Most lotto tickets, like the huge jackpot wad Mega Millions that Chris Singleton recently invested blew $10,000 on, expire in about 4-6 months depending on the state’s guidelines. But the guidelines only matter if you win. There’s always an ‘if.’ Like what if Kevin Garnett doesn’t have enough juice to put in a pivoting jumper in the paint to give the C’s the one-point lead and game control? Or what if the Nuggets come out cold in Game 6 and choke away their season? Good thing both squads had good tickets. KG’s lane jumper was “Big Ticket-esque”, a flash from the Minny days when his younger self would routinely knock down mid-range jumpers like candy, and it got Boston passage to the next round. As for Denver, well, I’m sure you saw what they did to avoid expiring. Everyone was winning in the Mile High last night except L.A.
