Now Playing: Funkadelic: Groovallegiance

ah a trip down memory lane. my favorite band. their music never gets old to me. on the other hand i keep getting old. lol.

well the first thing i want to say is that i am going to a state that has no lottery. as far as i can tell they don't even have any casinos. i can't even drive to get a powerball or megamillion ticket while i am there.

I AM GOING TO HAWAII!

i can't believe it myself but i am going. i got tickets and i got a hotel. i have to make accomodations to get my megamillion ticket for next friday if the pots keeps growing.

my little girl is leaving home and she decided she wanted to go to school in hawaii. she saved up her money so she can go to school there. mom and dad will be helping out as much as we can. i hear that is what parents do. so i pay and pay and play and play. i need the money now. oh boy. lol.

maybe i will post from the island? i won't be having withdrawal pains because i always play the multi-draw tickets.

well mister mega and mister power has not been very good to me this year. as the odds go up on winning on either game. my total winings go down and down. i think i won 230 something all last year. this year is turning out to be more abysmal than last year. still i slog through trying to hit at least a 150 prize or something. there are no hundred dollar winners in this camp in over a year. here we are past the half way mark for this year and i have not broke a hundred yet. i think i am sitting at 86 dollars for the year. that sucks but that is reality.

gotta be in it to win it.

my wallet is stuffed with losing tickets. i been meaning to up date this for some time and this early morning that i can't sleep here i am.

looking at my last post i had a friend going to cali to get me some tickets. well he screwed it up and didn't get what i wanted. still i won. i got back my usual 10%. i have another friend heading to cali but i don't have the money or the time to track him down. the cali lotto is only worth 10 million. hmmmm how many bills can i pay off with 10 million.

well i made it back up to canada. my super7 ticket finally ran out and they sent me my last check. i wish i could find a place in the states that would cash my canadian checks. i had three checks worth about 38 dollars canadian that i got cashed at a check cashing place.

super7 is ending next month. if no one wins the final jackpot they will trickle down the last jackpot to those who have wining tickets. i got a ticket that will go until september 18th. i am hoping to get a little of that trickle down money. i can only hope. i am going to try real hard to go back in september to get in on the new game lottomax something. i did pick up canada 6/49 and it is good for 26 drawings. i think it ends in november sometime.

ok it is time to go through the hits and misses. i will do the current tickets i have at the end if i don't fall asleep. been up since 3am and now it is 5 am. so sad.

 

i had a 9 dollar win on a 20 dollar wa lotto.

i had a 40 dollar loss on 2 dollar 10 drawing ticket with powerplay from idaho.

i had a 3 dollar win on a 20 dollar 10 drawing ticket wa lotto.

i had a 20 dollar loss on a single day ticket for the cali mega million.

i had a 10 dollar loss on a single day ticket for the cali superlotto.

i had a 18 dollar win on a 10 dollar single day ticket for the cali superlotto.

i had a 2 dollar win on 10 dollars worth of make me a millionaire scratchers from cali.

i had a 20 dollar loss on a 2 dollar 10 drawing wa lotto.

i had a 20 dollar loss on a 2 dollar 10 drawing wa mega.

i had a 1 dollar loss on a 1 dollar wa mega.

i had a 2 dollar win on a 10 dollar wa mega.

i had a 5 dollar loss on a wa lotto.

i had a 30 dollar loss on a wa mega.

i had a 50 dollar loss on a or megabucks.

i had a 10 dollar loss on a wa mega.

i had a 10 dollar loss on a 20 dollar wa lotto.

i had a 8 dollar win on a 50 dollar or powerball.

as you can see i am wracking up the losses this year. just one win will make me forget about all this. i will take 2nd place and be happy.

as long as mega keeps climbing over 100 million i am purchasing one 10 drawing ticket. so i have to buy one more before i go to hawaii. i am going to leave some money with my wife just in case it rollosver on tuesday too. anyway here are some recent additions to the cause.

1 10 drawing wa mega.

1 10 drawing wa mega.

