I am not a gambler. The most I’ve ever won at the lottery was $5 in the Florida Lottery many years ago. It had to have been more than twenty years ago, because I’m pretty sure I was still in undergrad. The only other gambling I’ve ever done is slot machines. I once won several hundred dollars on the slot machines at the Beau Rivage Casino in Biloxi, Mississippi, and I think I won about twenty dollars on the electronic bingo (a complicated type of slot machines) at the Wind Creek Casino in Atmore, Alabama. However, I am not a lucky person.
The only luck I’ve ever had is that I’ve had and have some wonderful friends. I certainly didn’t luck out in the family department, and I’ve never been lucky in love. I would say I was lucky to get my job in Vermont and then for them to turn it into a better position when the first job ended, but I worked hard for those jobs and was the most qualified candidate by far. I guess you can say I made my own luck there. There are some lucky people in this world, but I’m usually not one of them.
I will travel some if I win the lottery, but for now, I’ll stay in Vermont. Maybe I’ll go for a hike this weekend. The weather is supposed to be nice with low humidity and temperatures in the 70s on Saturday. We’ll see.
PS I did not win the jackpot, no one did. It’s now at $1.02 billion. I did however win a whopping $6.

Get that vacation in the break in routine does us good. I’m off work now. Go off for drive with lunch la led find a nice spot to read a good book Travel is a nightmare. Oh the mega milllions rolled over to 1.02 billion ad you mostly know by now.
You will have better luck next time: 100% of the winners tried their luck (French Loto advertising). But statistically we can only lose.
American tourists are back in France after COVID. We must do like them; so see you soon.
Unsure if you enjoy modern art but there is a really cool museum in MA tucked into the VT, MA, NY border called Mass Moca and it is in North Adams. Not exactly a vacation like you were describing but somewhere you might enjoy. Just a bit further away is the Berkshires (also beautiful).

I do hope you can splurge at some point and get yourself on a plane somewhere fun where you can relax and oggle men in skimpy bathing suits.
The Mega Millions was won last nite By 1 Ticket in IL worth 1.2 Billion. Oh well I will keep trying
Jon from UGA
the powerball is worth $170M tonite
For years, every week, I have been playing LOTO and EUROMILLION and I must say that the most I have won has been sixty euros...
I don't want to make the calculation of what I would have saved if I had never played...
