So now that I’ve got everything squared away with the first post about the idea and direction I want to go through, now on to the lottery stuff.
I’m still kinda bummed from the last drawing in which I won nothing. It would of been great to get a piece of that jackpot. So far I haven’t won a single thing in the MMM and I’ve spent a total of $5 bucks this year, I missed a day or 2, but that shouldn’t ruin anything in the project. Things had to be sacrificed. It’s not Friday yet, but sometimes I like to get my tickets a day or so early. Is there a trend to this? The last person to win 300+ million here in Michigan was said to buy her ticket at the last possible minute in a gas station. Is that the right way for me? Seeing as how the final time to buy a ticket is 10:44 pm on a Tuesday or Friday means I’ll have to be late. Forget having to go out in this sub-zero January weather. Maybe I’ll go out in a summer night, but not in the cold. I did stop off to score a KFC Ultimate Cheese Snacker which is a great choice for only a buck and then I decided to just get my ticket today. My baby boy is due any day now and my crazy addiction wants to get the ticket just in case I’m in the labor room waiting for my little son Chase to be born.
Isn’t that something? I’m addicted enough to be worried about missing out a chance of a lottery winning when my g/f is about to have my child. But don’t slam me yet, I’ll worry but I’m not addicted enough to leave her side during labor to pick up a ticket. That’s just pathetic and sad if I did so I’m just happy I have my ticket now. Got it at the 7 Eleven gas station near the airport on the corner of Northline and Eureka. Great place for slurpees and the employees there are always friendly compared to a few other places that give customers the stink eye. I hate those places, but at least they sell the tickets to feed my addiction. You think with the profits that the store owners get, they’d try to push the lottery just a little more. Maybe a sign advertising it out at the gas pumps or something like they do for the foods inside. They aren’t personally getting money , but the odds of them getting it raise with each ticket!
Sitting here with me is my hopeful winning lottery ticket and a scratch and win ticket that’s worth 5 bucks that i’ve yet to cash in after a month. I have until January 2008 so I’ll keep on to it until I need it….or just remember to cash it in. It’s the Cashword Scratch and win that has a film on top of a grid of letters via crossword. At the bottom is a collection of 18 letters that you scratch off to hopefully reveal a full word. The more words you get, the bigger payout. This gives me a little motivation to try scratch and wins more. I have a plan to spend $20 bucks one day on $1 scratch and win tickets and see how much the payout is total. I’ll make sure to post that up here some day when I get around to actually scrapping up 20 bucks to blow on scratch and wins. That’ll be all for today until my next Lottery experience.
