Since Arkansas has yet to allow a lottery, any time I travel I always try to pick up a ticket for whatever state I'm in.  One of these days I hope that the voters of Arkansas realize how much money we are giving neighboring states school systems instead of our own.  That, along with the gas, hamburger, and local taxes of everything we do in those states while we are there.  At the very least, I gave New Mexico education system another $1, not only at the expense of our own school system, but the $1 was taken out of Arkansas and spent in another state, removing it from our economy and community.

OK, so call me selfish.  I take a perfectly good Arkansas dollar and take it way away and spend it just for a chance to win a few measly dollars.  Sigh.  I'm such a bad person.

The people of Arkansas can rest easily and feel smug in the fact that my numbers, 14-22-26-51-52 and Power Ball of 23 was in no way similar to the winning numbers of 8-14-35-38-46+24.  So fine.  I lost.  I hope you are happy.

Just keep in mind that when I DO win, I'm spending the money in Jamaica.  So there.
