I buy Lotto 6/49 tickets–I consider them a charitable contribution–and never expect to strike it rich on that 1 in 14 million chance, but it’s fun to imagine.
This morning I got two emails announcing I’d won two prizes. Two! Was I now a millionaire? (No, the “Gold Ball” jackpot is unclaimed at $22 million.)
It turns out that on the last draw I won a free play and my free play won another free play, plus my own regular ticket won a free play. It’s free plays all the way down.
I’ll post next on this when I become a millionaire. Any draw now, I’m sure.