1 26 drawing or powerball with powerplay (it will run out while in hawaii)

1 26 drawing or powerball with no powerplay (hawaii got my money)

1 26 drawing or megabucks with no kicker (hawaii got my money)

i read just recently here at lottery post that if you are an hawaii resident and win money in las vegas it is taxable in hawaii. man my thoughts about hawaii go down each day.

well next month my long term florida ticket runs out. i hope i have a win of some sort. lol. i also purchased a florida lotto ticket while i was there too. they have a triple multiplyer on their lotto. which makes worth and extra 25 million. so next mont i will find out about it too.

hawaii is the first of three trips i have scheduled. hawaii just popped up in june and i had to scramble to make it happen.

i am starting in hawaii and then going to texas in september and then to georgia in october. i have one more free car rental and i am going to use it in texas and run up to oklahoma. get me a powerball ticket from there. plus i will get me tickets from texas. i am looking forward to getting a multiplyer on my mega. i also want to get me a texas lotto ticket. texas lotto is at 37 million. it will probably be down to 4 million when i get there. georgia is where i get to run back down to florida for another long term ticket. i have to save up my pennies to make the florida tickets. so i am looking forward to the plane trips going from west to east of this great country.

well i have up dated as much as i can recall. plus stop by weshar75's Blog here on lotto post. he has good stories to tell too.

please mister mega and mister power give me a decent win. i have to pay for college now. i do appreciate all you do for me. just do a little bit more.

Now Playing: Boney James: I'll Be Good to You

nice easy listening jazz music rendition of a brother's johnson song. back in the early 80's they did a remake of a beatles song strawberry letter 22. now Boney james is doing a remake of their song. this is something new to the rotation.

 

Dancethe blue man kicks it for me again and again. i just can't get tired of him dancing for my wins. all my wins have been in the single digits lately and that sucks. still a win is a win is a win. speaking of wins let me just ramble through the wins.

i had a 3 dollar win on a 10 drawing ticket for 1 dollar on the Ga megamillions

i had a 3 dollar win on a 10 drawing ticket for 1 dollar on the wa megamillions.

i had a 8 dollar win on a 26 drawing ticket for 1 dollar on the or powerball with powerplay for $50

i had a 6 dollar win on a 10 drawing ticket for 2 dollars on the wa lottery.

the only thing i have in double digits is the money i have saved up so far this year and it is pathetic. oh well.

 

i had a total of 40 dollars worth of losses on the wa megamillion tickets. i also had a 20 dollar powerball loss from washington DC.

 

i have a connection going to cali  who is going to pick up 60 dollars worth of lotto and scratchers while he is down there for me. the big spin is over after 25 years on the air. there is something called make me a millionaire and you can see it on you tube. i don't think it is as exciting as the big spin but what the hell. i still would like to be on the air. i think indiana and ohio still have a lotto show that they produce? can anyone confirm this for me?

i have another winner on the oregon lottery not mentioned above but i am not cashing it in just yet. i have one more drawing on the powerball for tomorrow night for the 192 million. i will have 2 oregon lotto tickets one idaho and one florida powerball ticket in tomorrows drawing.

i need to get back to canada to see if i can get another super 7 ticket before they totally end the game. it is another game that is coming to the end like the big spend. i have a few canadian checks to cash while i am up there too. i don't know when i will go but i think sometime in june or early july.

so i hope everyone has a nice holiday weekend. i hope i have a nice weekend too with 7 or 9 figure win. i need to renew my membership here too. i think i will do that on sunday after i hit the powerball.

peace

ps mister mega and mister power don't forget about me.

i have no clue who this is but i am good with it. the randomizer picked it and i am will be listening to it typing this up.

well i am a wee bit happy. come blue man do your thing. Dance

oh yeah i hit again. not a big hit but it was on my birthday that i found out i won a powerball hit. no i am not quitting my job. oh yeah i don't have a job but i am still happy. those of you who keep track of my blogs remember the trip to oregon and the floods in washington state this past january. this ticket cost me a tank of gas, 2 nights stay in a motel 6, and several meals in cheap places. still throw all that out. DANGIT i won 9 dollars on a 50 dollar ticket. Party

 

oh yeah it is my birthday. happy birthday to me.

i got in the mail two checks for work i have done and was not expecting right away. little checks but checks none the less. oh yeah. me so happy.

wait there is more. i got in the mail a much delayed and much anticipated package. the lotto gods sent me some things i was not expecting to get. i got in the mail 26 new york megamillions tickets!!!! i can't wait to go through them and see if i am a winner with any one of them. my newly established lotto connection got me the wrong thing. she got me 26 tickets for the same march 3 drawing. i wanted 1 ticket for 26 drawings. still it is a stack of possiblities. woohoo.

i did purchase a new 10 drawing megamillions 20 dollar ticket from washington. i also had 4 in a row of losing 10 dollar 10 drawing washington megamillion tickets. megamillion is creeping up to the 100 million mark again. i will buy an extra 10 drawing ticket for every drawing over 100 million. it is 65 millon for the next drawing.

i am off to idaho this weekend for the much labored and failed trip to idaho. i am headed to lewiston this weekend to spend the money that i earned on the lotto last year. i will probally pick up a 2 dollar 10 drawing with powerplay ticket while there.

i have another wa megamillions ticket that came due but i need to check it. i see that also my canada 6/49 ticket is coming due too. plus i still need to double check my super 7 ticket to make sure i got what i deserved from canada.

once again happy birthday to me!!!

mr power and mr mega you could give me a millon dollar birthday gift too.

as always Hippypeace with the afro grease.

