Default Lottery

Me and 11 of my coworkers have been playing the lottery for several years now. Any small winnings we just put in a savings account and split it at x-mas. $100.00 is the most we had ever won until last night we hit a $10,000.00 winner. Split 12 ways will be about $600.00 apiece after taxes. But that $600 will pay for mine and Adams plane ticket to go fishing in March on Lake Okeechobee.

That's really cool Ron. There are 10 or so of us at work that do the same thing. We have never won big at all but I keep playing because you don't want to be the one moron who didn't play the week that everyone else hit it big and leaving you to work while they are retired.

Back when I was a teenager I fell while water skiing and while I was waiting for the boat to circle around and throw me back the rope I noticed a wallet floating nearby. I picked it up looked inside and lo and behold there was a $100 bill...no DL no ID nothing except that 100. I know what lucky feels like. .....ps I spent every dime of it on 6" Black Shad Culprit worms..I'll never forget that warm and fuzzy feeling walking out to the truck carrying that fat sack of booty, thinking to myself "I'll never ever have to buy another rubber worm ever"I could almost hear the monkey spooging in the background...................Have fun lash
