I spent $25 on Holiday Gifts at three different stores, and I won $40 on those. At one store, 008 lost and 007 won a free ticket. In another book, ticket 031 won $10. At another store, lucky number 039 won $10, and I call it lucky because it is half way between 026 (which I won $150) and 052 (which I won $40). The $40 and $150 are my two highest winners in that game. I won $20 on ticket 052 from another store. I have won $20 twice on that number, $40 another time, and lost on one, so that averages out to $20 every time I play 052 on Holiday Gifts.
I lost on Giant Jumbo Bucks 011 at one store, and won a free ticket on 024 at another. I won $20 on Jingle Jumbo Bucks #003, and a whopping $3 on the $2 ticket Betty Boop Holiday Surprise. I spent $50 and won $68, so I made a nice little profit of $18. Not enough to go bragging about, but a decent end to the week. It looks like I will have made an overall profit of $133 this week. Not too wonderful when you realize that you had a $150 and a $100 winner this week, but you have to spend money to make it. I am not complaining. I thank God every time I win, and pray for more winners.
Most of you folks up north are not too excited by snow, but some of us down here in the deep south are. I wish this rain would end, and the snow would hurry up and get here. I like to dream big, but it does not look to me like we will see much snow here at all. If there is any accumulation, it will probably be less than an inch. We are looking at much colder than normal temperatures than average for the next two weeks, with near normal precipitation. The nice thing about active times like this is that we might also see some more wintery weather near the end of the week, and then the week after. Perhaps we will see a white Christmas.
