I Won!!!! And I'm stoking out Maggots!!!

**smitchell333** · 04-01-2007, 08:28 PM

Fucking A I'm so elated right now.

My days of working for a living are over - I have fucking won the lottery!! I was in Wisconsin last week visiting my aunt and we went, like she does every Friday, to the Food Pantry to buy some lottery tickets. I bought one on a whim and fucking A if I didnt win it!!!

I guess I'm going to take the all cash option and making some investments that should set me for life.

My one high $$$ dream that is unfulfilled is heli-skiing so I'm working on arranging a private bird for 2 weeks sometime this month. And since this place and all of you rock I'm going to take 4 or 5 maggots for FREE. So PM if you're interested.

I'm still guessing that its a joke, but its a damn good one, cus who wouldn't want to make sure?

I'm not taking that risk.

EDIT: I guess I could have done a quick google search for any jackpot winners in colorado, but whatever.

EDIT AGAIN: Hmmm, smitchel is in co, but winner was in Wisconson.

You should take me, cause I know how to properly pronounce "Stoughton" (I'm from Madison.)

I'll make a pact with all you guys. If I ever win the lottery for more than say $5 million, I'll arrange just such an event. Who else wants to make this commitment?

**snoboy** · 04-01-2007, 08:48 PM

April Fool's is suposed to be over at noon... of course if it isn't a joke I'd be happy to come too.

For sure. First thing I'd do if I won would be to go on two heli trips. 1 filled with non mag freinds, the other filled with mags that contribute a lot and a few i've skied with.

Am I the only one that got suckered into reading Google's April fools joke? Broadband connectivity through sewer pipes. Anyway, so ridiculous that it was sort of funny

**Pow4Brains** · 04-01-2007, 08:51 PM

If this is true, congrat-u-fucking-lations!!! And, I’m in.

**snowsprite** · 04-01-2007, 09:02 PM

I think I could squeeze a heli-trip into my plans....

What actual maggot is a lottery winner? I know there's one... PM me! I've been trying to remember, for trivia's sake.

Big congrats if this is real and it's a good joke if it's not.

I saw this story earlier today:
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/17874520/
A winner
I am firefighter, practical jokes are part of the job. One of our brother firefighters was really into the lottery. The entire unit would chip in a couple of bucks and this guy who I will call Bob, always checked the numbers. We videotaped the previous drawing and made sure we had a ticket to match those numbers, the trap was set. When it was time to draw the numbers, we hit play on the VCR and yelled for Bob to come get the numbers. Bob wrote down the numbers and proceeded to check the numbers. Of course he had the matching numbers. Oh what a sight. Bob was sure he had just won millions. The joke continued until Bob picked up the phone to call the fire chief and tell him he was quitting. This is my April Fools' joke. Bob did have one great line when it was all over. He looked at us and said, "You may think it's funny, but I am the only guy here who knows what it feels like to win the lottery." For a few minutes, Bob was on Cloud Nine. – Kerry Meyer, St. Bernard, OH

I rarely play lotto, but if I ever win I'm going to rent or buy a rock star-style bus, a crew cab 4WD, F-350 flat bed, and a couple of good mountain sleds, and then drive around North American ski areas with an interchangeable cast of good friends.

**Jim S** · 04-01-2007, 09:17 PM

If this is true then I will post on Epic everyday for the rest of the year.

**smmokan** · 04-01-2007, 09:20 PM

Someone has too much time on their hands...

However, I want a spot on that heli.

**nova2** · 04-01-2007, 09:25 PM

In the event that this really does happen.

Dibs on the heli event and the stoke!

**ill-advised strategy** · 04-01-2007, 09:28 PM

I want to win the lotto too

**Tippster** · 04-01-2007, 09:33 PM

That was so totally my money....

**smitchell333** · 04-01-2007, 09:43 PM

April Fools Day!!

You've been PLAY3D

If it sounds too good to be true - it isnt true. Sorry, I wish it was true - if it was I probably would rent a heli for maggots. Funny how the lure of a heli-trip even makes those who seem to know its not true hope that it is.

Here are a few of the PMs I got (senders names edited so as to not directly serve up embarrassment)

1)If you did win.....
XXXX company could use a benefactor and I could use a heli trip

2) Congrats
Assuming that your thread wasn't an April Fools joke, I just want to say congrats, and that is fucking awesome. Awesome move styling out the maggots as well.

I would definitly be interested in a spot on whatever you put together. I would also say that maggots that contribute a huge amount, I'm thinking of XXXXX, and XXXXX deserve a spot.

Whenver the "what would you do if you won the lottery?" question has come up, I always answer with taking maggots/non maggot freinds on an all expenses paid heli trip as somewhere on my list.

Congrats,
XXXXX

3) Lotto winner!!
Congratulations on your win, and if you didn't that's a quality April Fool's joke.
Count me in if you are looking for a heli crew- I've got a fairly flexible schedule and I've never gone but I have some good connections via work to a lot of the major operations.

Thanks,

XXXX
