Really big numbers

I don’t do lottery; the mathematical odds keep me alert to any scam run at the government level. For the sake of perspective, this time around the windfall would be fourteen million. That’s 14 plus 6 zeros: enough money to fulfill a few dreams in the time I have left. No need for pension fund worries.
