(I hope
you're on that list)
I'm not usually a
glass half empty person. But HOLY SHIT am I having
trouble with this one. I've never been so close to
something, and then have it all come tumbling down, in
my entire life. The good news, is we just won a
portion of the lottery - and if there's a miracle,
life could be quite interesting. We can definitely pay
back the people that helped us out at the beginning of
this journey, and maybe even more...the bad news is
how close we were to winning it all.
So Friday, Jess
and I went to our favorite little chineese food
place. Cheap-ass, kick-ass little restaurant. Well I
get the following fortune...
And on the back of
that fortune, the following numbers...
Now I'm not one to
give a shit about fortune cookies, but the numbers
with the fortune...I just "felt lucky". So
I go to the corner store where Paddy and
I walk to so he can get his cancer sticks to buy
a lotto ticket. Well they have some weird pick 5
thingee for their lotto with a MEGA number to hit
for the JACKPOT. No biggie, I can still use all of my
numbers...so I put down the first 5, then realize the
MEGA number has to be between 1-27. Well shit. The
first number that came to mind was 10 and I just put
it down. I was kicking myself later because JORDAN
wore 45 and 23, so I should've replaced the 45 with
the 23...but oh well. And here's my
ticket.
OH MY LORD I WISH
I WOULD'VE TAPED THIS. We hit the first...FIVE
numbers. After the 3rd one I almost peed my pants. All
we needed was the MEGA and as you can see above we
would've won $27,000,000. And here's what
hit:
11. ELEVEN. ONE -
NUMBER OFF. ELEVEN. If it had been 23 I would've shot
myself, but oh my GOD. After the shock wore off, I had
the wherewithall to jump online to investigate (you
can't imagine how slow 56k feels when you're trying to
figure out if you've just won a bunch of money). I
finally found the site, and unfortunately, the dropoff
is pretty substantial. This is what the
WEDNESDAY winners got for the 20 Million
Lotto:
I hate to be such
a downer here. We just won the FUCKIN lottery...but
SUNUVA BITCH - you know? And the worst is I don't know
how much we won. Because the jackpot was $27,000,000,
I did the math, and it's a share of about
$1,828,753.20. It all depends on how many people hit.
And the average of the last 25 drawings was that
around 15 people hit 5 of 5.
I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. DUDE -
YOU JUST WON A FUCKLOAD OF MONEY.
I understand that, but taking the average, and
after taxes, we'd get about $40,000. I know
that's a lot of money, and I truly can't believe
it - but we could've been set for life - not a care in
the world. Set for life, little Billy's college fund.
You know? I'm sure in a day or so it will sink in and
I'll be really excited, but this JUST happened a few
hours ago, so it's still bittersweet.
Well, here's where
that list at the beginning comes in. If 10 or less
people win, I will give everyone on my list $100. 10
winning gives me close to $100,000 after taxes and
I'll GLADLY throw 8 percent of it back to those who
supported me. I checked the last 25 drawings, and 17
of the 25 were under 10 people hitting 5 of 5. It's
truly how much you mean to me. Darryl Parks used to
constantly say I was too close to my listeners. This
proves it. Again, here's the list:

Please
email me your address so I can send the
check. If
you're on twice - tough shit. LOL. It has to make you
think back to when I shortened the list from 250
to 80 doesn't it. ALL THOSE assholes who were
"bothered" by getting my updates...heh. I find
THAT irony quite funny.
My
head is spinning. If I take the
highest and lowest number of winners the
fluctuation is: 8 to 36. That's either:
$110,000 after taxes or $20,000 after
taxes. I'll find out on MONDAY. Here's a
quick
video
I put together of the cliffhanger we all
have awaiting us until Monday. That's also
the day I get to post your reactions to my
second successful annual
entry.
Now I didn't
get you 2 years in a row did I? You had to pay
attention to the date THIS year right? I mean
last year it was totally believable that Jess would
leave me, but winning the lottery! WOW. That's a tough
one to pull off. Again, I do this for one reason and
one reaosn only: So for the rest of the day - you
don't get snookered, and you remember to screw with
everyone you know. There is no other day that you can
be so RUDE and CRUEL - and we all accept it. Man,
this tradition is classic. Alright - PLEASE
email me your reactions for the next
entry.
