The Powerball jackpot is up to wwhhaaattt? 1.2 billion. With a B. I don't usually buy lottery tickets, but I am going to today. I can't resist my only infinitesimally small chance to be a billionaire. At least for the brief moment before they take the taxes out, lol.
And apparently that is the 4th largest jackpot they have had. Dang. Not even the highest.
I was reading, what I thought was, a human interest story in my local online newspaper. It was about a teenaged girl working at a McDonald's who was locked into the freezer with her coworkers, in a takeover robbery. She called 911 and her mom, a 911 dispatcher, answered the call! This paper has articles all the time about unusual things that happen in other places and I assumed this was one of those stories. But as I read it, nope! It was actually a local story. And happened at a McDonalds that I've been to before and is only a few miles from my work. Thankfully it's not the closest because, coincidentally, I went to the closer one for lunch yesterday. But still!
That's why I need to win a billion dollars! Pack-up my must-haves in one day. Leave the rest and drive off into the sunset. Then fly off into the sunset from a safer location, to my new oceanfront estate in Hawaii. If only, lol.
Edit: Sorry, y'all! I'm so discombobulated, I was trying to make the week longer! Thanks for the correction,
