  I might shock the lottery lawyers shoes off if I get to show him a winning PB ticket given the way I play PB.

  Because I'm really playing for second place win, I buy five almost identical lines (all five white balls are the same on each line), but I pick five different PowerBall numbers. I buy the PowerPlay option too.

  My ticket costs me 15 bucks, and I used to feel bad about that. Not anymore.  While I was standing in line to buy my PB ticket yesterday, an old bag who looked like she didn't have a nickel to her name was ahead of me buying her tickets. The Old Bag loaded up on scratch offs, MM, Florida Lotto, and PB, and then handed the clerk a couple of winners. As he handed her her latest attempt at losing it all he said "That'll be $119."  The Old Bag rummaged around in her pocketbook and forked over $120 cash. I guess The Old Bag knows she can't take it with her.

  Can you imagine the look on that lawyers face when he sees I won ten million dollars with my ticket? But I could also show him the ticket where one of those five lines won the jackpot. So let's see.... last night I'd have won one billion plus another 8 million for the other four lines that didn't have the winning PowerBall number (#16) on it.

  Aint holdin' my breath on winning either 10 million or even the jackpot. Sure would be fun to get a load of that lawyers face though.  G5

  Play Smart! That's IF there is such a thing as playing smartly!!
