I don’t know how many of you caught it, but there is this gal in Maryland that claims she has the 3rd ticket from the mega millions jackpot worth about 105 million dollars after taxes. She called a press conference to show the world the ticket; the problem is she didn’t have it.

She at first said she hid the ticket behind the McFlurry machine at the McDonalds where she works. I bet the owner of that Mickey D’s was real happy with that as they probably worried all night about some meth heads tearing the place apart looking for the ticket.

She then called the aforementioned press conference to show the world her ticket, but that was cancelled because she said she misplaced the ticket. Which personally, I believe because no one else has come forward so it has to be true. Plus, who would want to give up a job at McDonalds for 105 million dollars? I can understand her desire to stay working.

The best part was her hat – Sweet Swine Pork Rinds. The funny part is some guy figured out the hat was a tongue-in-check advertisement and the company didn’t exist but he bought the domain name for his own political pleasure. Nice work.

This has me hoping that Minnesota will have a big, lone powerball winner the third week of June that doesn’t come forward because I will help promote Sauerkraut Days by claiming to be the winner. We’ll hold the press conference by the Sauerkraut stand and I’ll need some appropriate attire. I’m thinking the Evolution guys can make a creative hat for me to wear and the owl parade shirt from this year will be a must. (If you haven’t got one yet, get it because it’s the best t-shirt yet.)

I’m thinking we’ll claim that the winning ticket has been hidden in an empty sauerkraut can, in the secret bunker, of the Buck’s Lake Beast (a.k.a. Bigfoot). This will kill two birds with one stone, big lottery winner and the existence of Bigfoot. (I’ve always wondered why the video of the Buck’s Lake Beast hasn’t gone viral, but we’ll change that.) We could then have Buck’s Lake Beast walk over the dike for a bit and then slip off into the mist.

The only problem here is I don’t have that honest of a face, even if I had a Sweet Swine hat but I’ll be the town’s huckleberry. Although come to think of it, I have been told I have a face fit for radio so we have that going for us - so this might work out yet.

Norton, do you mean you are actually going to attend Sauerkraut days this year???? WOW!!

Is there an official Sauerkraut Day attendance taker or is this the work of some rogue roll call agitator? It could be that some people see the tator coming and run, duck, and hide.
