I would say, without hesitation, that getting the lottery numbers would be the #1 thing that people would ask of a visitor from the future.  So, there's no joke there, really.  What I thought was funny was the possibility of there having been a lottery in ancient Egypt.  If there was any money to be had back then, it didn't trickle down that far.  Please e-mail me at:  pjones41@kc.rr.com, and come join me on facebook, too.  Farmville or Cafe World or Yoville, anyone?
