and then I found a dollar!

While making my way to aisle 4 at work today to continue my price-changing project at the moment (everything's going up by 4%), I stumbled across a crumpled up $1 bill! I've never found money before in my life, so while this was only a dollar, I was very excited. I wasn't quite sure what to do with it (am I allowed to keep it?), but I certainly wasn't going to let someone else pick it up so I put it in my pocket. I told my coworker excitedly that I found a dollar, and he suggested that I get a


seeing as how I was lucky enough to find some money. I gave it a little note of encouragement.

The mega millions jackpot is currently at $116 million. It's hard to imagine what I could ever possibly do with that much money, but for starters I would:

• buy a house
• buy my mom a new house since she hates ours. and a new car too because she's currently driving a 2000 accord.
  
• buy my coworker a tsx since he suggested I get the lottery ticket
• get a puppy
  
• pay off the deli's debt so we can close it up and be rid of the thing
• give each of my friends $100,000
• donate $1 million to a few charities. not entirely sure which, but unicef and the american cancer society for starters. maybe something for UW... but not the business school because they're mean to me.
• give half of whatever's left after that to my parents. stick the other half in the bank and live off the interest. yay!

(oh, and a shopping spree should be a given for the absolute first thing I would do.)
