A new beginning coming

With the Raffle drawing around the corner on Monday a thought came to mind. If bought far apart, could one person possibly win 2 of the million dollar prizes? The odds for it happening are so far and out there it’s about as likely as winning the actual mega millions. However, I bought my tickets so far apart that it seems that I may have a chance. A very very slim chance, but a chance nonetheless. Will I win? Odds are against me, I’ve bought tickets far apart before and won absolutely NOTHING. I’ve also had people email me as well as comment on this blog saying they played the actual odds of winning and STILL won nothing. That right there just kinda cheese me off, since the odds aren’t there and are of course wrong. But its the closest way to determined what actually can be won. I’m hoping for at least 100 bucks after laying down 38 bucks for the tickets. If I win anything more then that, I’ll be on cloud 9.

New Blog Logo

This place finally got an upgrade with it’s own personal logo!

The good man himself Cliff Nowicki over at www.cliffnowicki.com created a personal logo to by pass all the plain jane stuff that we have right now. Sound familiar? Well it’s me of course, and I felt that this place needed a quick something to distinguish itself. I’ve had it sitting around for months before I realized that it was finally time to put it up on the site.

I’ve also been trying some other money making ideas, but have yet to figure it out with all that stuff. I’ll be making a book/dvd page and go through the amazon area and hopefully if your into buying lottery stuff you can do it through there and I can get a little commission on that. I’ll announce that as soon as it becomes available so you can get your hands on some cool lottery stuff that you may not have known.

Friday the 13th. Lucky Lotto Day?

The answer to that question is a big fat no. A co-worker suggested today that I buy 13 lottery tickets upon hearing that Friday the 13th is a lucky day for me. As an avid lotto player, I jumped at the chance. I decided to try my luck at a few other tickets as well. What was the total of ticket buyage?
13 x Mega Millions
1 x Classic Lotto
1 x Fantasy 5
1 x Daily 3
1 x Michigan Raffle

I just had to buy a 2nd Raffle ticket with big hopes that my lucky day may pay off. Will it pay off? Only time will tell, but so far the tickets that game out with winning numbers are the mega millions, fantasy 5 and daily 3. A total of 15 bucks spent on those and a grand total of……$3 bucks!! YAY I can make u p for the classic, fantasy and daily. It was worth a shot, the tickets still waiting to be called out is tonights Classic Lotto and the Michigan Raffle. I have a good hope about that raffle ticket. At the end of the day I don’t feel as lucky but really hopeful about that Raffle ticket.

196 million dollar results!

I just needed to post to get back in the swing of posting. The latest  and greatest mega millions jackpot was 196 million and indeed somebody won it! Who won it? Nobody knows just quite yet. But if your looking to see if it’s you, here are the numbers:

06 11 39 46 47 26

Does that look like your ticket? If it is, head up to your state capital and claim it! Then bask in the glory of all that money!

Lately I been dreaming of some more lottery winnings and what I could do with that winning ticket. It seems that more and more hobbies are coming up that would be awesome to just dive into full fledge. Of course, current funds say otherwise. I’ll be waiting though with tons of ideas! I’ll begin a series of numbered ideas of what to do with the winnings, expect them soon!

The Milion dollar Raffle is still needing some tickets sold. There are still 320kish tickets left to be sold. That’s almost HALF WAY! For just 20 bucks YOU could be one of 6 to win a million bucks! Don’t let the 4000 $100 winning tickets fool you though. The odds are still high to win, but I’d say they are still worth trying. I’m sure trying!

Winning numbers

Winning numbers for the 250 Million prize:

Tue. 08/28/07

37 40 48 53 56 44

Next Drawing:
Fri. 08/31/07
Estimated Jackpot:
$325 million

 

As you can see, the next drawing will be worth 325 mill meaning nobody won that 250 mill prize! Isn’t that great? Still a great chance to win some big big money!

The curse is lifted!! Millionaire Raffle Tomorrow!

