And it wasn't me. Of course, it would have helped to have remembered to buy a ticket.
If you bought a ticket in Ocean County, NJ, you might want to check your ticket. Somebody is about to have a life-changing revelation!

I didn't have a ticket, so I was bummed to see someone won. I was waiting for 300 million!
As if....

Oh, it was me. I guess I'll cash it in if I'm ever in need of a few bucks....

Typical outcome here.
Five tickets.
ONE matching number.

I don't think my job associate took the pool money to NJ when there are vendors selling tickets in RichU Square 6 blocks away. Oh, well.
I don't know why we all don't get inspired to play this when there's "only" 2 or 3 mill in the pot...

The odds are so astronomical. I hate to waste money unless it's just too much of a payout to pass up.

I love the juxtaposition of mini's and ghost's current avatars.
I think even if that cat had fur, it would still be ugly. The shelter isn't all that far from where I work. I'm not going to visit. Maybe if I'd won the jackpot, I'd pay for some plastic surgery for him. Eww.

Why? Then he'd look like every other cat. I like how unique he is. Plus I like his pissed-off expression in the picture, so I took it!

He can have a hair transplant from all the fur I just shed on mom's lap!

A lot of Siamese would look like mini's avatar after you shaved them. They'd especially have that expression after you shaved them!
Since this one doesn't look shaved, just kinda mangy, I'd guess the poor dear has a disease.

Supposedly born that way. Here's a link to some other photos. He doesn't have a good side.

Uh, "thanks for sharing".
He doesn't always have that mean expression, though. That's a relief. Do you supposed that Bat Boy knows he's so ugly? I hope not. I'd say, from having had cats, he knows he's cold, though.

I bought 20 Powerballs and I'm pretty sure I won $3 for a net of -$17.
