Just for the record, I didn't win the $370 million lottery

    I would give two weeks notice, just because I think that is the right thing to do.

    The short-term plan would be financial planning and finally listening to my doctor and getting myself in shape.

    After that? As little as possible, with a lot of family time and travel thrown in.

    Since I didn't win the $370 Megamillions, I've gone to Plan B... tonight's $120 million Powerball drawing.

    Ummm, was that to anyone in particular, or were you just throwing that against the wall and see what fly went to examine it?...

    It's tough to win when you don't play.

    The closest I came to winning the lottery was buying a ticket at the same gas station that sold the winning one.

    I'd think that a reporter worth $370 million would be a liability to any paper for whom they worked. They'd be an automatic target for lawsuits.

    One ticket sold in Georgia; one sold in NJ. So I guess it's safe to assume the ticket I bought in Texas last week isn't a winner.

    I didn't win the Mega Millions, but I did win a new driver from the Golf Channel yesterday... so I got that going for me.

    I won $2 ... with 11 of my co-workers. Hey, that's 16.67 cents ... If I invest that now, my great grandchildren might be looking at $1000.

    I thought the least you could win was $4?

    I actually was talking about this yesterday, about what I'd do if I won. I honestly don't know that I'd change my life much. I'd buy my parents a much nicer house, give some money to my sisters to help them out, I'd buy two brand new cars and get myself my own place. I wouldn't stop working... way too young to retire, and just imagine how stress free work would be when you don't need the money. And I wouldn't move away... all of my friends are still here, why would I move to some rich town or to some exotic location?
