The big jackpot for the Mega Millions lottery is making the news tonight. Yeah, I bought a ticket. I think this increases my odds only slightly over last week, when I did not buy one.

I've read that the lottery is considered an investment for people who are bad at math. Maybe so.

My daughter went through her undergraduate college years thanks to the Hope Scholarship, funded by the Georgia Lottery. I respect it for that.

As for winning, well.

I think doing things is the way to improve your life. If you don't do things, nothing changes.

I had always wanted to write a book. I don't know that the book is going to be financially rewarding, but it is certainly being rewarding in other ways.

Tonight, I had a friend sit and tell me how much he liked it, how the language reminded him of the language of his childhood, how he wanted a sequel so he could find out what happened to the characters. It was pretty cool.

I probably won't win the lottery tonight or ever. But I've won in a different way. I did it by doing something.
