Yesterday, like many other people around the country, we bought some Powerball lottery tickets and talked about what it would be like to win the jackpot. Tyler asked me what I would do first if I won the money. I told him I would hire a lawyer and a financial advisor. He was confused. I explained to him that while winning that amount of money would seem fantastic, a lot of bad things could start happening. Bad people would come out of the wood works and want to find ways to steal my money. He said I could keep it in the bank and it would be safe, but I told him that bad people would find ways to get it. I gave him an example that someone could try to kidnap him and make me give them money. I didn’t realize it at first, but this started to worry him. After about 15 minutes when we had changed the subject and were on the other things, he said out of the blue. “I hope we don’t win the lottery anymore.”

By the way, no one won the jackpot. The projected new jackpot is 1.4 billion. Go buy your lottery tickets people!
