The Mark(ings) of Zorro
"As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron."
H.L. Mencken

One Person Wins Record $290M Jackpot

And what sucks is that it wasn't me...*grin*

I have to admit that I've been playing the lottery on a more regular basis as this jackpot crept up in size. This is the current story about One Person Wins Record $290M Jackpot - EarthLink - Top News, and I would bet that we never find out who this person is. God knows that I would move heaven and earth to make sure that my name stayed as much out of the public eye on this as possible. I would have my lawyer, accountant and banker working overtime to make me as totally anonymous as possible. I would also have them working overtime to make sure that 1) I get as much of the jackpot as I can and 2)that I don't spend anymore than a fraction of the income every year. Most of it would go into a foundation which would provide grants for various (in my opinion) worthwhile things.

Oh well, I hope the person who did win uses it wisely and well. Now, I gotta go buy a ticket for next Tuesday's drawing; it's only a $10 million pot, but...what the hell...
