I thought I might have for about two minutes this morning, when I woke up, turned on the news, and heard the winner was in Lincoln, NE. Holy cow. Then I logged on to the powerball web site and found, as usual, that in a $5 quick pick I hit on exactly one number.

Too bad. For that sum you could have bought Nebraska!

Someone may indeed buy Nebraska. Last I heard, the winner may be in Colorado. What better way to confirm our status as a flyover/drive-through state to have the biggest lottery ticket in US history bought here by someone on his way somewhere else!

What! Nebraska would go for less than $5? How much change would he have got?
