Someone asked me once what I would do if I won the lottery.

I said, disappear.

“Someone asked me once what I would do if I won the lottery.

Years ago my wife got me a metal detector and so I started reading up on them, treasure hunting sites, etc.

One guy told the story of how he and a buddy would go metal detecting together and then get together with the others for lunch at the local hangout.

Until his buddy got into searching old abandoned farms and homes, which the one guy wasn’t comfortable with doing.

The guy said one time at lunch he was with his new metal detecting buddy and the others at the dinner. His friend drove up and brought him out to his car where he popped the trunk. Inside were three or four old suitcases filled with cash. His friend drove off and he never saw or heard from him again!

I guess I’ll have to make a point of heading to the store this week and wasting $10 on some tickets. Probably the same odds as exploring old buildings for a big score, and less of a chance of getting shot.
