I started the Mega Million Lottery Pool Game 15. We have been playing for 16 months now. Game 15 is my biggest ever; I have 27 people playing with me.

Since I had $270.00 to play with, and since I could only do 8 draws, not 10. (You know California comes on board June 22^nd, 2005) Our tickets are good from Friday May 27^th, 2005 thru Tuesday June 21^st, 2005. I had enough cash to play the entire even bonus balls. With the little I had left over, I purchase some odd bonus balls. I used both Quick Pick and use some of the numbers from previous games.

Last night my group netted $13.00. I was at work today and passed out my newsletter to those members that were at work today. I’ll be buying some more tickets tomorrow. I figured that if my group should be so lucky as to win, we each would get $2,074,074.07 per person. As I remind them every week: “This is before any attorney fee’s, taxes or tithes.”

I’m off Sunday, Monday and Tuesday (Memorial Day weekend), so I can do that tomorrow. I started their update already.

Besides this game, I run a small pool, called Die Hard Multi-Lottery Pool. This was is run a little different. I keep the same members and each pays $10 per month. We play Cash Five, Texas Two-Step, and Lotto Texas.

We are on GAME II right now. This is a hard one to get into, because someone has to drop out before I allow anyone else in. Tonight all we have left is Lotto Texas. If we do not win, then tomorrow I will be buying new tickets for them. GAME III now has 11 members.

Good luck to all of you out there in Lottery Land.
