Not sure why the exclamation point. I am actually not a huge of fan of Alabama. Hey, no lottery. Boo! But anyway, it is our halfway point to beautiful St. George Island in the panhandle of Florida where we will be tomorrow.
Of course with the MegaMillions hitting $1.25 billion we bought tickets on the rest of the drive through Illinois, our starting point, and then through Kentucky and Tennessee. I have no idea if anybody got it since this morning the official results have not been released yet.
Like I will win, anyway. lol
Finally had a Whataburger. My take? It was all right. I mean, to die for? Something to seek out and stop anytime we are in this area of the map? Nah. But it was on the "bucket list," kinda, and that checkmark has been checked.
Onward to Florida on the last leg. Should be there tonight around 4 or 5.
I will try to check in here as much as I can. But it is of course vacation—so time and clouded judgement may be extenuating circumstances. Either way, see you on the other side.
Onward and upward.

I think someone in the Bronx (NYC) won a million but I don’t think anyone won the jackpot. I didn’t even win a $1.

@lovebuglena It reset to $20 million. But right now it is $52 million. On the way back home from Florida I only bought one ticket in Tennessee.

I'm sure your enjoying your vacation or maybe by now it's coming to a close? I've never heard of a whataburger before. We have a culver's in our parking lot at work and I've never tried their burgers either now do I plant to. I am a bit curious about their custard dessert though.

Culver's is a "cut above the rest." You really ought to try it. Puts most other fast food chains to shame, really.
Whataburger really reminded me of a scaled down Wendy's burger in taste. Very similar in texture and flavor. Nothing to exactly write home about, but not the worst food I have ever eaten either. I'd go back.

We didn't win; but I think someone or more than one won. There was no jackpot available on the website this morning which made me think someone won. Drive safely.

Congratulations that's a big money. Me I never ever won in a Lotto lottery here for I never bought one or two tickets. My youngest male first cousin is an authorized dealer outlet of Philippine Charity Sweepstakes.

@porwest He's the only winner and he shared some of his loots to his closed relatives especially those who gave him the tips.
