I know that $1.6 million split two ways does not seem like a lot but it could put me on easy street.  So I think I will play a $1 megabucks ticket with kicker for $2.  With $800 thousand I could be debt free and have some nice toys to play with.  It would definitely improve my life and I don't think I would have a hard time spending it.   

You know something I am going to be eating my words and I am going to play the last 3 draws of 2005.  I know I said I would wait but $6 million split two ways is a nice way to start off 2006 so I am going to buy me the tickets.  I am trying to stick with the $1 powerball ticket with powerplay for $2 routine.  I think some of the powerball jackpot winners have won off of one ticket.  I guess if it is your day to win then it is your day.  You know what they say even the sun can shine on a dog's butt.  If the jackpot continues to roll it could be $40 million for the first draw of 2006.  But I do not plan on letting it leave 2005 with out one more jackpot winner.

Well on my one line I had 0+0 so no prize tonight better luck on saturday.

Well I just got back from a 2-hour slot session at Spirit Mountain Casino.  I started off on the "Sphinx" with minimum credits and lines for awhile then I said the hell with that and started to max bet.  I hit a $90 win off of $40 so I went and tried my luck on the "Triple Action Wheel of Fortune" progressive lost $40 so I was even.  Well I went and put $10 in "Gilligan's Island" but I played the least amount of credits and it sucked it dry.  So onto the big win of the night which was "Star Wars"  3 out of the 4 slots on "Star Wars" was a win.  One for $29, $59 and $141 and a $30 lose.  So I was about $240 when I went back to "Triple Action Wheel of Fortune" because the progressive jackpot was over $6 million.  Well I lost $140 trying for the jackpot and said that was enough.  So I went back to the machine "Sphinx" and put $20 in and hit for $145 win once I started to max bet.  So now that I had my original $90 I also had $155 casino bucks and I said see ya later. 

Well I got paid today and after the bills and medication were bought I had a little left over for a treat.  So I got myself a Deli Turkey and Honey Ham sandwhich and a $1 powerball ticket with powerplay for $2.  I am hoping for a nice prize tonight that would end my year on a good note.  I will post my results tonight after the draw.

I have a list of casino games that I like to play or have played in the past.  "4th of July", "African Dusk", "African Treasure", "Foxworthy", "Go Ape", "Queen of the Nile",  "Red White & Blue", "Red Whit & Blue Deluxe", "Sphinx", "Sphinx 2", "Atlantica", "Bandita", "Buzzard Bucks", "Catch a wave", "Chariot Challenge", "Cleopatra", "Inca Sun", "Sun & Moon", "Texas Tea", "Tiki Torch", "Triple Cash", "Triple Texas Tea", "Diablo Diamond", "Eagle Rock", "Enchanted Forest", "Penguin Pays", "Penguin Pays Deluxe", "U.S. Ace", "Wave Watchers", "Wheeel of Fortune Triple Action", "Wild Africa".  These are the games that I have played over the years since about 1998.  I do not play them all when I go into the casino but I may pick a hand full and play them from time to time when I go out to Spirit Mountain casino.  My slots that I have hit a jackpot on were "Red White & Blue" for $2000 back in 1999 and in 2003 "Penguin Pays" I had a $1869 jackpot.  Most of the time I go into a casino I either break even or lose.  But sometimes I can get one of those lucky times and walk away with a jackpot or a couple of hundreds in my pocket.  I like the slots when I go into the casino.  I guess the table games just do not interest me.  My favorite slots are the video slots with bonus rounds for extra credits.  My favorite penny slot is the "Mr. Cashman".  My favorite $.05 is "Penguin Pays" and also the $1 "Penguin Pays".  When I play $.10 I like to play "Queen of the Nile".  If it is $.25 I like the "Red White & Blue Deluxe" game. 

Well 2005 is less than two weeks from ending and for the year I am a big loser in the Oregon lottery and my few trips to Spirit mountain Casino and Chinook winds casino.  My second new years resolution is to not play as much in 2006 as I did in 2005.  I would like to play every drawing in 2006 for no more than $2 at a time.  I think that that is a more reasonable goal then saving my money for the high pots and going over board.  Slow and steady should be the name of 2006.  I also would like to play more $.01 machines for all the lines but less credits.  We shall see how it all goes very soon. 

Well I was bored yesterday so I started to day dream about my powerball winning moment for 2006 and then I started to shop for things on the internet.  My first two big purchases will be vehicles from Daimler-chrysler company.

