Can I Call it a Windfall?

I don't remember exactly when it was. A year ago, or maybe two? I'm talking about the Facebook settlement I signed up for.
My payment finally arrived in my PayPal account.
$35.30.
I feel so vindicated. Should I jump for joy? Put a down payment on a yacht? Can I call it a windfall?
I'm not sure what to think, and honestly, it's hard to concentrate when I am laughing.

Sounds like a windfall to me 
hard to figure out what to do with all that money but I'm sure you will figure out a way to double or triple it somehow.

My payment showed up about a week ago. I'm rolling in the dough now!
I have another settlement I'll eventually receive, from Amazon. It could be up to $50, but I'm not holding my breath that I'll receive the full amount. But anything is better than nothing.

What was the settlement for? And how many organic chickens can you buy with that?

I think I may have missed it because my email address has changed.

Pretty and I just received those payments in our PayPal accounts, too. We got different amounts from you... It depends on when you signed up for Fakebook in the first place. I signed up when Fakebook was still new so I could talk with a friend who was a missionary in Peru at the time. That was the only way he could talk to family and friends.
No matter how much we got, it isn't enough, in my opinion.