Well the randomizer put me on an acoustic piano piece. plus i went to a jazz concert last night here in seattle at Jazz alley. i got to see George Duke keyboard player and singer. it was a good thing to do last night and i was glad i was there. i think i am going to go next weekend too to see Stanley Clarke the jazz bass player and more. i think i will be taking in a few more concerts in the weeks to come. suffer suffer suffer is all we do lately. well i want to pull my head above the water and breathe.

well i invested my money in a hotel room from last year and i will spend a night in lewsiton idaho. maybe if i have some more time and a cheap place to stay i will spend another night on the road. you just can't do too much with less than 300 dollars to spend on lotto vacation. yes last year was just not that good a year. all my big hits came from canada and i couldn't even get the checks cashed here last year. so we are off to on a road trip the wife and i in 2 weekends. take what little we have from playing the lotto all last year and just enjoy washington and idaho. the economy dictates that we be a whole lot more frugal.

well i missed some transactions so i will have to give you some hightlights.

i still have not sent off for my check from new york state. i need to do that and i think i will be doing that after this. afterwards i have to clean the bathroom. yecch.

what i have in my wallet are losers and winners. yes i keep winning but millions.

i had a 3 dollar winner on a 10 dollar wa lotto ticket.

i also have a 5 drawing loser on the wa lotto.

i also have a 1 dollar loser on an exchange ticket for mega millions. i mistakenly checked this ticket and earlier and i had a winner. they gave me my 3 dollar cash for this ticket and since i had more drawings i got an exchange ticket.

also in my wallet is my receipt from canada for my super 7 ticket that ran out in this month. the canadians were nice enough to mail my 2 dollar winning check to me. oh yes i have no place to cash it again. just another excuse to go to canada. love the country. i just purchased today a 10 drawing wa lotto ticket. wish me luck.

now the overview with what i can recollect.

the last time mega million went over 100 million i started purchasing extra tickets every drawing. i forgot how high it went before someone hit it but i was buying 10 drawing tickets every drawing past 100 million. i figured it can't hurt. i wish i could do that for powerball now. i got my tickets for that so more about that in a minute.

Getting back to the exchange ticket above. well i was on my way to oregon with my friend to get a powerball ticket. we were joking around in some store where i had the lady check my ticket and it cashed me out. i was just trying to check it not realizing i had more drawings on it. he got some more wa megamillion tickets and we were on our way south.

we got to oregon and i purchase a 26 drawing powerball ticket with power play. plus i purchased a 26 drawing ticket for the megabucks lotto there too. now i did not need another powerball ticket because i already had one but what the heck. i was in oregon and i purchased a lotto ticket. the powerball ticket is going to run out late may and the megabucks ticket sometime in april. i don't know and i don't care right now. i got the tickets. powerball is over 100 million now. whew.

well i did make the trip to florida and i came hunting for bear. i purchased a 52 drawing powerball ticket with powerplay and it is good until september sometime. i also purchased a 52 drawing ticket for the florida lottery with the piggyback prize. which put that one ticket about 156 dollars. the piggyback prize is 68 million. oh to win that or the powerball grand prize. momma.

well i had to drop my niece off at the airport and drive back to jacksonville. i stood outside the terminal and saw a couple of the delta employees having a smoke break. i asked how far was it to the georgia line from here. the one lady asked me what i wanted to do at exit one and i told her i wanted a lotto ticket. the guy told me to get off on exit one and go left to the hess gas station. he said he used to make that run a lot but not anymore since powerball came to florida. we smiled and off i went. i went tot he hess station and got a 10 drawing ticket for the megamillions there too. so right now i am heavy into megamillion. hey i will take 2nd place.

going through the airport in houston i picked up some slips for the texas lottery. i am going to fill them out and send them to my cousin who said that he would purchase some tickets for me. i just need to get around to filling out the paperwork for him. i lost my new york connection and hoping that i can get a steady texas connection for megamillion.

as metioned above i am headed to idaho. i will be picking up lotto tickets there for powerball too. maybe it will keep climbing until i get there. if not i will have 2 tickets in play by the time i get there. one of my oregon powerball tickets is coming due next wednesday. Poppa needs to pay some bills so powerball come through for me.

well the hour is getting late and the caffeine is wearing off. i still need to clean the bathroom and mail my new york ticket off. so wish me luck. i could use some.

mister mega and mister power please shine a little light on me with some cashola. 10 grand would be just grand. Big Smile

PS i am in the top 3 jackpots worldwide right now.

