I have played one particular scratch-off ticket by the Tennessee lottery which I buy at that same store everyday.  The ticket is the $5 Platinum Payout, and the most I had ever won on it was twenty-dollars. The clerk at this rinky-dink store told me that I was the only person that buys that particular ticket and that one day I would get lucky.

Well, lucky I was not.   Last week, I skipped buying the ticket for a few days and according to the stores owner, only 3 of them had been sold -- and the last of which was a $100,000 winning ticket.  The person who purchased the ticket was from out of town and had never been to that store before.

Had I purchased the Platinum Paytout ticket as I normally had, it is very likely that I would have been jumping up and down in the streets as a $100k winner.  As it is now, I am only left with what might have been. 

My name is Sean and this is a true story. 

I have revised this blog to show my appreciation for CBSsportsline's fairness with me in private conversation regarding an improper and off-topic post I made on the main CBB board a little over a week ago. 

I will try to limit my posts on the boards to sports related topics as best as I can, and will post non-sports related comments on my personal blog.  I definetely don't want to have a repeat post in which there is a chance that I may offend anyone.

Thank you again Sportstline staff and moderators.

Sean.

I posted this elsewhere, but then decided it was dying faster then my rating, so I decided it make it my first blog entry.  If you haven't seen it already, I hope you enjoy.

McDonald's Job Application

This is an actual job application that a 17-year-old boy submitted at a McDonald's Restaurant in Florida, and they hired him because he was so honest and funny!

NAME: Greg Bulmash

MAY WE CONTACT YOUR CURRENT EMPLOYER?: If I had one, would I be here?

DO YOU HAVE ANY PHYSICAL CONDITIONS THAT WOULD PROHIBIT YOU FROM LIFTING UP TO 50 LBS?: Of What?

DO YOU SMOKE?: On the job, no; on my breaks, yes.

WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE DOING IN FIVE YEARS?: Living in the Bahamas with a fabulously wealthy dumb sexy blonde super model who thinks I'm the greatest thing since sliced bread. Actually, I'd like to be doing that now.