1.2006 Dodge Dakota Laramie Club Cab 4x4-Fully loaded(Patriot Blue Pearl)

2.2006 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon 4x4-Fully loaded(Deep Beryl Green Pearl)

I printed out those two vehicles because I wanted two vehicles under $40 thousand and they both are.  So for less than $100 thousand I can have the vehicles that I want and they are new but they are not really that overly luxurious.

My print outs are going to stay in my room for all of the 2006 powerball season so that I have something to keep me going.  I still have not decided if the last four draws in December of 2005 if I will put down any dinero on.  But I am leaning towards waiting for 2006.

It has snowed here and some of it has turned to slush and is compacting and making it slick.

Well it has been about 4 days since I had a lottery ticket in my hand.  I guess it is easy now because I do not have any dinero but when I get paid on wednesday is when I have to start to save up for the start of the 2006 powerball season.  I am serious about setting a start amount this year than I have been in the past.  I want to concentrate on the big jackpots and quit wasting my money on building up the jackpots.  Of course it is easier said than done because when the drawings come up and I do not have a ticket I may freak out and run down and get one.  Here in lies the struggle of the alter ego of WESHAR75 a man torn between the world of reality and the world of lottomania.

With 4 more draws left in december it is going to be tough to say well I can just get one little $1 powerball ticket with powerplay that is only $2 what is $2 going to hurt any body.  I must push through this block, this division of my mind and see the final prize which is large jackpots to hunt down and slay.

Today here in Oregon it has heated up a bit though tonight we are to have a snow fall I will see it when it gets here.   

Well that wraps up Powerball 2005 for WESHAR75 I am holding off until 2006 to buy any more Powerball tickets.  I am going to wait and let the jackpot climb so I can build up a cash reserve to play powerball again.  I think that once powerball is past the third week in january it will be large enough prize to start playing again.  I think as 2006 comes my powerball resolution is to play not all the time but when the jackpots are large and ride the big waves of powerball.  I think that it will be hard for me to do it and not just buy a ticket every draw.  I hope in a week or two I have not broke down and bought a ticket.  I must be strong, got to fight the urge to splurge, must fight, do not know how I can hold on.  It is funny because every year I set a threshold that I will start to play at like $100 million or $200 million for powerball and every year I say what the heck one ticket won't hurt.  See you all in 2006 and happy holidays and a safe New Years. 

Well I had 5 lines and 3 were 0+0 and then 1 lines was 1+0 and the last line was 2+0.  So no prize money well better luck next time.  I am hoping for a roll over until the 21st when I get paid.

I was thinking today about what I would do with roughly half of $54.2 million in cash after the tax man comes.  What kind of life I could have and it definitely would be an interesting one.  I thought about how the friends would come for money and then turn on me because I didn't bend over so they could turn me into their own personal ATM machine.  OH! Well who needs those kind of people any ways they will get a gift which they did not have to work for and if they complain they can let the door hit them were the good lord split them.  I want to be nice to friends and family with the winnings but I am not going to be a sucker either. 

My choice of vehicle has turned to Cadillac because I have liked them when I see them on T.V. but I could never afford it.  I am going to try to stay healthy with my diet so that I can continue to lose weight over the next year.  Maybe with all that money I could hire a trainer and nutritionist and a personal chef.  I think I will safe my money and do it myself I have always been frugal with the dollar bills so I doubt I will get crazy stupid with the winnings.  I do want to have lottery days and casino days every month with the new winnings got to have some fun.

Well the numbers that I have for wednesday are:

WB:3/8/11/14/16/17/19/20/21/22/23/25/27/29/31/33/37/39/42/50/51/55

PB:10/18/20/34/36

They are terminal QP's so I think that I am going to not use the LP's RNG for now.  Since I will be only playing this week.  I will be back on wednesday with the results.

On a side note we had our first real day of freezing temperatures and everything was covered in white frost and ice was out.  We still have another week before winter comes in to full effect.  I hope that you all are nice and warm as I am staying near the heater. 

Well my mother hooked me up today with a $5 "10 times the luck" scratch-it which was a dud but she also then turned around and gave me a $20.  So I can now play powerball for this week so I got 5-$2 tickets at TJ's Superette in Sheridan, Oregon.  I am hoping that I hit the $112 million jackpot on wednesday.  So a big thanks to mom for coming through with the extra cash to play lotto.  The tickets were terminal QP's and they all had powerplay on them.  See you back here on wednesday night for results. 

Well I had 4 lines of 0+0 and 1 line of 1+0.  So no prize and I think that this is my last play for powerball until at least the 21st or later.  Merry Christmas from WESHAR75!