Now Playing: Bryan Jones: Let It Go

how apprpriate a song for my feeling right now. my daughter pissed me off and i put this song on real loud to chase them from down stairs. she wouldn't let me use her headphones and it was some kind of burden for her to drive dad to a bus. it was no burden for me to drive her to seattle and wait until her friend showed up from running errands. Dads get no respect!

like the song says i need to let it go.

anyway i put in my last bit of money from last year into my saving account and i didn't even break 300 last year. hmmmm maybe i should just let that go too. hahaha. i did make enough to get a long awaited drive across washington to idaho on the southern route. i just need to book my room in lewiston or near by.

i was waiting on a check from kentucky that i had not seen and was wondering where it could be. most states are pretty good about sending out the checks. well my wife was going through some old mail and she came across my check from KY. it was for a whopping 4 dollars but it did get added to last years total.

i had a bunch of tickets that matured at the beginning of january but i only had 2 winners both from colorado. i finally got them in the mail and will be waiting on the checks to come back to me so i can start 2009 account.

i did have more losers maturing this year.

1 ten drawing loser for the washington megamillions.

1 dollar ticket for the washington lotto = loser.

1 4 drawing ticket for the washington lotto = loser.


i do have another oregon ticket to check but i have not checked it yet. it is a oregon megabucks ticket.

i have a washington lotto coming due this saturday. i also have a washington megamillions ticket that i know is a 10 dollar winner. i happened to have it on me when i was checking the losers at the counter. so i know i have more for the 2009 lotto fund.

i have no trips planned until next month when i go to florida. i did send off a query to the txlottery people about the time the lotto place is open in the houston airport. i try to pass through there during the middle of the day but my schedule just did not work out that way. so my fingers are crossed that i can get me a ticket while in the airport.

i don't have any more to tell you. i wish i get a thousand dollar win or more this year.

did you hear that mister power and mister mega?

Now Playing: Diana Ross; The Supremes : My World Is Empty Without You [Tranzition Remix]

 

this is a nice and haunting remix of an old classic! it is so nice as i play it over and over again in my background as i type this up. wow. i went to up date my windows media player and it put this back in my current playlist. ah one more time.

 

Wow is another word for how many hits i got in just two months. i had almost 5000 views in under two months. i thought since i could not get on to do an update things would quite down. how wrong i was. nice to know i am not missed. i have posted on other blogs and polls but just didn't up date this one.

 

well let me get to the update.

 

i never made it to cali. i got terribly sick on the day i was supposed to fly down to cali. i had my wife call my friend in cali and let him know i couldn't make it and i was sorry i couldn't use his ticket. the older i get the harder the colds hit you. i just could not get on the plane to go south. i really would like to have gotten a ticket from there. cali is the largest jackpot today. 70 million is no small lotto. oh well until my next trip there. i can't convince my friend to purchase a ticket for me. maybe someone here? hmmmm?

 

i didn't open a canadian bank account. the banks i talked to up there were all charging maintence fees that would have just ate up the balance. so i just cashed them there. jumping the gun a little bit on the up date but i went up to BC and got me two more lotto tickets. i have a canadian 6/49 good until april sometime and i got a super 7 ticket that is good until july sometime. i don't have any plans to go to canada again for awhile. come to find out that i had 2 checks that were winners on the 6/49 and one good on the super7. i just hate check cashing places. i wish i knew someone up there that i could meet in surrey and just plain ole cash my checks on their account. hmmm? any surrey people here? just asking.

 

well let me get to the current things. i see a stack of stuff i just need to blurt out. i think i can go over the winners a lot easier than i can the losers.

 

i had a $10 winner on a $ 10 dollar was lotto ticket. hey look at that a 100% return for once.

i had a $ 6 dollar winner on a 20 dollar wa lotto ticket. Danceof course it is a reason for the blue man to dance. matter of fact i have not put my money in my account yet. i still have the 6 dollars on me. i need to go put it in the bank. no big wins to claim my losses against this year. Crying

 

thus ends my wins for 2008. no more money will be added to my lotto account for 2008. i will be headed to idaho for my birthday and use the lotto money for last year to go to idaho. i will be expecting a ticker tape parade when i go to lewiston idaho.

