Allen Hall: Well, Joel, we just don't seem to have the luck of some people, I'm telling you. Because a gentleman down in North Carolina found a 20 bill laying on the ground outside of a gas station and used it to buy, of all things, a scratch off lottery ticket. And that ticket was worth one million dollars.
Joel Saxum: You know, Allen, sometimes they say, you gotta play to win.
And if someone, if some, by some luck of chance, you get 20 and it's not, you're playing with the house's money, then. I think that, uh, maybe we need to just keep our heads on the ground a little bit more.
Allen Hall: He had the opportunity to buy all kinds of lottery tickets. I don't know if you go into a gas station in North Carolina, there's several kinds there.
He couldn't find the one that he wanted. So he ended up buying just one that seemed okay. And that was the winning one. So if he had chosen the ticket that they had, the ticket that he wanted, he wouldn't be a million dollars richer. Now, the real funny thing about this is they asked this gentleman, well, what are you going to do with all that money?
And it says, we are going to head straight to Golden Corral and eat everything they've got. So he's gonna spend like 40 bucks worth of it? It's hard to spend a million dollars at Golden Corral. But, however, I, it did force me to take a look at the dessert menu. Cause that's one thing about Golden Corral is that they have a lot of desserts.
It's like, it's a big dessert bar thing. And If you, I will read some of these to you and go, wow, okay, this is not bad, right? Chocolate dip marshmallow skewers.
