I planned on not playing lucky for life because I disagree with another $2 game in PA that has at it's core a lame prize... 3k per month is only 36k a year... AND that's before taxes...

but, thanks to my $9 hit on wednesday's PB and some mild salesmanship on the part of the guy who owns the store where I play 90% of the time (he said the instant wins would likely be higher on the first day of sales)... I ponied up $2 and got a QP... I told him one shot won't hurt, but I doubt I will make it a regular addition.

well, he pushed the button and the thing starts playing the PA lottery jingle, ticket says I win $10 instantly... well that's cool! so, I get my $2 back and $8 more... given the fact that I also played my pick for PB I intended to leave with $7 (left from the $9 win) and ended up leaving with $15 (enough to keep my PB system funded for 7 drawings)... and a ticket for each game. savor the small victories!

Since I don't plan on playing L4L ever again, I can honestly say I beat that game ;-)
