I just feel lucky this morning. No other explanation. So I'm putting my money ($2) where my mouth is, and I will hie my butt over to a convenience store at lunchtime, plunk my $2 down on the counter and tell them "I want a PowerBall ticket, with PowerPlay, please". I will try not to spray spit while I say it too (since there's so many "P" words). So go ahead and print this puppy out to ensure I don't edit it after-the-fact, if I do actually get lucky.
