4. As a bookkeeper, I would recommend that he
give it all to me. Remember, it's not what you get, but what you give away, that defines you. So give me the money, and I'll give to Best Buy, and we'll both be better defined. :rofl:

7. I know, if I won $10,000 with one ticket, then 10,000 tickets would
get me 10,000 x 10,000! That's how math works, right?

9. absolutely!!
And, as you know, one ticket gets you $10,000, but with only one number away from the powerball thingy, so you're also ten thousand times more likely to get the powerball next time.

are simple...I just don't want to have to work for a living!

21. So cool! YEah, mine too. Family would be asking for handout, and
that's okay.

I'd start a big center for autistic kids. Special therapies. Support for parents. Respite care.
