I've changed my mind and decided not to play Cash 3 again this week.  I think I might look into that system where you subtract 1-1-1 and add 1-2-3 and use a 9x9 square and use 3 numbers that touch (it's somewhere in the LP forums and I've seen a lot of people have success from it) and may try that next week if I feel like it.

On Saturday, I'll probably slowplay at that tobacco mart.  I might lay off scratchers tomorrow and save my dough for Saturday.  (in any case, I'll still post the usual KACHING Report tomorrow detailing all winners this week)  I did buy some tickets today (hitting 1 winner in the process.....with a net loss overall for today unless my 2 Mega Millions tickets for tomorrow hit big), though.

Until next time, may you hit a bunch of winners and win some big moolah.

....I pulled off 3 consecutive winners on 3 $3 Strike It Rich 2009 tickets.  The one in the middle is the top picture.  It went free ticket, ticket above, and $9.  Wowzers.

That reminds me of something again.........a change to the highest winners in each denomination of tickets.....

$3:  $40 (Buck $3 + $10) on Barrel of Bucks -- sometime in 2005 $45 (Double Bill $15 + $9 + $6) on Strike It Rich 2009 earlier today

Until next time, may you hit special symbols (that win, multiply, or win all) and may they have nice amounts attached to them.

....on YouTube!

I took some advice from comments (here) on my winner's montage and added some music.  I didn't add what was suggested, but I did find some good-sounding music (at least it sounded good to me) on my computer and added it to the video.

Enjoy!

No, I didn't hit my 2nd $100 winner in less than 48 hours.

Yesterday, after winning that $100........I received an early Christmas present which I'm looking at as I type this.

It's a 19 in. flat panel monitor with about an equally nice picture as that new 42 in. HDTV in the living room.

Man.....could this weekend not get any better or what?

Until next time, may you win some moolah and (I know I'm saying this kinda early, but.....) get some nice gifts for the holiday season.

.......I thiiiiiiiiink I hit a wiiiiiiiiiin all!

(Trying to spoof the "Oh Holy Night" Christmas song......or is it part of "Silent Night"?  I don't know. )

I hit this winner (7th career $100 winner.....with $100 most I've ever won on a single ticket.....still) as part of 3 back-to-back winners earlier this morning.  It went like this........free ticket, that ticket above, and free ticket.  Later on, I hit 3 back-to-back winners again on 3 more Stocking Stuffer tickets in the form of free ticket, $3, and $3.

As I'm typing this, I just realized something.........this is my 1st $100 winner on a $2 ticket since my very 1st $100 winner ever from 2004.  So, it's time to update something I did back in July......top winners in each denomination of ticket the GA Lottery has......

$20:  $100 ($50 + $20 + 3 x $10) on GA Lottery 15th Anniversary Millionaire Extravaganza -- July 2008

$10:  3 $100 winners (1st and 3rd coming via 5 x $10 + 10 x $5 via firecracker "win all" and the 2nd via 4 x Bill $5) on Cash Explosion -- 1st 2 in Feb. 2008 and the 3rd in May 2008

$5:  $60 (15 x $4 via truck "win all") on $250,000 Cash -- May 2008

$3:  $40 (Buck $3 + $10) on $3 Barrel of Bucks -- sometime in late 2005 IIRC

$2:  2 $100 winners, one on $2 Mad Money ($50 + $30 + $20 bonus box) -- July 2004, and the other on $2 Stocking Stuffer (10 x $10 via bill "win all") -- today

$1:  $100 (Jumbo $20) on Junior Jumbo Bucks -- April 2005

Wowzers.....what a day today.  I hit several more winners which I'll recap in the KACHING Report coming up on Friday.

Until next time, may you hit win all symbols....and may all the prizes be nice.

Not much this week.  Just 2 slowplaying sessions at that tobacco mart.

Saturday:

Free ticket on $3 Strike It Rich 2009

$25 (5 x $5) on $10 Millionaire Mania

Free ticket on $5 $500,000 Player's Club

Tuesday:

$6 ($3 + $2 + $1) on $3 Strike It Rich 2009

Free ticket on $1 Quick 6s

$7 ($7) on $3 Lucky 7s Bingo

$5 ($5) on $2 Loteria

$7 ($7) on $2 Instant Win For Life

Free ticket on $2 Stocking Stuffer

On both days this week.......it was ugly.

If you're wondering.....no, I didn't play today.  There's been company over all day.  I'm supposed to go somewhere with my father tomorrow morning for breakfast.....and some lotto playing afterwards (and maybe some Keno playing as well.......4-spot madness baby! ).

The KACHING meter for November 28, 2008:  6.1

I hope everyone had a safe and happy Thanksgiving!

