Stephen Colbert won $500 million Money Ball lottery!

stephen colbert wins powerball!He won! He won! Well almost anyway.  This is part of out problem. I remember in my travels through Mexico and Central America sitting at streetside eateries and little kids coming to the table to sell lottery tickets. There were tickets to win $10 all the way up to $1000! Chances of wining one to 10 or one to 100 or even one to 1000. Here in the land of I WANT IT ALL AND I WANT IT NOW we stand in line to spend our money on a chance of 175 million to one.  Hey, a million to one winning a million bucks will make a big change in one’s life without ruining it as we find with so many of the big winners. Why do we need a billion when a million will do?
