I got my dollar sent, but as the post office was closed yesterday, you'll probably get it tomorrow, Tuesday at the latest.

117M after taxes, divided by 2=58.5M each, still a chunk of change.

Man, it's been nuts. I tried to drive to the U-Stop and it was swamped with TV camera trucks, & lookyloos.

I wonder if I know the person? This is killing me! Lincoln is a small town.

Don't worry about spending all of it. Someone already spent half of it for you!

Um, yeah, maybe if it turns out you do know them, they'll buy you a cup of coffee and a doughnut or something?

They said on the Baltimore news this morning that the winner was someone from the "Real" midwest.
Not sure what they meant by that?

Thems fightin' words gator-bait.......I dont chew straw, only bibs I have are my insulated ones, and Willie, well hes too liberal minded for most folks around here, hes more a Key West kind'a guy .......and yes most politicians and attorneys should be deported to a land where they have to ABIDE by the laws they have helped create...

the "ReaL Mid-West" referes to the middle of the country as it is today, rather than calling Ohio and Tennesse the"mid" west....

(Geico MAY have actually won, so better stick up for him even if he is from nebraska...)

They say the winner is suppose to come forward tomorrow.. I can't imagine how it feels like to claim the check. Vommit nervousness I suppose.

So let us know if you know this guy, Geico. The clerk thinks they are regular customers. Just think if you where there buying something on Friday @ 3pm.. It could've been you...

Rumors are flying around about who it is. The new conference is at 10:30am. There are 2 dozen satilite trucks parked next to the Gas n Shop.

Pretty crazy.
