Ruth Haffly Said to Dave Drum about Lottery

RH> RH>  RH> IOW, a real long shot.

RH> RH>  DD> True enough. I note that the Power Ball was hit last
RH> RH>  DD> Wednesday and tonight's draw is worth *only* U$40 million
RH> RH>  DD> to a single winner. Long odds - but a huge payout.

RH> RH> And nobody won but I heard on the news tonight that now 75
RH> RH> numbers are in play vs the 50 or so they used until a few months
RH> RH> ago. Since they added the extra numbers, nobody has won a
RH> RH> jackpot. But, they keep trying, and spending money that could be
RH> RH> better spent elsewhere.

RH>  DD> Different lottery game. You are referring to the Megamilions
RH>  DD> game which increased its matrix to 75 numbers on 19 October.
RH>  DD> The also decreased the "Megaballs" to only 15 ... there are
RH>  DD> increased chances

RH> Shows you how much attention I pay to those money wasters.

And even with the increased odds against there were two winners in last 
night's drawing .... "2 winning tickets will split $636 million jackpot"

So, it won't go over to a billion dollar jackpot for December 24th's 
drawing. But, it will be a joyous season for the two lucky winners.

RH>  DD> To be honest I forgot about his corn allergy. Sorry about that.
RH>  DD> I quite like fired mush, couche couche, etc. but loathe grits.
RH>  DD> Go figger.

RH> It's frustrating at times, especially in corn on the cob season. He
RH> tries not to tempt me with eating foods I shouldn't have so I do
RH> likewise for him. I'm glad he's back to eating pork tho; he likes
RH> the broccoli salad I make that has bacon in it. Turkey bacon just
RH> wouldn't taste the same.

No it wouldn't I just fried up two pounds of turkey bacon that I've had 
so long I forgot why/where I got it. I'll add in some end cuts I get 
from the Sav-A-Lot across the street and use it to mix with the 
scrambled eggs for Boxing Day breakfast at my brother's house.

RH>  DD> Don't serve this to him, though.

RH> leave it, nothing really special about it in my opinion. Maybe if I
RH> fried it in bacon grease or something of that

Well sort of - polenta is usually not molded, sliced and fried. But, at 
bottom it's corn meal mush.
