By now you may have heard the news. We’ve been getting lots of calls.
A group of teachers and staff at the school district where my wife has worked for nearly 30 years in Shasta Lake City won the lottery prize of 76 million dollars. My wife chose not to play, although it was offered to her. The callers are all wondering if she was one of the winners. Nope.
It’s a weird feeling. Lots of “what ifs,” and not a just a little irony.
But first, its great to think that these educators won. It will be interesting to see the stories that come out of this. We probably know all the winners, some very well. Shasta Lake School and the Gateway District in general is not an affluent area. Many of the teaching and admin staff are not primarily motivated by big money, or they would be somewhere else, doing something more lucrative. But who wouldn’t like to win the lottery?
More to follow….
