Mr Hippo is Set to Win Big

Mr Hippo has shared his story about how he invested a 3 cent gift in a lottery
ticket for 102 million dollars, which no one won. He then bought a ticket for
the next draw with a grand prize of 130 million, which again no one won. for
last nights draw he went into partnership with his lovely co-worker Belle to
share the grand prize of 138 million.


However Mr Hippo didn't expect to win this prize, in fact he was sure that once
again no one would win, and the pot would continue to row.


He knew this because while walking to the break room at work prior to the draw
with 3 of his coworkers, one of then saw something laying on the floor, and Mr
Hippo picked it up. It was a rolled up one dollar bill that someone had dropped.
Mr Hippo, being the completely unselfish Hippo that he is announced that he
would take the dollar bill and buy a powerball ticket for this saturdays draw
which the four of them would share. He ever wrote the word "lotto" on the back
of the ticket to ensure that the luck that flows from finding the ticket will
manifest itself in the purchase of the winning lotto ticket.


And now, the jackpot is estimated to be 160 million dollars, a particularily
auspacious number, since it is a multiple of 4 and 4 people were present when
the dollar was found.


Mr Hippo now understands the whole cosmic flow of events, starting with those 3
lucky pennies that will lead Mr Hippo and his 3 co-workers to share in the grand
prize of 160 million dollars this Saturday.


The 3 pennies represent the 3 workers with whom Mr Hippo will share the grand
prize.

3 is also the number of draws Mr Hippo was destined to lose before winning the
grand prize in the 4th draw, 3/4th of which he is giving away.


Mr Hippo is, to say the least, very excited.
