05:43sea,
05:43and the last day is a progressive jackpot.
05:46And so when I was 14 years old, you had to fill the whole card.
05:50And so I won, and I won $1,250, which when you're 14 may as well be the 80-something
05:55thousand I've won on Jeopardy.
05:57My father's an attorney and a very practical person, so most of it was invested in stocks I still have.
06:02But I was able to use about $300 to buy myself a huge 27-inch television to put in my
06:09bedroom.
