Finally! I knew the str version of 254 would come out soon - hurray for the double draw! Shoot - its been since around new years and the other faves came str and then bx since. I had wheeled my three faves 254 374 and 503 once, but lately I had been str 10x on 254 555 888 and sometimes ( not this time ) 222 and 777.
I went to one of my least favorite spots tonight since my favorite closes early on Sundays, and I was right up against the deadline too, which seems to be my OCD. They usually have a dude at the register/terminal, but he often gets subbed by a dude that knows less about keying in numbers then I do! Wouldn't you know they had to change out the ticket roll? And taking their time about it! I got in a 10x str bet on 254 just in the nick of time - it cut off on the next bet - that 779 double I've also been riding.
It couldn't have come at a better time! Wish I could enjoy it but the gas and electric, insurance, and a crop of other bills are barking at my door. I think I have to admit I may have a problem when I find myself considering a potential hit as part of the projected income expected to pay a bill down the line.
I also have to get off this favorite number thing - its against the calculations that many of you make most of the time, and though this hit is nice, I spent far too much to get here. I need to first reduce the $$ lay out per draw, give up on playing two states, ban myself from the scratchers, and leave a buck or two for the Jersey Cash 5 when the pot goes above 200K.
