Here's the lowdown of the winners from this week:

Saturday (at the tobacco mart):

Free ticket on $1 Spooky Cash

$25 ("5X" $3 + $10) on $5 $500,000 Player's Club

$10 (Jumbo $1 + 5 x $1) on $5 Giant Jumbo Bucks

$5 on $2 Loteria

Free ticket on $5 $250,000 Cash

Free ticket on $5 Red Hot Numbers

Overall on Saturday, it did wind up being a small loss.

Friday (again slowplaying at the tobacco mart):

Free ticket on $2 Cashword

$10 on $2 Loteria

Free ticket on $3 $75,000 Cashword

$15 ($10 + $5) on $10 Millionaire Mania

$15 (3 x $5) and $20 (4 x $5) on 2 $10 Cash Explosion

and while cashing in those Cash Explosion winners somewhere else, I got another one and hit another $15 winner (3 x $5).

Overall......a little profit.......which is better than losing.

The KACHING Meter for September 19, 2008:  13.1

Can't wait until my birthday tomorrow.  I'm gonna be eating out at Outback Steakhouse tomorrow.  That's some good stuff right there.

While I was out, I decided to buy random quick picks on Cash 4 to see if I could snag an instant $15 winner (during this promotion the GA Lottery is doing where you can win $15 when you buy a Cash 4 ticket).  I didn't hit anything though.  We'll see how I do tonight on my Cash 4 tickets, though.  I also used up a bunch of buy-one-get-one-free coupons for Fantasy 5, Cash 3, and Win For Life.  We'll see how those do tonight and tomorrow night.

Well, until next time, may all your tickets win you some goodies.
