Oh hell, I've been buying lottery tickets for the past 15 years.............I've come really close a few times too.........which is REALLY aggrevating................buy I jes' keep on trekin'...........

I sure did!
I reasoned that if the WTS can invest its monies (our monies) in things questionable and have over $951 in assets, I could surely take a chance and win.

Or maybe I'm just old!
