Our New Addiction

No, it's not drugs or alcohol. Lately, we've become slightly obsessed with playing the lottery. When Powerball hit $97 million a few weeks ago, Corey and I discussed in detail over dinner one night what we'd do with that much money - trips to places like Australia, the Maldives and Europe; a new house on the water, with great views; a winter / vacation home in the tropics, early retirement (sorry, co-workers!), and so on. The next day, we bought our first Powerball ticket.

Over the last few weeks, we've switched between Powerball and Hit 5. (You have a chance at winning much more with Powerball but your odds are much lower than with Hit 5.)

Even though we'll probably never win, $1-$2 / week gives us a small (okay, minuscule) bit of hope that all our wild and crazy dreams could come true.

Powerball is up to $260 million - what would you do if you won???
