I Just Won the Lottery

Well, in a manner of speaking.

Actually, I won't be playing the lottery for quite some time to come.

Because I just got a job with the Georgia Lottery as a contract manager. Considering that they have machines in almost every convenience store in the state, not to mention the companies that print the tickets and do PR and so forth, so that's a lot of contracts to manage. It means I won't have to scramble the way I've been doing the last few months since I got laid off when Courtroom View Network cut back.

So, I'll be starting Monday. I'm not sure how much Bored Browsing I'll be able to do there; that's the first question I'll ask.

Congratulations.

I guess this means your dream of becoming a forest ranger are forever dashed.

After that, ask your boss how much he makes. We'd like to know that, too! ;)

$300,000, or at least that what she was making when she got the job. I'm sure I could find out what it is now since she's a public official.

The Lottery is actually a state authority, similar to the Georgia Port Authority, but not a state agency, so it's somewhat of a cross between a government agency and a private corporation. My benefits will be through private benefit plans not through the State.

Congrats! Maybe not quite as good as winning a lottery jackpot, but good enough for government work. :)
