 oh yeah the winning continues. yes in deed the winning continues. i had two tickets to check and i had them a few days and didn't know it. i think i have been grieving (and rightly so) about my financial problems i forgot to check these two last week. matter of fact i should have check them last wednesday and thursday. any way lets get the loser out of the way. the loser is an ohio megamillion ticket. so sad. the winner was an ohio lot'o play ticket that i had for 20 drawings.

well i didn't quite understand how it worked when i purchased the ticket at all. i took a little time to go over it again on the web and it became clearer. i won't go into the details but i had to check each drawing individually to make sure that i had a win with the balls in the proper spot. the computer picks a bunch of numbers for you and then they pull a bunch of numbers too. you not only have to match the numbers but get them in a certain order. well i managed to get them in a certain order two separate time on my ticket over the 20 drawings. i managed to pull down a whopping $4!!! not much but continuing in my stretch of low pay outs. plus i continue winning back 10% plus returns.

not bad for one state huh? i won on one of my online tickets and on a few scratch tickets from the same state. i am still waiting to see if i get the call to go back to ohio to play the game. my fingers are so crossed. an 8000 dollar win would be just about right for me now. i will take much more if i can get much more but i just need them to pull my name. the minimum prize looks like about 1500 dollars if my luck is bad. i can use that amount too. still if i don't get the pull. at least it was exciting and still is waiting to see if i get the pull.

speaking of exciting things happening. well i got my check back in from south carolina and man they were fast. i wanted to tell something more here but i didn't want to come in here and say i got a check. now i have 4 checks still out there and i will try to get this one out of here too.

the other thing is that i went on an interview yesterday and it went well. it is temp work and it can be as little as 1 day. still i can use whatever i can get. whatever i get will be more than unemployment. plus i got a little job lined up for next week for 3 days at a decent rate that i can use. i am continuing to work hard by looking online for work. i feel a little better and i will keep putting one foot in front of the other.

oh yeah before i go. mr mega and mr power you need to come through for me one more time. thanks.

yep i won again. i even won on a lotto that i don't think i have ever won on before. i won on the MN hot lotto. i got the first and the last number. the first was the white ball and the last was the hot ball. it gave me a whopping 3 dollar win. still the winning is continuing. the first of the vacation lotto tickets are starting to trickle in now.

the other three tickets were losers. two of them were powerball tickets and went to bed dreaming of millions and i wake up to 3 dollars. it could be worse for me. the loser gallery WI powerball and a WI megabucks ticket. plus there was a losing powerball ticket from MN. so the beat goes on and on.

on a sad note  i am getting down to the nitty gritty of my funds. the jobs are not coming back and all my bills are backed up. i mean really backed up. that last job really screwed me over. i have been pasting the internet with resumes to get a job and not even a nibble for over a week. i am doing what i can to keep the utilities going and keep the house. i don't know what to do.   i am used to having some money in the old bank account for emergency. well the car's master cylinder went out and I don't have the money to fix it. i am frustrated but not yet ready to give up. i will have to take the bus for awhile so i can get around. in order to get the car fixed i need about 350 dollars and i just don't have that money right now.   so i cry me a river and keep putting one foot in front of the other. i get my temp check today to pay a few little bills. keep doing one step at a time. that is all i can do.

this is why i ask mr power and mr mega to take me away from the work world and i hope some day they hear my plea. your sad lotto blogger.

yeah i am back twice in one night. the groove has been going on for so long that i just kept working on the lotto thing and i got the tickets ready to go out the door. so if i go out i will be dropping all three off in the mail box. give me something to look for in the mail besides BILLS BILLS BILLS.

this is not a bad U2 song from the pret a porter sound track. yeah you remember that movie from a long time ago. i picked this up on my last trip to vancouver. nice for 1 dollar. canadian at that. right now the canadian dollar is almost 1 dollar US. if i had the money i don't think i would go up there right now because of the exchange rate. still i love going to canada. ehhh it is good.

mr power look nicely to our friends up north and maybe one day they will play that game there too. mr mega you too maybe you can be played there in the great north one day. then they could share in the wealth. oh yeah.

peace and techno music forever.

they are dancing to some old R&B music of the parlimint. plus mister powerball heard my call and gave me a win. it has ended my single digit wins that i have been stuck in all year. i just added one digit. why yes it is only 2 digits but it is my 2 digit win so i can do a dance with my friends. i got the funk and it is making me dance like sirnose devoid of funk.

ok let's get to the details. i got a win out of my south carolina powerball ticket. it was for 16 dollars. wow it could have been for 16 million (i wish ). i did better than my 10% rule. i almost won back half my money but that will be next time. so i am a happy camper.

