I'll start off with the Cash 3 for those who didn't read the forum post in the Pick 3 forum......

Thanks to JADELottery's Pick 3/4 Selector, I hit 381 straight on a $0.50 box play for $40 yesterday evening (but I found out about it this morning when I checked my numbers).  I used Jade's program to determine what numbers I was going to play for Cash 3 and Cash 4.  Had I played $0.50 straight, it woulda been $250 instead of $40, but I decided to play box because I didn't want to wait a year and a 1/2 to 2 years waiting to hit a pick straight on (knowing my luck, that would have been the case).

Before I went to work, I stopped by a package store to cash in 3 winners on 3 $2 Instant Win For Life tickets totalling $6 and a free Win For Life quick pick.  I also had a $2 winner from Saturday night's Win For Life drawing.  I used that $8 and bought 4 $2 Instant Win For Life tickets.  I wound up with this......

......I've had insane luck on these tickets.  I think I'm going to have luck similar to the old $2 Money Bags tickets that existed back in 2005 on these Instant Win For Life tickets.  $30 and a $6 winner out of $8 worth of tickets..........wowzers.

I should also mention, since I'm doing this blog post, because my Cash 3 and Cash 4 tickets were bought last week, the winnings go on last week's KACHING Meter.  So, with the $40 box win and the $2 Win For Life win as a result from last Thursday's winners, the KACHING Meter for October 3 has jumped from 31.3 to a 35.5 (still 2nd all time by about 2.something).

I just checked the numbers for Cash 3 evening and watched the Cash 4 drawing a few minutes ago and didn't hit either today.  Hey, I'm still happy that I finally hit something for the 1st time on Cash 3 and then hit this $30 winner soon after.

Until next time, may you hit your pick 3 and 4 tickets (and hopefully straight on and played straight or straight/box ) for some moolah.
