well i waited to get my next set of powerball tickets from kansas. it is for the same amount of drawings but i waited until sunday so i could extend it just that much longer into november. i drove the 12 miles from the hotel to leavenworth kansas and got me a multi draw ticket. so i am a happy camper i don't have to go to oregon until then. woohoo.

the cool thing about playing in kansas was that they were doing a promotion for the powerplay. since i always do the powerplay i got the promotion. it was for a second chance drawing for a 10,000 top prize for visa debit card. i know i can use that card if i win. i promptly filled out the paperwork and mailed it from the hotel. so my fingers are crossed.

i was thinking about going to iowa to get me a hot lotto ticket. i have not played hot lotto since i was in west virginia some years ago. so i was pining to go to the great state of iowa to get the ticket. i almost went. i went to the web page for the minnesota lottery and found out that they now offer the hot lotto ticket there too. so if i play my cards right and they have not closed that kiosk in the food area. i will be able to purcahse me a hot lotto ticket there on my way back to washington.

i just checked my oregon powerball ticket and it is a dud. i printed the numbers out for the oregon megabucks and i will see if i am winner back in the room. i hope it is a winner. i can use 20 dollars to get to my goal.
