Oops, guess I voided my win by telling all of you. Darn, I didn't keep it a secret. And, to think, I could be a millionaire.

I really hope assholes who pull this stuff on people and scam people out of their money get theirs in some form or fashion. I covered a federal trial in Midland where the ringleader and dozens of his minions were prosecuted and sent to prison for defrauding a bunch of elderly people out of their money through telephone scams. It looked like a screening for Cocoon or a trip to the store for the retirement home watching all these old people getting out of vans at the courthouse to testify. I hate jerks that rip people off.
