  Simple. It was in the script, part of what they got paid for.

   Yeah, they get paid extra to go back to the trailer park.

  I once played a role like that for Publishers Clearing House. They paid me $100 to open up a door at a "staged" house, and look real surprised.

    Thats kinda like Repo shows where actors scream and yell about the car getting repo-ed.

    I'm sure they didn't want people beating down the front door of your real house, looking for handouts after your big

     win.        

    Btw, did you get any more "acting" gigs from it?

  

  Before you play there are 2 choices to make. Low sum or high sum and consecutive pair or no consecutive pair. Choose correctly and you go from 120 combos down to 30. Not a bad starting point.

  Extreme home maker filmed about a mile down the road a few years back.   You made me laugh again after watching that poor family run out the front door acting surprised several times.  (Until they got it right!)

   Funny you should say that! Actually for several years (in real life) I had an agent in Boston, and did dozens of TV commercials, infomercials,

  and bit parts in movies such as "Glory" (1989). I was a spokes person for a hair replacement company based in NH called New England Associates,

  and Together dating service.     Also had several small parts in an old Boston based P.I. series "Spencer for Hire"

   

  It was a blast, enjoyed all the "Cattle Call" auditions, met some real interesting people.    Morgan Freeman, Matthew Broderick and Robert Urich.

   

  It paid great money, but as the old saying goes, don't quit your day job!     

   

  And no, Publishers Clearing House never has called me back for other gigs.

  Thanks Ronnie! It certainly helps to be a "ham", which I've always been since grade school.

   

  Funny thing is, I'm actually watching the movie Glory as we speak on AMC. There was a commercial break, thought I'd check LP for any interesting

  updates.

   

  Back to my , happy 4th!

  It is interesting that the Illinois Lottery zooms in on the tv drawings so you only see the number come up at the top. They do not show the entire machines for the Pick 3 and Pick 4 games. They show the entire machines for the Lotto and Little Lotto (now called Lucky Day) but then zoom in once the numbers start coming out. Conspiracy?

  CONSPIRACY! Just like all the crooked politicians in that state.

  "The rumor is that to play the GA Lottery each player will have to provide their personal info - name, address, etc., before they will be able to play.   A "debit" type card has also been mentioned."

  Apparently no comment from the GA Lottery Commission. Someone must have leaked this "rumor" from within internal ranks.

  Wonder if this is the next step for a more proactive lottery system, to head off any attempt of players to remain anonymous?
