    Not yet, but at the current pace it will likely happen soon.

    Still fully sighted. Well, to the extent the glasses get me there.

    Well, my couple MegaMillions tickets didn't resolve any issues, so back to reality.

    What was your stake in the game?

    I hope no one is traveling today on commercial aviation. I’ve never managed to be delayed or be bumped from a flight believe it or not. Part of the reason is traveling with my beautiful wife. She does not take no for an answer. The one flight we missed out of Hawaii we caught the The next flight by bumping a pregnant couple from Chicago. No “Karen” involved, a touch of Hannibal Lechter, perhaps.

    As I've said, I don't gamble--even for pastries on DBR. I'll make more putting the money in a basic checking account in a large bank. The cash value for Mega Millions has to rise by $107,000,000 for a single ticket to be a break-even proposition.

    For those of you that believe in the lottery and live in NC, I would encourage you to buy your tickets in VA or SC. Both are anonymous states while NC is not. While NC loses the bonus money for selling the winning ticket, you will do your civic duty with the 4.75% income tax. VA lets you buy tickets online, which means you can do it from the welcome center rest stop at the I-85 or I-77 border or any fast food joint in the state. Alternatively, if your VPN is kind, you can buy them from your home if VA or MD pops up.

    I will buy every season ticket in the Dean Dome, and then not go.

    I wonder if I can get them to change away from the Tarheel nickname? That's kinda become my life's mission. Will $500 million be enough to purchase their soul? I'm thinking the Carolina Sheeple. Sounds good to me!

    Both are excellent ideas.

    As a simple math argument sure. However, at least in my case, the amounts involved fail the materiality test. And how does the checking account case take into account any entertainment value?
