The thing is, *I* have plenty of life-supporting ideas for how to
spend the powerball money, and I'm quite certain that I would spend
it that way (or stop being who I am). However, even if we CAN
influence reality to a certain extent, its good to keep in mind the
fact that the powerball is meant to be completely random with odds
about 149 million to one AGAINST winning. Even if innocent desires
increase the odds a million-fold, the fact is, I've yet to play the
powerball 149 times in my entire life.
