Ledo and Powerball


Sam had basketball practice tonight, which means that Mom left dinner as a "wildcard" option. So the boys and Dad went to Ledo Pizza. It was pretty desolate there at 8:00pm – just Kimberly the waitress and her Dad the cook. Dad asked Kimberly to take a picture of them. On the way home, they stopped at 7-Eleven to get tickets for the $500 million Powerball drawing that evening. Pete wanted to pick the numbers, but when he showed his ticket to Dad, Dad explained that picking 4, 20, and 69 is not a good idea since you’ll end up splitting the pot with about 100 other people. So they went with quick picks. Dad was really worried that Pete’s numbers (that he talked him out of playing) were going to be the winning ones. But fortunately that was not the case. In fact, nobody won so now they can get another ticket for the next drawing which is projected to be the biggest in US history! ($750M+)
