Mega Million Lottery Pool - Game 27

Today's Quote

In order to be a realist you must believe in miracles.

-David Ben Gurion

On five lines we got $12.00.  Don't you just love Megapling?  Okay, I was real please with myself, because I hand picked all our numbers on this last tickets.  I found that I had done a good job, just not well enough.

Me being pleased with myself, didn't last long.  You had $1.00 in your bank, and last night you won $13.00.  You have 3 more draws in this game, so you can see where my problem started.  I wasn't able to spend $13.00.

Over breakfast this morning, I once again studied the numbers, and I thought (silly me) we could get three lines for the next three draws.

When I purchased your ticket, I was only charged $9.00.  I was stunned, because I had worked an hour on spending $12.00.  I didn't know what I had done wrong.

So the ticket you have is NOT a Megaplied Ticket.  Sorry. This does leave your with $4.00 in your bank.

Here are your numbers:

Now if you take 3 lines and for 3 draws you get $9.00, if I had of megaplied the ticket it would have been $18.00.  I should have gotten just two lines for 3 draws, but the clerk at Kroger had already handed me my ticket, and I superstitious about not taking a ticket, even if it's wrong.  So we are stuck with three lines that is NOT megaplied.

The new Jack Pot is now $34 Million. The Ohio Web site tells me: The estimated cash value of this jackpot is $19,883,030.00.

This group has 57 Members, with 64 shares being sold.

Here is the breakdown.  Remember this is an estimate only and it doesn't not take into account any attorney fee's, taxes, or tithes:

 I've delayed opening Game 28 so the Jack Pot will get larger (hopefully).  But, I've accepted some new members, so I need to start Game 28 on Friday October 20^th, 2006.