 

oh the losers. oh the losers are such a long list. i am happy i got a couple of road trips to help me in my lotto buying experiences. i want to thank all my employers and family tragedies which gave me an opportunity to lose my money in many states. thank you thank you thank you. and now onto the losing tickets.

 

montana hot lotto loser with a sizzler 36 dollars

pennsylvania powerball loser with powerplay 20 dollars

montana powerball loser with powerplay 36 dollars

montana millionaire raffle 20 dollars

new jersey pick 6 loser 8 dollars

new jersey megamillions 16 dollars

nebraska powerball with powerplay 48 dollars

 

i am happy i can help provide an economic boost to the player of the states above. 

 

i have added to my list of tickets this year too. 

 

i already spoke about buying 2 canadian tickets. i am just waiting for the acknowledgements from the bc lottery corporation. 

 

well i had on my calendar the change over for powerball and i was going to go to oregon to get me another power ball ticket. i didn't know if my north carolina connection would be able to help out in a timely manner. i have not heard from her in a while. so i thought the ecomonmy might have gottent ot her family. it has gotten to my family. still i have had hard times before and maintained my powerball play. 

 

i was going to go with the wife or a friend of mine to oregon but the powers that be ruled each one out. plus it was raining (yes i know it is the northwest) but i was going anyway. i needed to go the wednesday after the changeover to get my power ball ticket. 

 

i was planning on making a nice slow day down there because of the rain. i was going to stop a few places going south. well i had the radio on in my car and heard that they might be closing the highway because of flooding. i was like oh no. i was not going to drive to idaho through the snow on the mountains. well i just took off and kept driving. i didn't even stop for gas and i knew i was low on gas. 

 

when i got down to the troubled area it was still open and my gas light was coming on and off but i kept going. once i got near the high ground south of the area i pulled over to get some gas. while i was in the store people were doing things to protect their homes and their well being. the waters were going to be threatening the store i was in and they were thinking of closing. 

 

i left there and continued south to oregon. as i got into oregon the rain stopped and all was good i thought. 

 

i looked at the new play slip in the store and let out a yelp of happiness. my dreams had finally come through. OREGON had finally extended the amount of draws i could play the game. it extended the plays to 26 drawings in a row with powerplay. well i was not planning on spending that much money but i got me a ticket for 26 drawings with power play for 52 dollars. ouch. i also got me a megabucks ticket for 10 drawings with the kicker. i could have done more but i did not have that much cash on me. so i was a happy camper.

 

i go out to my car and listen to the radio and the highway was still open. i talked to two friends of mine and then head home. i get 2 exits out of town heading norht and i hear they just shut the highway down. not only did it get shut going north south. there was no way to get back into the seattle area for anyhow. i couldn't go the coast or the mountain or through canada. i was stuck in this town for 2 days. the first night i was trying to get a room with people whose local river was going to flood too. arrrgggh. 2 days with hardly any money in a motel 6. still i was happy with my lotto ticket. lol.

 

i purchased a few megamillion tickets here in washington and some wa lotto tickets too. i would go into more details about those tickets but i am getting short on time. superbowl is coming up.

 

future trips! i have one planned for jacksonville florida. i am already looking forward to getting a powerball ticket from there good for 6 months right along with a florida ticket with the 3x time kicker. now that is almost $160 for the one ticket.

 

ok go steeler. i am a very very luke warm supporter of the steelers. my teams are out of it.

 

mister power and mister mega hook me up. i need the money in this ecomonmy.

nothing like piano music with ladies oohing and la la ing. the perfect music to write my blog.

 

well i think i have decided to open up a canadain bank account. i can't figure a way to handle my canadian checks. maybe when i win the big one i can just walk out of the office up there and deposit it in my account. i was going to run up there tomorrow but i am going to wait until another time. hopefully before the year runs out.

 

lets see. i am sending off two tickets, 1 to north carolina and 1 to south dakota. i hit the powerball a while back and i think i mentioned it here already. i also hit the the hot lotto in south dakota. i got a 100% return on my ticket. Dance

 

 

 

i played the sizzler and i won on two different days and got back the 18 dollars i spent there. i need to break that 100% barrier like i did in canada.

 

ok i did make it back to nyc for the funeral and i was a wreck but i did get my lotto.

i got 2 separate drawings for the new york lottery. they have a very stupid and arcane way of playing advance play for the ny lottery. you can only do 2 advance play tickets in ny. so i got my 2 and they were both losers. oh well.

