Buying one lottery ticket is like standing in your back yard and reaching
for the moon. Buying a thousand lottery tickets is like standing on a phone

to have a ticket to win! I know a lot of people and institutions that could
use the help and I doubt it would change my life much at all.



I won the draft lottery, and almost ended up in Vietnam.


Shoot, I couldn't even win that. I drew number 312 and didn't get to
go I did go out and tie one on that night.



Well, I don't drink, and I had wanted to go Air Force to get Avionics
Electronics Training, but I got 5 4F ratings, instead. Then I won the
draft lottery.
