Gambling Greatness

Every month before the Labor Department releases the numbers we wager on how many jobs have been created.
A few months I guessed 34,000 (for Kirby Puckett) and the number was 35,000. But I didn't know someone had actually been collecting dollars. The money was offered to me anyway, but since I didn't put up beforehand I didn't feel right collecting the winnings.
This month, the guy running the pool warned everyone that I would win again, and I did just that. I guessed 90,000 (well below expectations) and the number came in at 108,000.
I will spend that $7 wisely.
Kate, we going Sizzler!
