Even though all the onlines ask for GSOH it seems to me that for many (me too often) it is low – I value yours and others who really have it, rather than say they have it, it helps me laugh at my intenseness.
Well, first, congratulations Carl! That’s terrific. Now help e here ’cause math was never my best subject. Does this mean that if you had spent $1M on a ticket, you would now have $1.25M? Is ‘frugal’ really your best plan or does this just prove that old saw, “The rich get richer . . . “?
If I won all that I’d get new tires for the car and get a new toaster as mine is worn out. I need to get new heels and soles on my favorite pair of shoes too.
I’m leaning towards planning a presidential run in 2020. My slogan will be “You know these politicians are stealing. When I get in you won’t know nuttin”