 

i stayed in new jersey and i picked up a 8 drawing ticket for the pick 6 in jersey. i also picked up 1 megamillion ticket when i first got there. after a few days and the pot was still high i broke down and got another 8 drawing ticket in new jersey. i didn't do the pick 6 again because i am not made out of money. lol.

 

well PA is the opposite way and only about 25 minutes from where i was staying and off i went with the misses to PA to get a ticket. i get to this little place in easton and the guy is on the phone. i made the mistake of asking him if he knew how to do the advance play. he tells me yeah and of course he starts doing it all wrong. i had to stop him and told him i wanted to fill out the form. he could not figure out how to do 11 advance plays with the powerplay. so i tore that one up and did another for 10 drawings which took me up to the cut off date for the change over.

 

now i am up against the change over for powerball with colorado, montana, and PA. which means i have to go to oregon in january to get my next tickets. my north carolina connection gets forgetful sometimes and doesn't buy them on time. so i will be headed down there right after the changeover and hopefully the price of gas stays down.

 

i did have a washington lotto win. i hit for 3 dollars on 2 separate drawings. i also had a mega million loser for washington. i had a south dakota powerball loser too. i also have a kentucky winner. this was the ticket that i did not play the power play. i still have a few more drawings on that this one. so i will be closing it out this week and purchashing a new washington lotto.

 

well i think that about covers it.

 

oh no one more thing or maybe two.

 

one i am headed down to cali for a social visit. i am going to get tickets down there too. i am hoping no one wins the cali lottery before i get there. it will be up to 29 million by saturday if no one hits it. i am thinking of getting a set. by one set on saturday with max drawings and then buy another set of max drawings on sunday. then i want to buy me maybe 40 dollars worth of the big spin tickets scratch off game. i want to spin that damn wheel for the money.

 

well the 2nd thing went away and now it is time for me to go away too. until next time.

 

mr power and mister mega thank you and mister mega you can stop on my numbers!!!

i feel like dancing right now. i mean this minute. my wife comes to me to let me know that she found a check for me from the canadians. i love the people in the BC province in how they just send me my checks when i win. Dancei got a check for 66 dollars canadian. i am almost back to what i  spent when i was up there last. i have to make plans to go back there again for next month. nothing more to tell you other than my next ticket to check will be from north carolina. i think it runs out this week but i don't know.
on a sad note i have to say that i am close to loosing another brother. my heart is heavy and i am fighting back the tears. he is my younger brother and he has cancer of the brain. his wife is moving him to hospice care because there is nothing more they can do for him. i wish i could afford to fly back home to see him one last time before he passes but i don't have the money. i had to borrow from a friend of mine earlier this year when my other brother died. so i am going to save up what money i have and see if i can afford to go early if not i will just have to wait until the funeral.
the last time i saw him was at my older brother funeral and all i said to him was hi johnnie. i was mad at him for something he did but i loved him still. Family.
well maybe mister power will be nice and give me enough money to go see my brother. if not i will see him on his way to his final resting place. you too mister mega.
Hippyto you too Johnnie!

Now Playing: Toshiyuki Watanabe:The Rosy Sky in Winter
my eyes are sleepy and not like rose in winter.
i came down to send off my three tickets to get my money and i have done absolutely nothing. i did get around to checking out my iowa tickets. i got one winner thanks to mister power and i think i won back about 60% of my money. i won 12 dollars on a 20 dollar ticket. if my math is wrong oh well. oh yeah the blue man gets to boogie on this one. Dancemy other ticket was a loser. still the kitty grows. maybe i will have enough for 2 nights in a hotel and gas money for my birthday trip across washington. i was hoping for a trip back to iowa to collect a couple of hundred thousand dollars. oh yes the other ticket was a hot lotto loser.
all i can say is wow for how many pople at least looked at my blog. in four days i had 230 people look at my blog. at this rate i might be able to hit 50,000 views by april. i hope.
anyway mister sand man is calling my name and piano and flute music is putting me to sleep finally. mister power thank you for another gracious win and mister mega i am waiting on you too.
Hippyand love from me.

