Big Lottery Jackpots

The Mega Millions and PowerBall lottery jackpots are getting huge. So I bought one ticket for each. Unfortunately I only got a matching mega ball. It was worth $2. I tried to go back to the gas station where I bought the ticket to redeem it. The gas station was closed for rennovations.

I went down the street to another gas station. Normally I don't go there because the gas costs too much. I traded in my winning $2 ticket. Used it and some more cash to buy one more ticket for each of these big lottories.

The Mega Millions jackpot is a whopping $640M. And PowerBall is even bigger at $750M. Of course the odds are astronomical for a win. Really what I am buying is a short term dream of what I would do if I won either of them.
