I'm posting this early because I've gotta work today (1st Friday I've had to work since I started -- and I dread tonight).

Saturday:

On my birthday, I went to Outback Steakhouse.  It was pretty good.  After I ate, I went to that shopping center where the Goodwill, K-Mart, and that tobacco mart are located.  Unfortunately, that tobacco mart was closed.....so I went to the K-Mart to slow play some tickets.  Unfortunately.....they didn't have much of a selection, so I didn't do much slowplaying.  Here's what I hit:

$3 ($2 + $1) and $5 ("star" $1) on a couple of $1 5-Star

Free ticket on $2 $50,000 Bling

Free ticket and $3 ($3) on a couple of $1 League Night

$2 ($2), $3 ($3), a free ticket, and $4 (4 x $1 via 21 "win all") on 4 $1 Super Blackjack (with a couple of duds in between all those)

After that, I still had a couple of winners (the $4 and free ticket from the $1 Super Blackjack tickets).  I stopped by a store on the way back home and got a $5 $500,000 Player's Club.  I wound up hitting $15 ("5X" $3) on it.  I wound up breaking even overall that night.

Thursday:

I did my lotto run yesterday since I have to work today.  I took that $15 winner and bought 2 $5 $500,000 Player's Club, a $1 Spooky Loot, a straight/box quick pick on Cash 4 (once again, to see if I could snag an instant $15 winner....once again with no luck), and used my last 3 GA Lottery Player's Club coupons I had for Mega Millions.  I wound up with a free ticket on the Spooky Loot.  On the 1st $500,000 Player's Club ticket, I hit $20 ($20) (2nd was a dud).

The (possibly temporary, depending on if I win anything on my Mega Millions tickets) KACHING Meter for September 26, 2008:  6.0

As I said......I dread working tonight.  Friday is generally very busy.  We'll see if I keep my sanity after tonight.

Until next time, may all your tickets snag you a few bucks.
