Investing in a 250K

Description

I know it's a play on the phrase, "Investing in a 401K," but here's the real story of this.

On Saturday, September 24, I went to U.S. Cellular Field (the "Cell") to see the Chicago White Sox play against the Kansas City Royals. Despite getting hammered with 11-1 loss on Friday, the Sox responded on Saturday with a 6-3 win against the Royals, only to lose again on Sunday 2-1.

One of the activities for the crowd was the Illinois Lottery promoting Wheel of Fortune. They even had one member of the crowd solve an on-screen puzzle for a free bunch of Wheel of Fortune Illinois Lottery tickets. He got the puzzle (category was Title) which was TAKE ME OUT TO THE BALL GAME.

The wheel used in the promotion at the ball game had a wedge worth a cool quarter million dollars. Despite the fact I couldn't get a cool picture of the wheel on my 3DS, I remembered where the comma was and that it was a bit of a lighter gray than the $5000 space. It was also a bit squashed, so I couldn't make out the value at first, but after seeing it throughout the game repeatedly, I could make it out.
