Well, it's Saturday, and week#2 of my $100 buying challenge. I chose I different location - a gas station in a divey area that's kind of isolated, across from a Burger King and on the bottom-side of an overpass. During the day on a Saturday, in the morning, you're probably "ok" safety-wise. At night...yeah, don't even think about it.
So, this week's purchase was going to be the Shimmering 7's (20x), but since they didn't have them, I asked the clerk behind 12" of bullet-proof windows what he had in the $5 range. After doing my own Odds research, and seeing what he had, I went with the Flamingos, series 5007. I got tickets 40 through 59. Home now, I read the ticket, and with all these 2014 dates on it, I double-checked the flalottery site to make sure these are still valid (in this neighbor"hood"), it wouldn't surprise me that they would sell out-of-date/expired tickets. Well, good news is (as most of you would know, anyway), these are of course still valid.
Might as well get started...I've got 20 tickets to go...
I was going to post the picture in here, but I can't figure out how to get it from my computer to the blog here (if ANYONE can help, PLEASE DO!).
Anyway...ticket #40, 2nd row, 1st spot on the right-hand-side...the famous "star". Win all 12 prizes. Totalling up all the spots (10x $5 and 2x $25), I've just got my money back, and I've only just scratched the first ticket.
Can't remember the last time I won $100 on a Florida Lottery ticket...but let's see what else I run in to. And as soon as someone tells me how to post pictures, I'll post this one.
Thanks, and good luck everyone. We're all needing it!
