I was going to go buy the winning ticket this afternoon but my crop insurance check that was supposed to be here yesterday still didn't show even today. So 'ol poor me stayed home and will not even get a share of it.

[Hobbyfarmer]

one time i rolled 5 double 4's in-a-row playing backgammon. figured the odds were a tad over 1:60 million

powerball odds are 1:175 million...we'll see

cx-1,

I think you are about right and probably before March. for beans and corn.

XXXX I forgot that drawing.  I could fund my retirement, or farm 5 more years, or in 2014 buy a half section in Iowa. Might as well wait another month till the pots big enough to do more than one of those.  🙂
