Wild Bill Wins $600,000
You might have wondered where I have been for the last few days, well I have been a little busy.
I was buying a Mountain Dew and a newspaper a couple of days ago and when the lady behind the counter asked me if that was all I said no get me a Powerball ticket too. She asked if I wanted a powerplay, I asked what that was and she told me so I said why not. I hardly ever play the lottery because I believe it is a poor people’s tax and a tax on those that were to stupid to learn math. I have only bought 5 lottery tickets in my life. My brother Big Mike buys them all the time. Big Mike’s wife buys lottery tickets all the time hoping to win so she can save Camp Cimarron. I’m really not sure why I bought the ticket, but I sure am glad I did. Many people believe that they could never win the lottery and until a few days ago I was one of those people.
I was joking with my wife about buying a ticket while we were watching the numbers being called out on TV. I didn’t even know what the numbers were, but I pulled the ticket out of my wallet and told my wife we just won. My wife hardly ever laughs at my jokes and she didn’t this time either. I handed her the ticket and smiled and got up from the couch. She could not remember the numbers that we just watched on TV so she checked the website. I went to go get some tea from the fridge and that is when she started screaming and crying, “WE WON!”
I thought she was just getting me back for my little joke, but then I remembered she doesn’t have a sense of humor and realized she was serious. The ticket matched all the 5 white balls that were drawn which means we won $200,000, however since I paid an extra dollar for the powerplay option and the multiplier that was drawn was 3 that means we won $600,000.
Here I am holding the check:
Any ideas on how I should spend the money?
Update: April Fools!!!

Get 2 new cars that don’t break for starters.
And if you’re feeling really generous, loan Cody some so he can fix his.
But damn Bill, you’re having an amazing year, aren’t you? congrats!

I say nice photoshop. You left just a bit of her left earring showing, though! LOL. Shall we call you Shirley Bay from now on?

April Fools. That was a pretty good one, Bill, I liked the photoshop. And I did fall for it for a few minutes…you got me.

I didn’t fall for it for a second. And the check written out to “Wild Bill” instead of your real name clinched it. Nice photoshop and April Fool’s attempt though.

Illegal aliens are not eligible to win the lottery in the U.S. so just give it up!
P.S. does this mean you will be going to Vegas with me?

I am sincerely delighted that Gaia has blessed you and your family with your new windfall. Perhaps you will see fit to pay her back by investing in renewable energy sources. Also, along the lines of what Cody said, maybe it would please you to purchase a brand new hybrid car.

Bill - as a good conservative you know you must send ten percent to EVIL GLENNNNN to help supply his puppy-shake habit. You must then ensure that you pay NO TAXES, as we all know that conservatives support taxing others but not themselves. Lastly, send whatever you have left (after buying a car, maybe a small house, you know, trinkets) to me, as I need the money to go to school to be a good neo-con lawyer and sue the pants off the aclu(natics). Sound good?

Nice try but I am having a hard time finding any 5 ball winners in OK where the multiplier was 3 in the last couple of days…
If you won this much money we would not have heard from you because you would be in the ICU from the massive coronary…
