And how did we do in last night’s drawing?  Here are the numbers from Friday Night’s drawing:

09 13 23 39 54  Mega Ball 34

We didn’t do bad, we had the Bonus Ball “34” twice.

                                    

Matched	Prize	Date	Numbers   Drawn (Mega Ball)
0 of 5 + BB	$ 2	10/20/2006	9 - 13 - 23 - 29 - 54 (34)   Megaplier 3X
1 of 5 + BB	$ 3	10/20/2006	9 - 13 - 23 - 29 - 54 (34)     Megaplier 3X

 

We got $15 dollars on our first draw.  That this is a Megaplied Game, so this translates for me as 1 number for 7 draws:  7 x 2 = $14.00, and that would leave $1.00 in our bank.  Well, this game just got started; we still have 9 more draws on our tickets.  I hate to have tickets expire, while the Jack Pot is going up.  I would have rather spend our money and have our tickets expire together (when the Jack Pot is higher).  So I will hold on to our $15 dollars till later in the game.

The new Jack Pot amount for next Tuesday is worth $18 Million.  The estimated cash value of this jackpot is $9,269,984.  That figure comes from www.ohiolottery.com.

                              

Number so Shares Purchased	Amount you Could Win
.5	$77,249.86
1	$154,499.73
1.5	$231,749.59
2	$308,999.46

 

I realize that this game is only one day old, and that we have nine more draws.  But, time passes by quickly.  It seems only a few months ago that I opened Mega Million Lottery Pool with seven members.  Actually it was about 30 months ago. 

This next game is scheduled to open on Friday, November 24^th, 2006.  That is the day after Thanksgiving.  I will NOT be at work on Thanksgiving or that Friday (Day after Thanksgiving) or that Saturday.  I’m not even sure about Sunday.

For those of you who work at Citi, you only have 2 more paychecks to get in on the next game:  October 31^st and November 15^th, 2006.

I’m attaching Game 29’s Membership list as a separated file.  I already have 13 members with $155 collected. 

A Man Visits a Fortune Teller. . .

A man at the State Fair saw a fortune teller's tent. Thinking it would be good for a laugh; he went inside and sat down.

"Ah...," said the woman as she gazed into her crystal ball. "I see you are the father of three children."

"That's what you think," said the man scornfully. "I'm the father of two children."

The psychic grinned and said, "That's what you think!"
