I Need Tickets!

There's not too much downside to living in Vegas, but I guess I could find some if I looked hard enough. But since the casinos have a monopoly on gambling, it means that unless I make the drive down to Kingman, it means that I can't get tickets to this weekend's Powerball drawing.

Wait--do they have Powerball in California? I believe they actually have convenience stores on the California side of the state line, unlike heading to the Arizona side, where Boulder Canyon and Hoover Dam conspire to keep out the forces of unbridled capitalism.

Anyhow, somebody is gonna win a cool $365 Million this weekend. I just hope that that somebody is somehow related to me....

Mikey


It would seem that I have retained legal counsel and a volunteer to get me a ticket...
