Somebody somewhere won BIG BIG BIG – one winning ticket won over 400 million dollars. Ok, it’s official – I’m pouting. Yes indeed. I am crossing my arms over my chest and saying “Humph!” Why them and not me? The age old questions – don’t I deserve to win? Of course I do. Just as,…

Today at PLC we talked about family. Specifically we talked about family members who would never find out if we WON BIG. Three of us were in this conversation and each of us had at least one family member who was a “taker”, to put it kindly. I had a relative who actually said to…

I was standing in line at Personal Lottery Central, minding my own business, making sure I stayed on the “Stay 6’ apart” sticker on the floor. “Hey!” The guy leaving the store turned from the door and walked toward me. “Hey!” He called out, grinning like I was a long-lost relative. “How’s it going?