Now Playing: Al Green: I'm Wild About You
hmmm a R&B song that is just ok from his latest CD.
i have thought about doing this quite a bit. well i can't remember all the past things. so a rambling i will go.
i went to nebraska and picked up nebraska and iowa powerball tickets. what the outcome is i don't know.
my current list of losers are a single play lotto ticket from colorado.
a single play powerball ticket with powerplay from colorado.
a 25 drawing megamillion ticket from ny. i don't know how i will get anymore new ones. it was fun while it lasted. i know longer work where the ny connections is at.
a 15 drawing megamillion ticket from IL.
a 15 drawing ticket for the little lotto from IL. it was a nice trip in Illinois working my way down to KY. i got down to KY and messed up my lotto ticket. i didn't get the powerplay like i wanted and i just did not have the money to correct what i needed.
interlude: i always save up my winnings and go some where. well last year we had problems with out bank and they kept someo of my money. not this year!! next year i am going to take a trip across washington state with my winnings from this year. not a great year by a long shot. still i have enough to pay for a hotel room in Idaho. where i can buy me a idaho powerball ticket.
speaking of winnings Dance
i got a check from canada worth 20 dollars canadian. i will take that check and add it to the other one i have and cash it next month when i go to canada with the little lady. speaking of that i need to get the room.
i got a decent win for me from powerball with the powerplay from missouri. i got back half my money! cani get a whoop whoop? i am glad i had the multiplyer of 5 for the powerball. i just need to send it back to them. i won 15 dollars.
i finally won on the hot lotto and with the sizzler. i won 95% of my money back. i need like 300% money back. anyway the ticket was from minnesota hot lotto ticket. i was happy i stopped in the airport to pick up that ticket. good to know which states let you do that at the airport. i wish more states would do that!!!
i go back to Missouri again with the next win. i just won a free ticket and maybe they will send me another ticket instead of the dollar back. i doubt it. come on missouri give me a free ticket on the missouri lotto. at least i can use one envelope for both tickets.
speaking of getting tickets in the airport. i purchased me some tickets at the denver airport. i got me powerball for 18 drawings til january. january 3 is the last drawing until florida joins the powerball world!! i wanted to get the powerplay but i did not have the powerplay money. i wanted to see if i could get 20 drawings for the colorado lotto but it was hooked to the powerball change over. so i got 18 drawings for it too.
speaking of limitations because of the changeover. i had the same problem with the Montana lottery. i sent an email to the Monatana lottery people to find a dealer near me. in the email was the break down for the remaining powerball drawings. i got 18 with the powerplay. i also got 18 hot lotto tickets without the sizzler. Anyone here ever hit big on the hot lotto? i know people just read and never respond but i ask anyway.
well Montana was doing something special until the end of the year. there was an online game for winning a million like the raffles going on around the country. well i purchased a 20 dollar ticket for a chance to win a million. my rule is i have to have a chance to win a million or i am not playing. i could use a million to start out the new year!!
i had another stop and picked up a 9 drawing powerball ticket with powerplay from south dakotat. i also got a 9 drawing hot lotto with the sizzler. what gives with south dakota? why not more drawings?
well that is it for the purchases. it felt like old times being in a hotel with nothing to do but check my lotto numbers. always keeping the dream alive of winning enough on a ticket that i could just go the state that has the money for me. alas i just go home like always.
so i will get my winning tickets in the mail so i can get the checks back this year and add them to the pile.
powerball will be a wee bit more intersting starting in january with florida coming on line. the second place prize with the powerplay is an automatic 1 milllion dollars. starting jackpots will start at 20 millions. i can use 20 million. the downside is that instead of getting hit by lighting 7 times to win the powerball i will to be hit maybe 11 times.
i met someone over the weekend that had a 200 dollar powerball ticket on him. i was wondering what combination it took to get a 200 powerball ticket. maybe the powerplay with a 2 time multiplyer. oh well. i have not seen hundred dollar winner from powerball in a few years.
 
well i have to thank some cousins of mr power and mr mega. let me thank the little cousins of the missouri lotto and the hot lotto for giving me wins this time around. i would like to thank Mr Power most of all for giving me a winning ticket. Mr Mega i am looking forward to the next win you have for me.
Thanks to one and all of you for reading my blog.

man i am getting worse and worse about doing this.

 

anyway let me ramble to get my thoughts out.

 

st. louis trip netted three illinois tickets. the little lotto is a loser already. i got a mega and a lotto still.

i got a kentucky powerball ticket for 26 drawings no power play. i was bummed i screwed up.

i got a missouri powerball ticket with power play and missouri lotto ticket.

in the airport i got a minnesota powerball ticket with power play and i got a hot lotto ticket with sizzler (whoo whoo!)

i got a check from new york state for a mega million ticket. i am sending a new one to collect.

i am sending 3 tickets to oregon. i had a winner with powerball with a 2x multiplier. i hit on the oregon megabucks on 2 separate ticets.

i am sending away for a powerball winner with the multiplier to north carolina. it is still under a 50 dollars.

i got in the mail a powerball ticket from north carolina good until december 26. i see a trip to oregon in december.

i got a check in the mail to replace the stale check i had from british columbia. not much but 8 dollar is 8 dollars. oh crap it is canadian. just kidding.

i had a loser on the washington lotto. i need to pick up a ticket for that today but not for the full 10 draws.

