Not Quite the Powerball, But… | $250 CASH GIVEAWAY!

Giveaway

13 Jan

 

I bought my very first lottery ticket Monday night.

Isn’t that a rite of passage when you turn 18? I mean, I’m a decade late to the party here, but I guess I was saving my Powerball virginity for the right time. And, I’d say a cool $1.5 BILLION is as good as it’s going to get.

If I win, I will vacate this central Indiana arctic and be posted in a beach chair in the Caribbean by noon tomorrow. By 2 p.m., I’ll probably own an island. I will immediately be on permanent vacation… along with this blog.

Consider this my last post ever.

But, since our odds of winning are something like 295,000,000 to 1, allow me to provide another avenue for some quick cash.

How’s $250 sound?

I know, I know. It’s a far cry from $1.5 billion, but I’ll take what I can get. $250 gets me half of an airline ticket to the beach.

In coach… but whatev.

Go ahead! Get in on this giveaway jackpot for yourself! You know the drill!

And should one of my readers actually win that Powerball tonight, please know that Cotten Tales accepts donations.

    I’d use the money to enroll in Hannah Brencher’s class for writers 🙂

    I would be able to purchase a new camera to help me keep my resolution of learning more about photography!
