Friday, October 14, 2005 11:04 pm - Mega Millions: The Friday, October 14, 2005 Mega Millions drawing has taken place, and the results are 6-20-24-25-34, and the Mega Ball is 44.

Saturday, October 15, 2005 2:01 am - Mega Millions: There was no jackpot winner in the Friday Mega Millions drawing, but 2 lucky players matched the first 5 numbers for a $250,000 prize: 2 from Georgia.

We won a Total of Six Dollars!

1 of 5 + BB	$ 3	10/14/2005	6 - 20 - 24 - 25 - 34 (44) Megaplier 3X
1 of 5 + BB	$ 3	10/14/2005	6 - 20 - 24 - 25 - 34 (44) Megaplier 3X

 

This group still has $3.00; I’ve not purchased any tickets. So with your current winnings of $6.00, your total now is $9.00.

The Mega Millions jackpot for the drawing on Tuesday,

October 18, 2005 is:

$90 million ($53 million cash option)

There are 30 shares issued in this game. If we are a winner on Tuesday Night each share would get:

$1,766,666.66

I spend your $9.00 for another Quick Pick Ticket. It’s copied at the end of this newsletter, or if you get e-mail as a separated attachment.

This means that you now have 26 tickets for each drawing until after the drawing on Tuesday, November 8^th, 2005. Then you will have one number until Tuesday November 15^th, 2005.

Now, I didn’t intentionally extend this game. I was at Kroger and had a lot to do, plus catch the next bus home. I thought we had only won $4.00, so was surprised we had won $6.00. By the way, if we had won this on our Megaply tickets we would have won $18.00! But so far our Megaply Ticket has won zero dollars!

So now, with any winnings I will buy tickets up to November 15^th, 2005.

As of right now, I have no new members for Game 20, and I’ve not issued any flyers for this game. So, I can hold off Game 20 until after the 15^th, if you all want.

Of course, by the time you e-mail me, or tell me what you want to do, things could change. The Lottery could double, or I could get a slew of new members. So right now I will leave the tentative start date for Game 20, alone.

 

 

Mega Million Lottery Pool Game #20

(Tentative Start Date: Tuesday 11/07/2005)

This game we will be megaplying! The cost is $20.00 per share.

 

The Powerball jackpot for the drawing on Saturday, October 15, 2005 is: $290 million ($141.9 million cash option). I wish that I had a way of buying Powerball tickets for you all. I know my Die-Hard Group would love to have Powerball tickets. I understand that Oklahoma is joining Powerball either in December of this year of January of the next year.

 

Choose wisely. (Political)

 

A powerful senator dies after a prolonged illness. His soul arrives in heaven and is met by St. Peter at the entrance.

 

"Welcome to Heaven," says St. Peter. "Before you settle in, it seems there is a problem. We seldom see a high official around these parts, you see, so we're not sure what to do with you."

 

"No problem, just let me in," says the guy.

 

"Well, I'd like to but I have orders from higher up. What we'll do is have you spend one day in Hell and one in Heaven. Then you can choose where to spend eternity."

 

"Really, I've made up my mind. I want to be in heaven," says the senator. "I'm sorry but we have our rules."

 

And with that, St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to Hell. The doors open and he finds himself in the middle of a green golf course. In the distance is a club and standing in front of it are all his friends and other politicians who had worked with him, everyone is very happy and in evening attire. They run to greet him, hug him, and reminisce about the good times they had while getting rich at the expense of the people. They play a friendly game of golf and then dine on lobster and caviar.

 

Also present is the Devil, who really is a very friendly guy who has a good time dancing and telling jokes. They are having such a good time that before he realizes it, it is time to go. Everyone gives him a big hug and waves while the elevator rises.

 

The elevator goes up, up, up and the door reopens on Heaven where St. Peter is waiting for him. "Now it's time to visit Heaven."

 

So 24 hours pass with the head of state joining a group of contented souls moving from cloud to cloud, playing the harp and singing. They have a good time and, before he realizes it, the 24 hours have gone by and St. Peter returns.

 

"Well then, you've spent a day in Hell and another in Heaven. Now choose your eternity."

 

He reflects for a minute, then the senator answers, "Well, I would never have said it, I mean Heaven has been delightful, but I think I would be better off in Hell."

 

So St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to Hell.

 

Now the doors of the elevator open and he is in the middle of a barren land covered with waste and garbage. He sees all his friends, dressed in rags, picking up the trash and putting it in black bags. The Devil comes over to him and lays his arm on his neck. "I don't understand," stammers the senator.

 

"Yesterday I was here and there was a golf course and club and we ate lobster and caviar and danced and had a great time. Now all there is, a wasteland full of garbage and my friends look miserable.

 

The Devil looks at him, smiles and says, "Yesterday we were campaigning...Today you voted for us!"
