Since I am a big winner of $2 from the previous drawing of Mega Millions, it is time to decide how I will re-invest my fortune and gain the upper edge to win the $476 million jackpot on Friday. I typically go the quick pick route, but have decided to use my $2 winning ticket to put toward numbers I choose myself.
But how to pick? Using birthdays, ages and the such seems to yield me lots of very common numbers chosen by many others from my generation, and when I win, I am selfish enough to want to win the entire $476 million and not have to split it with 100 others across the country.
The Mega Millions website offers a random number generator and I may use that for at least one ticket, but that still leaves me one ticket to choose numbers for.
One of my most prized possessions is a fortune cookie, still in its wrapper, that was handed to me by Gerard Butler (yes, THAT Gerard Butler) six years ago. I debated asking him to autograph it for me, but didn't want to look like a complete whack-job, so instead, I carefully wrapped the plastic-encased treasure in several layers of toilet paper, stealthily procured from the ladies room, and then carefully carried it in my bag as if I were transporting a live grenade. Once home, I placed the fortune cookie in my jewelry box where it has sat ever since.
Is it finally time to crack open the cookie for the lottery numbers printed beneath what I am sure is very timely and relevant guidance for my life? Is it worth ruining what is certain to be an incredibly rare collectible for one chance at $476 million?
Heck, yeah!
