    25 cents

    There was a news report this morning on 16 people who pooled 25 cents every payday to buy 4 Powerball tickets.

    The 15 school cafeteria workers and one janitor played the lotto for 13 years until they won some 95 million dollars in the last drawing...

    Each will receive about 2.1 million dollars.

    But before they turned in the ticket they finished
    cooking up food and feeding the kids.

    I wonder if the portions were a little bit bigger that day.....

    Gee, the last time I had a quarter was when someone gave it to me to go away.....

    I'm wondering if they "beefed" up the menu as well as giving bigger portions.
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!