200 million is looking good for me. it could come from NC, MN, MO.or KY.

OK I have to run to the bank to put in my check and the cash i won locally.

 

thank you mister power and mega for bringing a little joy to my life.

one last thing. i am out of work again but i have a side job going to help keep me afloat.

Hippy

Steve Winwood is always good.
Dancewe get a little dancing because we have a little win. mister mega was thinking of me. i won 3 dollars on 26 dollar ticket. i will keep buying tickets through my new york connection so that maybe i can win the big prize one day.
now for the losers.
i lost on two separate megabucks tickets from oregon with the kicker.
i lost on another powerball ticket from oregon.
i lost on the $20 dollar raffle ticket from washington!
some of my long term tickets look like they are going to be coming due soon. hmmmm. oh well. now i can send two tickets to new york state to get me some money back from them. well i have other things to do now.
Thank you mister mega with another win this week. i do appreciate the win. mister powerball i think you are a littl overdue for a prize. so both of you men can send me a big prize this way.

Now Playing: Alicia Keys: Wreckless Love
well i don't know what to say bout this song but ooh well. just another song in the cd collection on the old pc.
well i got around to checking on that powerball ticket and it was a loser. nothing like losing 26 times in a row at two dollars a pop. Smile that ticket was from PA by the way.
i turned around and lost 10 in a row on the wa lotto. thankfully at 1 dollar a pop.
i did manage to bring the losing to a halt! oh yeah we can let the blue man do a little dancing! Danceonce again my home state gave me another winner. nothing like getting cash back from your ticket. oh yeah it may be small but it is mine. i got a 2 dollar win off a megamillion. MISTER MEGA WAS THINKING ABOUT ME. oh yeah. i got back 2 dollars of my 10 dollars. still it is something to take to the bank. at the price of gas it might not be worth the special trip. lol.
looks like the wa raffle won't sell out in time for the drawing. it is down to 100,000 plus tickets. maybe it will stay above that mark and give us regulars a better shot at winning. i wanted to get another ticket but i just don't have that money right now. maybe this week before the drawing i can get another ticket. if not oh well.
on the up side i was worried about my south carolina connection. i sent some money to get me a north carolina powerball ticket and north carolina chenaged the rules. i was so sorry. it took me a while to get that money up and then they dropped the number of advance plays you can play. i just got a powerball ticket from north caroling that will last through august. my connection will get me another one in august.
i was concerned that some personal things (very important personal things for my connection) would get in the way of purchashing my ticket. the ticket was purchased when i wanted it but was sent to me by fedex 2 weeks later. i was sweating bullets. yeah i am a powerball junkie. i can miss a mega drawing but i love me some powerball. anyway i am set.
speaking of powerball. i had a business trip to oregon and i manged to get me two sets of powerball tickets. as much as i like to berate oregon for it short multidraw play. i win on powerball there more often than anywhere else. matter of fact the powerball ticket last drawing is tonight. will i be going back to cash a big check. ehhh. who knows. i wish.
i got 2 sets of the megabucks tickets from oregon too. i think the last drawing for that ticket is on monday.
i also got a new 26 drawing megamillion ticket from new york. i got a fairly regular connection and now he wants to know if i have hit on any of my tickets from new york.
oh yeah  i over looked another win. Dancefrom new york. the ticket expired on the date of my last up date. another 2 dollar win on the megamillion. woohoo. mister mega  likes me. kewl.
at my office (i really like this company) i have my big lotto check in my locker facing the open area. people come by and say you are the onlp person that they know who won the lotto. i tell them i want more zeroes behind that 1. my check is only for a thousand dollars. i am just happy i have a steady job. it is all good.
still looking for an opportunity to get back to canada so i can cash my canadian check. no one wants to cash it here. if anybody knows of someone who will cash a small canadian check for me just drop me a line. i want to go again to get me a canadian 6/47 ticket. my canadian ticket will be running out soon. i wonder if i hit again.
well i wrote a book this time and i think rip shorter would be proud of me. i hope all is well with him. when i hit the lotto i am going to go to new mexico and look him up some kind of way if he is not deceased.
well mister power tonight could be your night and i can use that 53 million. mister mega thank you for the last 2 wins and i am looking for more from you.
