The Ticket Was Worth $350,000

If I were either of them, I'd spend it on things like:

• A new full-size pickup, fully loaded.
• A bass boat that I can use just a few times and then store it for the rest of eternity.
• A side-by-side that I don't need but can totally justify.
• A once-in-a-lifetime vacation with a bazillion photos and maybe one or two great stories.
• Paying off every possible bill I have just because.
• A massive garage upgrade with one of those real fancy floors.
