Powerball jackpot for Wed 13 Jackpot grows to $1.3 billion And that prompts a question: What would you do if you won the lottery? One of the things the writer would do would be spend a little to make the "dangerous-est place there is" to walk, safe for Melvin C. & thee & me. - EW Kentucky Lottery By Ed Waggener Nobody won the Powerball Jackpot Saturday night, 09 Jan 2016. The jackpot for Wed 13 Jan 2016, is already $1.3 Billion dollars, enough to live pretty big and still do a lot of good in the neighborhood. It's expected that the frenzied buying surrounding the huge jackpot will drive the jackpot even further into record territory. We wonder at CM what good works one would do with this kind of money? Give all the money to the Lord (and through whom? So many claim the only direct connection)? Buy back Westlake Regional Hospital, and kickstart it with a $25 million fund? Shouldn't take over $45-50 million, all total. Give a few million to Homeplace on Green River and another bunch of dollars to Re-Visit Knifley? Endow the Public School System. Build the Career & Technical Center at Adair County High School? Buy, restore and reopen Creelsboro, KY? Montpelier? Beulah Vista? Oscela? Hob's Store? Xerxes? Acton General Store? Re-open commerce in Bengal? Build a new fairgrounds for the county or area? Endow the Adair County Historic Courthouse? Set up a fund to make Columbia's Street's, particularly Downtown Columbia's safe* Or perhaps, keep all the money for yourself? Put it all in a Lake Area Foundation Fund for your family? Build the biggest house South Central Kentucky has ever seen? Buy several of the world's most expensive cars. According to http://www.ubergizmo.com/articles/most-expensive-cars-world/ the most expensive would be "only" $8 million. It's a bit tiring to even try to conceive what to do with that much money. We just wondered if anyone would care to share. Me? I'd take care of my family, then start with promoting low cost health maintenance by get more people Walking & Talking, making Downtown Columbia safe for Melvin C., thee & me. I'd fix up the old courthouse. Then get a new car to travel every road, see every site, and learn as much as I can about Adair, Casey, Cumberland, Green Metcalfe, Russell and Taylor Counties. Don't know why anyone would want to travel anywhere else. *According to a personal hero Columbian whom we believe spends more time walking them than any other person, Melvin C. Branham (over six miles, everyday, for health), the Columbia Square is "the dangerous-est place there is" for walkers. "They'll run over you," he said. And he's exceptionally vigilant.