moving away from this win and looking at the overall goal. i crept a little closer to my goal with this win. i am 31.5% toward 600 dollar goal. this is money in the bank and not waiting to be placed in the bank. i still have to send in my tickets for az, ca, and now sc. sc alone put me over the 33.3% mark. so maybe if i can get a few hundred dollar wins between now and december i will be a happy camper. so i trudge on and keep my head up. i can't do anything more but keep trudging forward.

now since i didn't have any money when my wa lottos came due i only got a two draw ticket. i checked both of those tickets and they were both duds. still the last 5 wa lottos were winners. a little bit of a streak but all single digit wins. i had some money so i got my usual 10 draw tickets for the wa lotto and the wa quinto. hopefully by the time these two come due again i will have some cashola to play the regurlar ticket.

labor day weekend and i am here updating my blog. hmmm what a life i got. all is good. i keep checking the ohio web page to see if they have posted the winners yet for the first game. my luck it will be SORRY BUT NOT THIS TIME.

well mr powerball thank you for the nice hit and i am much appreciative of the win. so let's do it again and make it a bit bigger. yeah yeah yeah i know you can do it. mr mega i still like you too. so hit me up with a few grand and i will be a happy camper. well the pizza is done and i am going to get me some. until next time.

PEACE

i gotta do this real quick because i need to go to bed.

money is real tight and i just got a 2 draw washington lotto and a washington quinto. i spent a total of 4 dollars. i was expecting a check and it didn't come. shoot. anyway i know i haven't won on one of the draws already. i was watching the local news and they had the winning numbers up and i was a loser. i still have one more drawing on this ticket.

mr power and mr mega help me out.

i know the odds are stacked way against me but it makes me feel good to talk to the lotteries as a person. i am working on getting myself out this hole without lottery money. trying to be a realist and acknowledge the unbelievable odds but it just makes me feel good dang it. so i will keep talking to the lotteries as people and hopefully they will answer me with a 6 or 7 digit win.

life is closing in on me and it is getting ugly. real ugly.

anyway i got my check from the wonderful friends to our north today. it is only 8 dollars but it is still over the 10% rulle. i just wished it had a few more zeros behind it for once.

i seem to be hitting a lot lately but not anything big. lots of little fish and no big bites. i still have not sent out the tickets for the az and ca tickets. i don't knw when i will get a chance next. i got work this week and thank goodness. i need every little penny i can get. so if i can get a little time to get those tickets off i will and let you know they are out the door.

mr power if i ever needed you now i need you. mr mega you can help out too.

wow. i am in here again and i am a winner again. oh yeah. nothing to call in the lawyers but a winner i am again.

two times in a row i have won on washington lotto and washington quinto.  i won 6 dollars on the washington lotto and won 1 dollar on washington quinto ticket. so out of the five tickets i checked three of them were winners. so i keep winning the little prizes and nothing in the hundreds. it is a wall  i need to get through this year.

well tomorrow i am going to put what little cash i have in the bank and try to get the forms out for cali and az.

ok mr power hook me up with some hundreds!!! mr mega hook me up with some thousands!!!!

i woke up dreaming i won the cali lottery.  so i hurried to the computer to check my numbers and sure enough i had won.  er ah just not the big one. just not the big one again. oh well. i won $2 on the superlotto. it is good. still i need a big win this year in the hundreds.

well i was able to check 3 tickets and 1 out of three was a winner. so i keep winning but just the little amounts. first ticket loser was a hot lotto ticket from DC. the second ticket was a winner from cali on superlotto. the third ticket was a loser from the cali megamillion. i still have 2 more ticket to check. washington state doesn't make it easy to do a number search online. well i will just have to go and check it at the store my self. matter of fact so far this year it has been the biggest winner for me ($33). so i will check on those two latter while running errands.

the update on the two other tickets from az and bc. az says just to mail it in as usual with the claim form off the web site and bc says that they will just send me a check for the 8 dollars instead of free tickets. i am still checking the ohio page about the scratch off game. i am waiting for them to pull the first 30 winners on their first game for the new show. i was watching one online game show and the one contestant said that he entered 30 of them before getting the call. so i will cross my finger that i get the call on my one and only ticket. if the list comes out and i am not on it. i will just move on and look forward to the next time i can get to ohio. come on ohio and pull my name!!!!!ohio i am right here. don't you see me waving at you?

mr mega you passed me up this time but there will be a next time. mr power keep me in mind when you are passing out the big prizes. i need to retire from the work world.

    well i won again. sort of . 

