Don't know if your state has Mega Millions lottery, but the Annuity and Cash Prizes has just broken a world record

The Jackpot now stands at $540 Million U$ Dollars

Over a half a billion

Drawing is this Friday Night

All it takes is 1 ticket

I will be buying the winning ticket tonight

SQLDBA team here is pooling together for this one. It would be very difficult to replace the talent here if we won as a group, but that wouldn't be my problem.

You wouldn't?

I love my job. If I have to work for a living, then this is exactly what I want to be doing. But if I don't have to work...

Absolutely not. People working for me is not at all my dream. Management/CEO/whatever is just not for me.

No kidding, about 6 years ago, was working at a place converting from dBase IV and Clipper to MSSQL and web front end.

One day the Clipper app crashed because someone ordered 100 of the same item, and the 2 byte character field for quantity overflowed and took down the system

With that kind of money, why are you at home ? I will be on my private jet or cruiser and be everywhere. The world will be my home.

Just dreaming . . . too bad, we don't get that kind of stuff over here. Not even anything close

you can't travel forever. just spending money all the time and acquiring posessions (junk) isn't satisfying.

at some point you have to find something you like to do. my point is, you can do that without winning the lottery first.

Find something you like to do now, that pays money, and call that your job.
