Wouldn't you hate (okay, not hate, but be a tad disappointed) to realize you won the Mega Millions lottery and then find out you have to share it with three other people?
I usually have a knitting project in mind when I write it into one of my books, but Laura’s apricot-colored shawl just kind of appeared upon the page as I was writing the first scene of Lady Wynwood’s Spies, volume 4: Betrayer , and it surprised even me. I immediately went to my yarn stash to find a yarn for it, and I searched through my antique knitting books to find some stitch patterns. I made her an elegant wool shawl she could wear at home. The shawl ended up tagging along with Laura into the next book, Lady Wynwood’s Spies, volume 5: Prisoner , where it imparts some comfort to her in her trying circumstances. The two stitch patterns are both from the same book, The Lady’s Assistant, volume 2 by Mrs. Jane Gaugain, published in 1842 . A couple excessively clever and creative knitters might have knit these patterns in the Regency era, but they would have only passed them around by word of mouth or scribbled “recipes” to friends or family, and it wouldn’t have been widely use
No, because that'd usually how the big lotteries go. With so many people playing them there is bound to be more than one winner.
ReplyDeleteI guess I never thought of that because I only hear about single lottery winners.
ReplyDeleteI just heard one of the winners bought the ticket with other people. So tht's even less for her.
ReplyDeleteI don't know that I'd do that, if it comes down to large sums of money and working with other people. Too much potential for conflict, I think.
ReplyDeleteYou are right!I don't know about doing it that way either. I heard that it's turned into a mess. The lady now says she bought the ticket on her own. Her co-workers have confronted her. People around here say that on their jobs they make copies of the tickets and give them to everybody in the pool.
ReplyDeleteI heard about the Mega Millions mess! Making copies is a good idea!
ReplyDelete$213 MILLION each! And you'd hate to share? That's just crazy. How could you even spend $213 million?
