Pure luck. That’s what happened to a first-timer in Las Vegas this week. The 24-year old won $2.4 million (hmm, ironic that she’s 24 and won 2.4 million – same numbers – hmm, sorry…). She came into her millions at a Wheel of Fortune slot machine. Now that’s good fortune! And all she did was put in $16. If only this was the standard for all first-timers!

Overdue
A book checked out in 1947 has been returned to a Tulsa high school. Well it’s about time! The book, New Word Analysis: Or School Etymology of English Derivative Words, was mailed to the school with a $250 check. The school doesn’t have specific overdue fines, so they say the money will probably go to a scholarship fund. The feeling-guilty party says she wanted to include the money because she values the education she got at the school. Too bad that the “New Word Analysis” book isn’t so new anymore. After all this, let’s hope they don’t toss it!
