Didn’t win the $564 million Powerball on Wednesday night? Me either. I played so I could dream about what I’d do with a half a billion dollars, but it looks like my dreams are on hold. Three people matched all five numbers and the powerball so the lucky winners will have to share the big jackpot. Before taxes, each will receive only $188 million. Only.

The lotto isn’t the only way to win. You could always head for the casino to try your hand at slots, or poker or roulette. Then there’s off-track betting. Or fantasy sports leagues. But I could never figure out the rules of most of those games. And forget about the betting rules. It’s all too complicated for me.

So I’ll stick to the lotto and my lucky number picker. It’s easy, doesn’t cost much to play and the dreaming is almost as fun as the winning. Almost.
