Starbucks gains a new customer!

Maine gets 1st Mega Millions jackpot with $1.35B grand prize

Congratulations to the lucky winner. $1.35 billion should be enough to buy a 3-oz. junior latte once a week for a whole year without taking a mortgage! Don't forget to bring that $2000 iPhone with Apple Pay, because they don't allow cheap Android phones, and they don't take American Express™.

I might be joking about the last part, which was a line from Visa card's 1980s TV ad campaign. I actually have no idea what credit cards Starbucks takes. I still have a “pandemic” hairdo of long gray hair in a ponytail, and it was raining, so I was wearing a homemade trash-bag rain poncho. They didn't let me past the velvet rope because they thought I was just there to use the bathroom, which was placarded “For paying customers only!” 😉
