Sigh. First time ever buying #PokemonTCG booster backs and now I'm afraid of opening them and having to deal with the feelings of disappointment and regret when everything inside happens to be crap. Rates are probably even worse than TCG pocket.

A Skypark Bridge to Sell You

I see that the Mega Millions lottery has changed their game. They've raised the price of tickets from $2 to $5, but they eliminated one of the Mega Balls, so there's only 24 instead of 25. The result: A HUGE jump in your odds of winning! The new odds of winning the jackpot have soared from 1 in 302,575,350 to 1 in 290,472,336! SO much more likely now! Woo hoo! Giddy up!
