No kidding the lottery can come my way any time. Why is it these things are never closer to me? They need one in KC or St Louis

I wish I could win the lottery as well, ladies :-)

And Desi, the first RT I ever went to was in KC. My problem with the convention is that I often want to see the city they're in and there's often no time to do it.
