You may have heard that the $336 million dollar Power Ball jackpot was won by someone in RHODE ISLAND Saturday night.

It wasn’t us.

EVEN THOUGH Banjo Man was in Stop & Shop (the local grocery store chain where the ticket was purchased, but in a different town) Saturday and actually bought a Power Ball ticket (because I told him to)…it wasn’t us.

Rhode Island is a small state.  Chances are we will know someone who knows the winner.  But they haven’t come forward yet to pick up the check.  If they pick the payout option, they will collect about $220 million.  After state and federal taxes,  they’re left with approximately $120 million.  At least that is what the experts on the radio talk shows said yesterday.

Everyone is talking about it.

Meanwhile, we are back to work at our desks.  But I’ll keep you posted.

What would you do with $120,000,000????????

(I’d have the inside of my house painted.  Honestly, that’s the first thing that I came up with.  I’d have a painter & crew in here faster than you could say “Power Ball”.)
