Despite my best efforts, which involved my havin' actually become a part of a pool for the first time, I did not win even a share of last night's Lotto Jackpot. The Saturday night pot is gonna be $145,000,000. Of course, I ain't too sure it is a major claim to fame to be sayin':
"And we're nipping at the heels of the number one spot reached by a single-state Lotto jackpot," said Reagan E. Greer, Executive Director of the Texas Lottery Commission.Ain't that kinda like sayin' We are doin' the very best we can to make sure that it is so nearly impossible for anyone to win our state lottery jackpot that it will continue growin' larger and larger, thereby enticin' more and more people to wager more and more money in hopes of winnin' such -- which, of course, makes a lot more money for us and even leaves a bit leftover to put into the general treasury of the State of Texas. Then, again, maybe I am readin' 'tween the lines again.
