment in time. “

This month, someone in England won the Euromillions lottery, almost £196,000,000. ($239,000,000)
They very wisely chose ‘No publicity’. 🙂
Best wishes, Pete.

There has only been a few times, like yesterday, that I have ever played the lottery. I didn’t hit a single one of the numbers, so your $2 winnings sound pretty good to me.
