Laggards

Two more folks contributed on Monday. Since we didn't win The Big One last Friday, I decided, what the heck, the more the merrier. Two more tickets are better for everyone, right? So, everyone, give a warm welcome to DOH/ECB's Judith C. and Regina M.

This is what $1,014 in lottery tickets looks like

Scanned and saved. I'll check in periodically on our investment.

Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce to you the latest crop of future ALJ millionaires, forty-one proud, wise jurists, who have made a solid investment.

Good luck to us all!

I'll scan in the numbers tomorrow (I spent too much of today scanning documents into NYCServ to face anther scanner right now).

Why we invest

I just made our investment, but before I post the list, I thought I would share with you an article I tripped over on the web:

http://wellheeled.wordpress.com/2009/07/28/why-i-always-buy-in-at-the-office-lottery-pool/

Basically, it explains that the investment is a kind of insurance against being the only one in the office who didn't win big.

Sounds about right to me.
