...it would probably be the Montana lottery, because I'm too cheap to buy big time Lotto ticket, so it would be something in the neighborhood of $100,000 (checked on their website for an actual amount). After taxes and mob payoffs, I'm guessing the net would be around $1200.
And so goes the bad spin-off of "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie"...
If You Give The Farmer's Wife A Lottery Ticket
If you give the Farmer's Wife a lottery ticket....
She might accidentally win and net $1200.
With that amount of "mad money", she'll decide to take the family to the Black Hills for the weekend, but first they'll need to finish baling the hay.
While the Farmer is baling the hay, there will be a break down and parts from Miles City will be desperately needed, so...
He'll send his wife to town for parts.
Since she knows she's going to town for parts, she calls her friend Elise who also has to go to town for baling parts and they'll decide to SECRETLY meet at John Deere to have a warm Coca-Cola and knit in their cars while gossiping for 20 whole minutes.
While getting parts at John Deere, they'll overhear word that there's a sale at the local thrift store...all you can fit in a Hefty bag for $10.
Since John Deere doesn't have the baler parts their husbands demanded, they race to St. Vincent De Paul because you remember...
The Farmer's Wife is LOADED with cash from the lottery!
When they return to their outfits after proficiently cleaning out the second hand store, they discover...
their children are hungry.
They take the liebchens to the Airport Inn.
If they eat at the Airport Inn, they'll want to visit (and knit) uninterruptedly, so they'll keep giving the kids quarters to play the games in the back room.
Time and finger steaks will pass and they'll discover that after paying for the food, games, and St. V's loot that the $1200 will have dwindled to around $5.00.
If the Farmer's Wife goes home without parts, money and 5 sacks of used clothes and Smurf toys, the Farmer will have kill her....so...
Elise buys the Farmer's Wife a lottery ticket.
And if you give the Farmer's Wife a lottery ticket...

During the typing of this response, I get a call to go to Hysham to the CASE dealer... seriously?!
