How many fingers am I holding up?

I have a friend drives to Delaware to buy Lottery Tickets whenever the Powerball gets to be more than a few Brazillion Dollars. He drives to Delaware to buy them because Delaware allows you to remain anonymous if you win. No Press Conferences with you holding the big cardboard check, publishing your hometown for the world to see. I think thats a pretty good option. (as a funny sidenote, I used to create those checks for the Casinos in New Jersey)

He's not a gambler or wasteful and only buys the tickets when the payout is a rediculous sum. Mostly I think he buys the tickets because he's hopeful and enjoys fanatsizing about winning the money.

On long drives he and his wife would talk about what they would do with the money if they won $100,000 $1 Million, $10 Million, or $100 Million. He delevelops complex schemes of how he we take care of those he loves and how he would use the money for the good of the community. He agonizes over how to help someone without making them resent you.

They no longer talk about this, because they always get in a big fight over how they should spent the hypothetical money. That makes me laugh because it's so human.

I would also like to remind him that he said he was going to hook me up. I dont need a Million just pay off my mortgage so I can fall down drunk on my front lawn any day I dont feel like working....
