I want to thank all who wrote me words of encouragement.  I was kind of down when I wrote the last newsletter.  But, I confess, I do get real depressed when someone wins the Jack Pot and it’s NOT us.

My internet was down the last couple of days.  My inbox was full, and it will take several days to clear it.  So I was going crazy not knowing if we won or not.

I finally got out this afternoon and Kroger gave me $36.00.  I knew we had the bonus ball, but was unsure where the remainder came from.

So in checking www.txlottery.com I found these wins for us.

                                    

Matched	Prize	Date	Numbers   Drawn (Mega Ball)
3 of 5	$ 7	12/5/2006	6 - 9 - 13   - 43 - 46 (45)   Megaplier 4X
0 of 5 + BB	$ 2	12/5/2006	6 - 9 - 13 - 43 - 46 (45)   Megaplier 4X

 

So we won $9.00 x 4 = $36.00.  Now, the clerk at Kroger must of missed added because she rang up my wins as $44.  That figure seem strange to me, and then she got the calculator and re-added my wins and came up with $36.00.  So I couldn’t wait to get home and see if she did it right.

I did not buy us any more tickets right now, I thought I would wait until closer the end of the game, when the Jack Pot is higher.

The Mega Millions jackpot for the drawing on Friday, December 8th, 2006 is: $15 million ($9 million cash option)

I get my Cash Option from www.ohiolottery.com.  They tend to have the most accurate.  The Cash Option for Tuesday’s drawing is:

$9,041,595.00

This game has 51 members, but I sold 64 shares ($640.00 in tickets) so I will divide Cash Option by 64 to get our payout.  Please remember this figure is before any attorney fees, taxes or tithes.
