Fort Dodge is on the map.

So I’m watching the news this morning before heading out to work, and which little dinky midwest town makes the east coast news?? Fort Dodge, IA.
I have a couple friends who reside in that little town. There is no way I would have ever guessed a town like that would make it on the news out here in Boston. Apparently someone is walking around their corn fields with a $200 million dollar lottery ticket. What are the chances the person who won it is one of my 3 friends who unfortunately (in my ‘east coast’ opinion) have to live there?
According to the 2000 census there are about 25,000 poor souls stuck in Ft. Dodge. I have 3 friends there. That gives me about a 0.012% chance of having a newly rich friend.
If you are one of the three friends I have in Ft. Dodge, I am reinstating the ‘friends tax’ on the 0.012% chance that you are now rich.
Think of the school loans.
