Just missed the big loto jackpot last night by 7 numbers. I had the bonus number. Man, I was so close.

But, at least I have the ticket and I can use for a grocery list, or a to-do list or just about any kinda notes. And it's already folded for tucking into my wallet on accounta I did that when I bought the ticket.

So, I did okay I guess.

The $50M prize was not won so I will buy another ticket soon... must make a note of that.

Stars?

Gnu,

If you are interested, I can sell you small bits of note paper for much less than a dollar.

Poem 138 of 230: AN OPIUM

National Lottery passes -
    Slight chances to be richer,
    With lots more than thy neighbour,
    Gained without any labour -
    Keep the system in favour:
An opium of the masses.

No need, jTs. I cut up envelopes from mail envelopes and make note pads. The lotto tickets are just a bonus.

BTW... a dollar? Not likely. That'll just net you a paltry $100,000 at most. I always wince when they ask, "Do you want tag and whatever on that?" If I was gonna spend another buck or two, why wouldn't I buy another ticket on the BIG one? I want the BIG money!

But a hundred grand would be acceptable in the mean time.
