You tell people that you have gotten a really good job offer in Oklahoma and you will pay them 4 times whatever they are willing to loan you, contingent upon getting enough money for a truck rental.

Better yet, use the money for a one way plane ticket.

No, it’s fine. The larger money amount comes from it being invested. The lottery, as structured, wouldn’t work any other way. For it to be a larger percentage, the prize amount, as advertised would have to be smaller.

Ter-ray-za is not looking very healthy. Has anybody said what is wrong with her?