my last last super7 ticket expired over the weekend. i don't normally check but now i like to check. well i see i hit 4 times over the course of the ticket on two different lines. well 3 numbers only give you a free ticket that is worth 2 dollars. so that would be a grand total of 8 dollars and above the 10% rule. the problem is i don't know what they are going to do with the free tickets. will they just give me a check for the 8 dollars or will they send me additional tickets? i don't know. i did sent an inquiry to them and they are pretty good on returning emails.

moving on to a lot south of the northern border and touch on the southern border. i checked my az powerball and it was a loser. so sad. i checked my az pick ticket and it was a loser too but wait a moment. i played the extra this time and i got a winner out it too.   not much of a winner out of it though. i didn't understand how it worked but the web page was very helpful in explaining the game. oh yeah i won a dollar on the extra. now i hope they will send me a check for that dolllar!!! all these little extra things on these lotteries like this extra here and bc canada is driving me crazy. first time i played this and i win. i would have played the kicker in ohio but it was not clear at all on how it was played. a tale of two different states.

not bad i checked 3 tickets and i won on two of the three. i am still holding out hope for the ohio lottery new tv game show. well i better go back to the real world and deal with the suffering i am going through.

mr power you passed me over this time. please don't pass me over again. i could use the money. mr mega i am always waiting on you and thank you for the last win.

i don't have the bles but the boogie bles!!!!!!!

i broke the losing streak with a washington megamillion ticket. this is the second ticket from washington that i won on in a row. i never win much and i seem to be sticking to my 10% rule. i win back 10% of what i pay out. i got a 2 dollar winner on a 20 dollar ticket. ah to have about 8 zeros behind that 2.

i am wondering where i am on along the road to my 600 dollar goal? i am not even a third of the way through. no big hits this year at all. i think 30 dollars was the biggest hit this year. oh well i will keep hanging in there.

i am too lazy to check my last last super7 ticket which expired today. plus i have some az tickets that are running their course tonight. so look for a big winner out of az for me tonight.

i did do something a little different on my reorder ticket. considering i am in a low cash situation. i decided that i had a lot of megamillion tickets right now. so i shifted down on the washington megamillion tickets and only spent 10 dollars instead of 20. so hopefully the next time it comes to gettting a ticket here i will have more money.

well mr power i hope you were nice to me tonight because i could use some good luck. mr mega thank you for gracing me with another win and i am looking forward to more.

well my good luck streak ended as soon as the vacation was over. i got time to check some tickets that came due and it is all bad. canadian super 7 = loser, cali mega = loser, cali superlotto = loser, minnesota powerball = loser. hmmmm. i was hoping some of my good luck on my vacation would rub off on some of my tickets. well it didn't.

i should change my modd to crappy.

well mr power you let me down again. i will sitll keep playing and i hope mister mega will help me out.

well i managed to get me a wisconsin powerball ticket and a wisconsin badger ticket. the second place prize on the wisconsin badger is only 500 dollars. bunch of cheap skates. anyway i got an 8 draw powerplay ticket from wisconsin and a 8 draw badger ticket.

well i took most of the day driving across wisconsin's interior to get to the minneapolis st paul area. the next day we went shopping at the mall of america and then i went out to get me another lotto ticket. just like wisconsin i got me a 8 draw powerplay ticket from minnesota and a 8 draw hot lotto ticket. while gettting the powerball i screwed up and got a one drawing powerplay ticket. so i bought that from her too.

well it is early in the morning on the 12th and i have to prepar myself for the new rules on flying. the long waits to get on my plane to go home. i will check in tomorrow with some good news hopefully. i have a few tickets that came due but i don't feel like looking them up this morning.

so mister power and mister mega help me out. your faithful fan.

well after many years of not playing or being in this part of the country. i was finally in michigan for a day. from cleveland i was heading up to traverse city michigan for the night. well i pulled over in pontiac michigan to get my tickets. i got 1 20 draw ticket for the michigan lottery and 1 20 draw ticket for the megamillion ticket. so i am hoping as always to get some little hit.

i took the ss badger across lake michigan last night and on the boat i won another prize!   it wasn't a lottery  but i won. i won a whole pizza!! so now in two different states i have won something. i hope they call my name in ohio. man i will find a way to get back to ohio some kind of way. i hope it is at least a month out. i am going to send them an email to find out how the process works. i know for cali there is a blind fold drawing for the people that they are going to have on the show. probably the same way in ohio.

well i am in wisconsin now and i have to get me a wisconsin megabucks and wisconsin powerball ticket. so i will be finding one before i leave here in lovely maniowoc.

as always mr power i am here where you just gave out 200 million dollars to some worth souls. i will take the minimum payout to help me out. i need to leave the work world behind. mr mega i invested in you twice so help me out too.