Oh yeah........my mom left very early in the morning to do some "black Friday" shopping.  She came back with a new pair of shoes for me that she got for $5.......and these look like pretty darn expensive Nike shoes, too.  But.....her and my stepdad came with something else.  I heard both of them grunting as if they were carrying something heavy through the door.  You wouldn't believe what it was that my mom also bought that I never saw coming........

.....a 42 in. plasma HDTV.

Yeah.......she found an insane deal at Wal-Mart on a 42 inch Samsung HDTV.  We've got it all hooked up in the living room (with the TV that used to be there now in my room......which is an upgrade from my old TV.....has surround sound built in and a better picture (although not as good as that new HDTV)).  It has an AWESOME picture.  I watched some shows like Maury and Sanford and Son and the picture quality was a ton better than the old TV.

Well.....until next time, may your tickets be nothing but winners and may you hit spots like crazy playing Keno.

P.S.  I'm not going to play Cash 3 this week.  I'm taking a break for a week and probably will resume next week, complete with evening (just evening......not gonna worry about the other draws and "combined" numbers anymore) generations.

Saturday:

(Slow playing)

2 free tickets on 2 $2 Stocking Stuffer tickets from 2 different rolls

$4 and a free Win For Life quick pick (4 x $1 + WFL) on $2 Instant Win For Life

$3 ($3) on $2 Red Hot & Wild 7s

$12 (12 x $1) on $3 Lotto South Cash

Free ticket on $2 Loteria

(and at other stores after having lunch at a Mexican restaurant)

$20 (5 x $3 + 5 x $1) and a free ticket back-to-back on 2 $2 Stocking Stuffer

$10 ($10) and $30 ("5X" $5 + $5) back-to-back on 2 $5 $500,000 Player's Club

$6 (2 x $3) and a free ticket on 2 $2 Stocking Stuffer

Back-to-back $10 winners (Tree $1 + $5 and 2 x $5) on 2 $5 Merry Money

Monday (semi-slow playing at a grocery store before I had to go to work):

Free ticket on $5 $500,000 Player's Club

$3 (3 x $1) on $1 Super Blackjack

$5 (Star $1) on $1 5-Star

Free ticket and $3 ($3) on 2 $2 Stocking Stuffer

$2 ($2) and $20 (10 x $2 via moneybag "win all") on 2 $2 Instant Win For Life from 2 separate rolls in the vending machine

Tuesday:

$2 and a free Win For Life quick pick (2 x $1 + WFL) and $2 ($2) on 2 $2 Instant Win For Life

$5 ($3 + 2 x $1) on $2 Stocking Stuffer

Wednesday:

Free ticket on $1 Holiday Cash

Friday:

$5 ($3 + $2) and a free ticket on 2 $3 Strike It Rich 2009

$3 ($2 + $1) on $2 Stocking Stuffer

On Saturday, it was a profit of $58.  Monday, it was a $20 profit (thanks to that $20 winner at the end....or else it would have been a break even day).  Tuesday, it was a $1 loss overall (I took the last 4 Instant Win For Life tickets from that roll that day...that's why I got a Stocking Stuffer).  Wednesday, I let those $9 in winners ride and claimed my free Win For Life ticket.  It wound up being a total $9 loss....because I cashed in that free ticket and got another kind and lost.  Friday, it was a $9 loss.

The KACHING Meter for November 21, 2008:  17.8

Oh yeah, something I noticed about some of the Cash 4 plays I generated last week that I forgot to post about.

I noticed last week that several of the numbers I generated nailed 3 out of the 4 numbers (not in exact order) drawn and the 4th number was one away from the drawn number.  Also, several had 3 out of 4 with the 4th number being wrong, but close to the drawn number (like 2 or 3 off).  It's just another interesting thing I've noticed.......

Until next time, may you fill your wallet (or purse if you're female) with some nice winnings.

Well, there weren't nowhere near as many hits this week.  Here were the hits:

Midday generated numbers:  (Note:  You can see all numbers generated last week in a previous blog post)

775 hit front pair on 11/15 evening

343 hit front pair on 11/17 evening

343 hit box on 11/18 midday

Evening generated numbers:

877 hit both front and back pair on 11/14 and 11/15 evening respectively

Nothing hit in the "combined Cash 3" and Cash 4.  Absolutely nothing.

I've noticed something since I started keeping track of all generated numbers using Jade's Pick 3/4 Selector.......I've noticed that one of the 2 draws I inputed to generate the numbers for the evening draw has been hitting in some form......whether it'd be box, front pair, or back pair.  I'm going to see if I can capitalize on this today (and throughout next week) and see if this holds true again.

