DEAR POWERBALL PEOPLE

An unexplainable error occurred last night that I feel compelled to report. Somehow, despite my holding TWO tickets instead of the usual ONE, you still failed to pick the CORRECT numbers. Now normally, I would forgive without a second thought, but in this case, I had made some plans....

Brunch with Warren Buffett..... Ordering a new Rolls Royce Wraith.... House-shopping on both coasts.... Surprising some friends with memorable experiences.... Taking Mom to Germany.... and paying off my Fingerhut bill.

I sincerely hope this blunder will be rectified in the next drawing. I might still might be able to make that appointment with Oprah.................................

A Disgruntled Customer Until Wednesday,

Thomas


The reality is, the Lottery makes for a nice escape FROM reality. To dream of OTHER possibilities is like starring in your own TV show. The key is to experience your fantasy and then let your feet hit the floor and enjoy all that your life IS.... like going on vacation, only a bit shorter and having the traffic all going the other way. Now THAT is a fantasy!

We can all keep dreaming until Wednesday at least. I just hope work understands if you are a bit preoccupied until then....
