Powerball Joke
A guy called Jacob finds himself in dire trouble. His business has gone bust and he's in serious financial trouble. He's so desperate that he decides to ask God for help. He goes into the chapel and begins to pray...........
"God, please help me, I've lost my business and if I don't get some money, I'm going to lose my house as well, please let me win the lottery".
Lotto night comes and somebody else wins it. Jacob goes back to the chapel. "God, please let me win the lottery, I've lost my business, my house and I'm going to lose my car as well". Lottery night comes and Jacob still has no luck!!
Back to the chapel. "God, Are you listening to me?? I've lost my business, my house, my car and my wife and children are starving. I don't often ask you for help often and I have always been a good servant to you. Why won't you just let me win the lottery this one time so I can get my life back in order???".
Suddenly there is a blinding flash of light as the heavens open and Jacob is confronted by the voice of GOD himself: "JACOB, MEET ME HALF WAY ON THIS ONE... BUY A TICKET!!".

Is This the Face Of a Future Millionaire?

As you might well imagine, as the pool manager here and someone who loves juggling numbers, I've given that possibility lots of thought.
If you've been blessed? I believe in giving back - although I must confess here I don't know exactly at this point how to do that. But $100,000 would go back to God for blessing our family in this way.
Lot's of folks talk about paying off their house or car(s). I don't think we'd do either! Why? Your home is your biggest tax break - even after you win big. Better to invest the money.
While I'm sure Anna and I would be tempted to take some of the cash and go on a trip, buy goodies, etc. The prudent thing would be to invest the entire amount then take the interest to splurge on stuff - if in fact, that's what we decided to do with that interest.
My mother and grandmother taught me something very early. If you can "beat" the tax man, your savings will build rapidly. Can you say triple exempt tax free municipal bonds? "Triple" means they are exempt from local, state, and federal income taxes. Because of that I sincerely believe that's where 100% of the remaining $900,000 would go for Anna and I - and it would earn us about $4000 a month! That's $48,000 a year! Re-investing some or part of that back into bonds makes that even grow quicker. You get the picture.