Here's the numbers I've generated for this week:  (quantams are 1-play)

Cash 3 Midday

 

Fixed/Classic	Float/Classic	Fixed/Quantam	Float/Quantam
491	462	166	011
566	537

 

Cash 3 Evening

 

Fixed/Classic	Float/Classic	Fixed/Quantam	Float/Quantam
032	232	829	045
175	375
424	624
567	767
816
959

 

Ok, so the 2 draws I used to generate these evening picks were 567 and 959.  Sounds like I need to play front and back pairs (IIRC, it's been more front and back pair hits than box hits) in some fashion with these 2 numbers to see if history repeats itself.

Cash 3 "combined" (2 draws used to generate were today's midday and last night's evening)

 

Fixed/Classic	Float/Classic	Fixed/Quantam	Float/Quantam
491		525	062
567

 

Not as many numbers generated this time.

The KACHING Report will be coming later today.  I'll be trying out the new $3 Strike It Rich 2009 and the new $1 Quick 6s tickets today.   (and maybe I'll have the same luck like I did when the Stocking Stuffer and Instant Win For Life tickets first made their appearance)

Until next time, may your numbers games net you some moolah.

.....money all the way!  Oh what fun it is to win on a lottery ticket.....HEY!

[cue up clip of Jaye P. Morgan on The Gong Show hitting the gong]

*GOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNGGGG*

[cue Gong Show losing horns and buzzer]

As you can see.......I had another nice day with 2 sets of really nice back-to-back winners.   Also, on that $20 Stocking Stuffer winner.......I pulled it off very similar to what my mom pulled off when those tickets 1st came out....5 $3s and 5 $1s.....except her's was a bill symbol for all 10 prizes......mine was all 10 numbers matching.

Boy what a good day today.  I'll recap the other winners (and these) in next week's KACHING Report.  The profit today was pretty darn nice....mostly because of those nice winners.

Until next time, may you hit those multipliers and number (symbol, or card) matches for some serious moolah.

Saturday:

Didn't get to slowplay because I went somewhere else.  It was still a good day, though.

$40 (5 x $6 + 5 x $2 via bill "win all") on $2 Stocking Stuffer

$10 (Jumbo $2) and a free ticket on 2 $10 Jingle Jumbo Bucks

Sunday:

Free ticket on $2 Stocking Stuffer

Monday:

Free ticket on $1 Holiday Cash

2 free tickets on 2 $2 Stocking Stuffer

$6 (3 x $2) on $3 Winfall

Friday:

$6 ($6) and $3 ($3) back-to-back and $3 ($3) on some $2 Stocking Stuffer tickets

Saturday's profit was good ($25 to be exact).  I lost $8 on Sunday, $10 on Monday, and gained $2 profit today.

The KACHING meter for November 14, 2008:  8.5

I *might* do some slowplaying tomorrow.  Don't know yet....depends on a couple of things.

I had a very hard time getting today's Cash 3 tickets.  I wasn't able to get what I wanted for a few reasons including but not limited to technical difficulties.   I did get some tickets, though.

Until next time, may you win some moolah.

Here's what Jade's program came up with (and the pool of numbers where I'll choose 3 sets of Pick 3 numbers -- but I've included Pick 4 just for the heck of it to track it as well):

(As with my last post, all "Quantams" are 1-play-based and this is for GA Cash 3 and Cash 4)

Cash 3 Midday:

 

Fixed/Classic	Float/Classic	Fixed/Quantam	Float/Quantam
310		300	065
321
332
343
354
365
376
387
398
720
731
742
753
764
775

797

 

Cash 3 Evening:

 

Fixed/Classic	Float/Classic	Fixed/Quantam	Float/Quantam
361		583	853
405
877

 

Note that it didn't generate many results.  However, this was a similar setup for when I hit my $40 box ticket straight on.  There was 1 unique result in the list (and now that I'm starting to remember.....it may have been Fixed/Classic which came up with that 3-8-1 win) along with others that were drawn recently.  Chances are I'll be playing 405 box for 6 or 7 evening draws.

Cash 3 "Combined" (when I entered the numbers, I entered last night's SECOND draw (since it was a "double drop" last night.....I used the LAST set of numbers drawn) and today's midday draw:

 

Fixed/Classic	Float/Classic	Fixed/Quantam	Float/Quantam
310		383	158
361
731
782

 

Cash 4 Midday:  (even though I don't plan on playing Cash 4 at all this week)

 

Fixed/Classic	Float/Classic	Fixed/Quantam	Float/Quantam
2287		3583	5536

7204	6135
9190	7995
9243	8174
	8227

 

As I said, I'll play 3 sets of Cash 3 numbers today ($0.50/6 draws for each more than likely) instead of my usual $3 in $0.50 box Cash 3 plays and $7 in Cash 4 straight/box plays.

We'll see if these numbers hit and we'll see if I chose the right 3 out of that list of picks for Cash 3.

