Somebody won Powerball.
Edited on Thu Jul-10-03 08:19 AM by northwest
All I needed in order to know was to see was the jackpot sign reading "$10 Million" on the gas station window this morning.

And I bet I can already give a description of this winner:

-Elderly couple

-Retired

-No kids

-Republicans

-Bought a $1 Powerball ticket for the first time in their lives

-When asked what they will do with it, they will reply "Oh, I guess we'll just put it in a trust fund."

Remember when those 13 working-class steel workers in Pensylvania all split the jackpot in an office pool, and ended up with about $8 million each?? Damn, that was cool, even though I didn't win.:-)

:shudder:

On edit: Confirmed on http://www.mnlottery.com

2. It was NOT me.
And one of the winning tickets was sold in Pennsylvania, too. For a few minutes this morning I was convinced it was me. Then I checked my numbers and realized I had to go to work after all. :(

3. It wasn't my chef
...He's always said, first thing he's doing when he wins is getting all his waitstaff (including me) solid gold shoes.
