O’Mara: I Didn’t Win The Lottery

I never used to buy tickets until I met my husband. He introduced me to the highs and lows of buying that ticket, checking the numbers and then being disappointed that we didn't win. We always talk about what we'd do if we win. He gets really detailed - last night he was already dividing up our winnings between our family members. It's a great dream, isn't it? The dream of taking care of everyone in your family? And all of your friends? The dream of giving to your favorite causes and charities without limit? I blame him for the "let down" I feel today/Maggie O'Mara, KTVB. More here.

Question: Do you feel a little let down today because you didn't win the Mega Millions lottery?
