This lottery is up to $400 million and something.  I think I can squeak buy on the cash payout of $212 million.  Therefore, if I don’t post for awhile it’s because getting my financial affairs in order is taking longer than I thought.  Now one wouldn’t think it would take long to drum up an attorney, a financial adviser, and a tax accountant with such a sum, but one really never knows.

Conventional wisdom says I can win if I don’t buy a ticket.  I was just whining on Facebook that conventional wisdom is so boring and often wrong, but in this particular case, I think it might be right.  So, my to-do list includes Buy lottery ticket today.
