"A Mesa resident has won this week's Powerball jackpot!"
When you live in Mesa and you hear that on the news, for just a brief second you get really excited... until you realize that they wouldn't know someone in Mesa had won if that person hadn't already come forward.
And that you didn't buy any Powerball tickets this week.
I have to think that this dramatically diminishes any hopes I had of winning the Powerball in the future. After all, when is the last time you heard about two people winning a big lottery from the same town?
Lucky bastard...
