I wouldn't of even cared if I lost - I would of gotten my $10 worth
just thinking of  the road trip.
         What can  you do for ten dollars?:
Buy a pair of double (grande) mochas and a dollar tip.  (but you can't
surf - Starbucks wireless cost $15/day.)
Gas up with 1/3 of your tank and go to santa cruz from san jose (but
you could not park - that cost another $1)
Treat the neighbor kid to an ice cream sundae.
You could park at an amusement park (I don't think you can get in the
gate though)
Round trip on a commuter train.
Movie for ONE (matinee).

It may be illegal, I broke the speed limit (twice today).
Someone's feeling may get hurt. We are adults - if you can't handle
disappointment by now, shouldn't you know this and not gamble or watch
sporting events.
One person is getting the money not a non-proffit. How much money of
the california (or any state's ) Lotto goes to the schools? (I bet less
than 5% - but someone will correct me) What about the CEO in charge.
There are a lot of problems with our society, I would have liked to let
my imagination go to SE PA to pick up a van that I don't need and drive
it home with time that I don't have. How many of us sold ourselves on
vans that would go on road trips EVERY WEEKEND - yet haven't given
ourselves one week away from jobs, home & society in a year. (good job
Larry)

You can send me to a cubicle, but you can't keep me from dreaming. >>
