That would be nice...

Nebraska...blech.


It might also be a mistake. I'm sure we would all love to have the
problem of a couple hundred million dumped in our laps, but . . . The
first thing most people do is quit their jobs. Then move to a very
upscale community where they share little in common with their neighbors.
End result, a life in turmoil with a lot of time on your hands. I'm sure
you or I could handle these problems, but I'm not sure about this poor
slob in Nebraska. ;-)


Way back when lotteries first started around here (late 70s ) a local
guy (alcoholic semi-bum) won half a million. Didn't take long for his
so called friends to take/drink his money away.
Six months later he was back on the street again looking for wine money