well i am on my jaunt across four states and the buying has begun.

i purchased a 10 draw one dollar ticket for lot o play. a crazy looking game but it has a million dollar start. i don't know what i am going to do to check this thing when it is due. it looks like a keno ticket. oh well.

i purchased a 10 draw mega million ticket here in OHIO. i am leaving today to go to michigan. anyway ohio has a kicker on the playslip. i was already to play this from what i could see off the web page. i didn't see anything about a kicker. i asked at two different stores how the kicker works when you do multiple draws and no one knew. so i said screw it and just got a normal ticket for 10 draws. driving with my relative she pointed out some gas station that had a kicker winner and the winner got 100,000. hmmm. i think it will have to be the next time i come to ohio.

well now i am vain and i like chances to get on tv. well ohio is one of the states that have scratch games that give you a chance to get on their game show. so i budgeted when coming here to get 5 tickets. their new game is called make me rich make me famous. well i got me 5 two dollars tickets and started scratching. on the 5th ticket i won 20 dollars. i was happy.  so i held onto the ticket looking for my next opportunity to cash this ticket in and get more. i only tried one place in cleveland and they didn't have it. well we were going to an amusement park outside of cleveland and needed to meet up with another family member. well the gas station meet place didn't have my game i wanted to play. since we were in two cars i drove down to the next gas station and cashed the ticket in for 10 more make me rich tickets. i drove back up to the meet spot and scratched the first ticket and the party was on.  the very first ticket i scratched was a winner. not only was it a winner it was an entry into the drawing for the game show as a contestant.  that was me jumping in my car. yeah baby. my sister in law didn't quite get the gravity of my win. anyway later at the park i went and scratched the rest of the tickets. i picked up another win for 2 dollars.  we had to meet up at the same place on the way back to cleveland. so i went back to the other gas station and cashed my 2 dollar winner in for a loser. it was a loser too. so i was going to get another ticket out of my cash i had on me. well i only had a dollar on me. they did have a dollar version of the same game and i got a dollar game. it was a loser. oh well.

well ohio gave me some wins and i am a happy camper. i hope and i cross my fingers that i get the pull for the game show. after all these years playing in cali and not even getting a chance to get a opportunity. thank you ohio. i may never get to the game show but at least i got a chance.

i see that someone came forward to claim the 800,000 2nd place prize for north carolina. well that is good for him and i am still in it there.

well it is 5:30 in the morning here and i need to go back to the room and pack up and get out of here forever. looking forward to getting tickets in michigan.

mr mega i just picked up another of your tickets here in ohio and will be getting another one in michigan. so give me a little something to help me with my bills that are growing now. mr power you can help out too because you know i am always waiting on you.

oh yeah i won again. not enough to write home to ma but i won. my blue boys like the parliaments.

anyway i got my canadian check in the mail today!! it was for more than i thought it was going to be. i thought it was going to be just 4 dollars canadian but it was for a little more. i managed to get $10 canadian from them. so my bank will be happy to get the one check instead of a few checks. alas that is my last subscription to a canadian lottery. i have another canadian ticket but not a subscription. i will let you know next week about that ticket.

this is not the only good news i got. i got my cali check in the mail yesterday. it was what i expected to get. it would have been nice to get a few more zeros behind the $10 i got from them. so i get 2 ten dollar checks from "C" places [canada and california].

i noticed on the last powerball drawing that there was a 800,000 dollar ticket in north carolina. man i am tempted into looking at that number but i am going to wait as always. the real winner will show up and claim it saying that they worked at this shoe factory for forty years and they are going to retire now. so i wait and wait.

i did check my washington lotto and it was a loser.  well i did win three tickets out of three tickets the last time i checked my washington tickets. i did buy another washington lotto ticket. it was a 20 dollar ticket for one quick pick and i picked for 10 drawings.

now i was on the fence about getting a washington quinto ticket. the first place i went showed it at 860,000 dollars for a jackpot. still they had a long line. so i left there and went to a 7/11 to see if i could get the tickets there. i get in there and they had the quinto jackpot at 890,000. so after i paid for my washington lotto ticket i watched the screen behind the counter. after a short wait the real jack pot of 920,000 came up on the screen. i asked the guy when i got there if that was the right jack pot. all i got was a nod. i mean people need learn the language when they get here. arggghhh.

i was going to get a quick pick for quinto but my funds are real low and i decided not to do that. i am at the i need a job level again. i hope i can get me one when i come back from vacation. i need something or there won't be any posts until i get a job. lol. really miss calculated this last job. never doing this again.

anyway. mr power and mr mega will be taking me away from the work world. well at least i hope.
