Two groups of 10 draws, each hitting $6 on 3 separate 1+1 events. This last stretch brings the total number of draws to 26, matching the window, and the net loss to -$196

This exact scenario is why it HAD to be played on house money... out of pocket was $0

There are still 6 draws remaining, but noticing a trend here, I did not do very well at choosing from the neutrals. Given how the pick 3 is now using the all neutral QP generator, it may be some time before there is another shot at the Cash 4 Life. 

There is still the option of making the standard deviation spread tighter. The budget minded system is still worth continuing, it was just more fun to play on house money.

Here is hoping for another hit to keep it that way for awhile longer...
