Nothing and No Good….and K-Mart

January 31, 2007

I did check my lottery ticket for last Friday today….as well as yesterdays ticket for Tuesdays drawing. Each one had only 1 white ball number picked. To bad that doesn’t bring anything to the table except another dollar in the red. Thats all good though, my theory will soon be proven wrong… I hope. That just means that I have to keep on playing to start making some change and not having much in the black for the first month.

I was on my way to get stuff for the baby, aka, more receiving blankets and stop by my grandparents house for some home made sheets for the cradle. Which is great for me, less stuff to wash and more time being less stressed out. Its a win win. Closest place to my grandparents house was a Super K-Mart. I’m glad this place doesn’t look like most K-Marts with the yellow tinted paint that looks like they’ve been smoking since the 80’s inside the store and never bothered to clean the walls or flooring. They did happen to have the same music though so it’s not that bad. But what the hell does that have to do with the lottery? Well I never knew it before, but K-Mart actually has the option to buy lottery tickets! Who knew? Well probably a lot of people that go there just not myself. I bought the winning lottery ticket, I think, for Fridays jackpot of $65 million dollars!!

When I come to think of it, there’s a lot of stuff I’d love to do with the winnings. I got to be honest, call me weird, strange or down right generous. But it came to me in a dream that I was to give half of my winnings after taxes to the St. Jude’s Children Hospital. It sticks in my head, so I refuse to go back on it. Bummer if I only won $10 million, but the bigger the jackpot the better since I have more to myself. After looking over what I wanted, what I needed and what I would like to have, I looked at all the people I could possibly help. Friends and family in need for just a little help. Not flat out giving them a steady life, but I’m not sure I could easily have all this cool stuff while the people that I know are in desperate need to get their life right. I still plan on making sure I have millions of dollars don’t get me wrong, after all I can’t just give money to people I don’t know, family I’ve never seen or friends that want to relive the glory days and hang out….you know the kind, those people in high school or college that were in your class for a semester that you didn’t talk to but somehow got forced into a group project and they had to put up with you. Those people, all of a sudden would LOVE to be your buddy. Fuck that. That’s all I got to say on that subject, more later.

I sit here, nothing won yet, but the year is still early! I got 11 more months to go to play a game of winning catch up! I think I can do it, I know I can! If all else fails, at least I got this cool book I’m going to make.

Shamless Plugs:
- Super K-Mart (Taylor, Michigan - Van Born East of Telegraph)- Who knew this place sold lottery tickets?
- St. Judes Children’s Hospital in Detroit - God bless those little guys, I hope to help them one day.
