Well, as Dylan would say---It ain't ME babe.

I only play regular Lotto WHEN i find money on the street...and of course i'd take the 26 payments so i can not only get even with New York's thieving government, but who the hell could you TRUST to keep $83 million SAFE...Bernie's off to jail, and Citibank...nigro please!!!
