So much pain... so needlessly.

I didn't win the lottery... I'm sure you saw that on all the networks... "Alan May did not win the lottery... tune in later for details..."

So, all of those charities that would have benefited from my charitable donations... well, they're suffering.

"Daughters of small-breasted Mothers", I was going to donate a million dollars for breast enhancement surgeries for needy young ladies. Sorry ladies.

"Unpurchased Blue Lamborghinis", I was going to donate a million dollars for the other blue Lambo that Shack's son didn't buy... I'm sure it's feeling lonely, and unwanted. Sorry fella.

"Realtors with unsold listings", yeah, this one is close to my heart. I was gonna buy up a huge inventory of properties that have been sitting unsold for over 365 days. Sorry fellow Realtors.... now you're just going to have to have that 'conversation'.

"Millionaires without private jets"...
I can feel their pain.

So much pain, so needlessly.

Alan, My tickets literally couldn't have done any worse! Not a single correct pick on any of them. Oh well, I guess I'm meant to keep working two jobs :) Bill

Good afternoon Alan,

Thankfully I had only one losing ticket; so part did make it to Common Core which is a good thing and do not watch the boob tube! So you will have to download it to a post and I might watch it.

Make yourself a great day.

I'm working on it.

I didn't win either, and while my plans weren't quite as lofty as yours I still think we should have split the winnings because I know we were much more worthy.

my plans were lofty?

I'm out $4.00 but I know I would have thrown it away on something equally as foolish even though this would have allowed me to only work part time

Jan 14, 2016 02:33 AM

the same. I'm out $2.00 from last week, and another $2.00 this week. Worth the price of admission.

Alan ~ My Powerball ticket had 2 numbers on the same line! Unfortunately, it pays ZERO. No blue Lamborghini for me either. 'sigh'

Jan 14, 2016 03:16 AM

One of the groups I participate in had the powerball number... but that's it. What a letdown.... four bucks!

Alan - Great post. Too bad you didn't win. Sounds like you had the best of intentions on what to do with the money.

Ah man, I have a listing that's been on the market for more than a year. Pretty lake listing, 7000 sq. feet. Under 500k. would have been a perfect winter place for you. :)

Jan 14, 2016 04:40 AM

... and you can believe, I woulda bought it off'n you.

That's the saddest thing I've read in a long time. I didn't win either...but mostly because I chose not to play. Obviously, that's the only reason I didn't win.

Jan 14, 2016 05:08 AM

so you won $2.00.

Somehow, I know you will find the strength to cary on and power through this.