The KACHING Report is coming later today.

Until next time, may your numbers hit for some nice moolah.

This week, I decided to do something using JADELottery's Pick 3/4 Selector.  I decided to take ALL of the outputs for all the methods (Fixed or Float and Classic or Quantum) for both Cash 3 and Cash 4 that I generated last Friday (for the numbers I played this week) and put them into an Excel spreadsheet and keep track of hits.  Here's what I've seen this week in regards to Cash 3......

Midday Cash 3:  (Note:  All "Quantums" are 1-play-based)

 

Fixed/Classic	Float/Classic	Fixed/Quantum	Float/Quantum	Hits	Date and Draw
027	224	763	716	027 Front Pair	11/9/08 Evening
440	775			027 Box	11/13/08 Midday
578
991

 

Evening Cash 3: (** = the one I played for $0.50 box from Fri. to Wed. for $3 total)

 

Fixed/Classic	Float/Classic	Fixed/Quantum	Float/Quantum	Hits	Date and Draw
027	011	347	576	335 Front Pair	11/7/08 Evening
112**	149			234 Back Pair	11/7/08 Evening
335	234			457 Box	11/8/08 Midday
420	457			027 Front Pair	11/9/08 Evening
558	542			335 Back Pair	11/10/08 Midday
643	765			850 Box	11/11/08 Evening
866	850			850 Box	11/12/08 Midday
951	988			988 Box	11/12/08 Evening
				027 Box	11/13/08 Midday
				420 Back Pair	11/13/08 Midday

 

FYI, there were 2 box hits for Cash 4.....2972 on 11/7/08 Evening and 7228 on 11/12/08 Midday -- I decided not to do whole tables just for those since those were the only hits.

I am amazed at the number of hits that came from Jade's Pick 3/4 Selector for Cash 3....and even more shocking to me is that most of them came from the numbers I generated for the *evening* draws and that it's been 50/50 so far for both midday and evening draws for hitting something.

I'm considering changing up my numbers playing this week.  Normally, I buy a $0.50 box play for 6 draws on Cash 3 (for $3) and 7 straight/box draws for Cash 4 (for $7) totalling $10.  I might change that up and do 3 sets of numbers for Cash 3.......$3 at $0.50/6 draws on one number, draw, and method (e.g. 28X front pair for midday), another $3 at $0.50/6 draws for another number (e.g. X41 back pair for evening), and another $3 at $0.50/6 draws for another number (e.g. 592 box for evening).  That's $9 total, $1 less than what I've been doing.  I might consider bumping 2 of the number plays up to 7 draws to make it a round $10.

This is something that makes me go "Hmmmm......"

Until next time, may you hit your front pairs, back pairs, boxes, and straights on your numbers games.

......money all the way!  Oh what fun it is to win on a looooottery ticket!

Ok, so it wasn't a Jumbo Bucks and my rendition of the Jingle Bells song would make Simon Cowell enter into an insane asylum.   I did hit this nice winner this morning while out shopping a bit north of here (and not slowplaying this week).  That makes twice this week that I've hit the bill symbol for all 10 prizes (see 1st one in a previous blog post).

What a nice way to start the day!

Until next time, may your scratchers win you some serious moolah like mine did today.

What do ya know?  2 lucky numbers again........and this report's a good one this week.  Here we go.....

The KACHING Meter for November 7, 2008:  31.7 -- 3rd all time

The profit for this week was pretty nice.  Yeah, I let some of the winners ride a couple of times this week, but the results were good.

It's a bit rainy.  No wonder why I hit that $20 winner on that Jingle Jumbo Bucks today. (if you don't know what I'm talking about.....refer to a previous blog post where I talk about weather and my luck on tickets)

I don't think I'm going to that tobacco mart to slowplay tomorrow.  I think a change of plans are in order.....going somewhere else for some shopping this time around.

Until next time, may all your tickets win you some moolah.

Went by and cashed in some winners, kept some cash, and bought some more tickets before I went to work today.  This was the result.....

....something I hadn't even come close to doing since April of 2005 when I hit that Jumbo $20 on that Junior Jumbo Bucks, kept $70, and bought 3 $10 tickets.  2 back-to-back winners........$50 and $20 (the April 2005 was 3 back-to-back winners on 3 $10 $100 Million Cash Spectacular tickets in the form of $20-$50-$20).

While I'm doing this, to update you on the YouTube video stuff.......I might do a monthly-or-so KACHING video for YouTube.  I just can't wait that long to scratch off tickets that I buy (from store or place to home) and can't wait to cash in small winners (rather than wait 'til I get home with winners, scan the pictures, and do a bunch of editing to the pics).

Until next time, may your scratchers be nothing but nice back-to-back winners and win you a nice sum of dough.
