@NATEizKING: I can eat mustard on anything ... sticky rice, Fruity Pebbles, tequila shots ... anything.
Side job/side hustle ideas

@CyclonesRock: After careful consideration and consulting with family and friends, I would like to announce I am placing my $2 winnings in the lottery transfer portal. I will purchase a Powerball ticket and will be forever grateful to Mega Millions for the opportunity. It is not about the money, I just feel Powerball will be a better fit for me...