That’s right! Tuesdays lottery proved to be fruitful and positive for me for once in my life! Ok, calmed down and all cool now. I happened to match the MEGA ball and scored two bucks. Equaling out the dollar spent, I earned a dollar. I got that going for me right now, sweetness. Of course all the gas spent to get all the tickets I need pretty much squashes any TRUE earnings. But I’m in good spirits because of it!

The Michigan Millionaire Raffle is tomorrow night!! I’ll be online ready to tell the top numbers to show off all the goodness that I may win and or the pissed offness of what I lose. I spent $140 on the millionaire tickets so I’m hoping to get some kind of return on the whole thing. Even if it’s just a grand. If I lose, there goes a portion of my tax refund. It’s about time I go balls out and try something new with that raffle. God bless tax returns and everything stupid people buy with them. Does anybody ever really invest their tax return for a net gain profit? I’m not talking, investing in entertainment or fun or even collectibles to sell at a later date. I’m talking about a bank account,  a CD or maybe playing the stocks! Does anybody ever do that? I’ve yet to meet someone that has done that with their money. The closest I know of is myself and a few others who spend money on forms of gambling, me being the lottery. I have a good feeling about this one though!

Here’s the winners:

The Daily 3

I’m not quite sure what made me want to play the Daily 3, but I figured in my quest to learn more about the Michigan Lottery, I should play all of what I can and see how the results are! The enticing price of winning for only 50 cents I decided I had to try it at least once! I convinced my friend to go halves with me, a Quarter each, but no change availed and we split a $1 ticket. Needless to say, we lost. The expense along with the odds of winning are a lot better! So many options to play and so many ways to win. I’ll be playing every possible way to get more indepth knowledge of the whole thing. To let you readers know the better ways to play! For the lowest wager of 50 cents, I can see this being a new possible addiction or favorite to play.

I didn’t win the Mega Millions but I’m having higher hopes of winning the Michigan Millionaire Raffle! I can smell the million already. If not, I can already see me with a new house for the 100,000 prize. Nothing to fancy, but a great starter house to be out on my own with my g/f and little baby. I do have a few things I was thinking about. It’s the fact that I’m not on a winning streak. I’m $22 in the hole for Mega Millions and won nothing. I spent $41 bucks in scratch and wins and I’ve only won $9. It’s kind of a shot in the foot when you think about it, but I’m starting to think that the big money is in the higher priced tickets. I’ve noticed that I’ve never won anything this year on a $1 ticket to date. I’ve never gone as far as venturing to buy a $20 ticket anytime soon. Even though I’ve spent $140 on 7 $20 Millionaire raffle tickets but not a scratch and win. Maybe one day I’ll have my way and fish out a 20 spot. Not until I get a job though, 20 bucks is a lot to spend on a scratch and win. I can’t afford to be that addicted right now. But my first paycheck, I’ll search one out and see what happens!

Plans to stretch the profits

Instead of sitting up bright and early to spit out the numbers last night after the drawing, I decided to sit back and think what I might do with the money I would win. The thought of early retirement is always exciting and the thought of starting up franchises and my own business is also in the plans. What kind of business’s would I open? Well I’m not what you call a business expert but I have enough common sense skills to not have the entire thing tank. My first and foremost favorite fun franchise would be to open a Chipotle restaurant in a high populated college area. They just put one up in Ann Arbor and I’ve been there twice within the first week of opening already. It’s always packed and I find myself either having to stand to eat with other people or take it all to my car and eat it there. Outside wasn’t an option since there’s no tables or no room for tables it looks like but the weather was a bit to cold the second time around. I would of loved to sit out on a bench the first time when the sun was perfect 72 degrees and not a cold breeze in sight.

Back to the franchise’s! Ok, Chipotle might be the only franchise I’d do but maybe start my own restaurant gimmick that I think’s great but won’t go into detail because it’s that awesome! But another business venture I’d love to go into is some kind of ad agency. At heart I’m a graphic designer and would love to run an ad agency from the ground up. Seems to far fetched since I can’t even get work as a graphic designer so that dreams going to pretty much live down in the toilet. Can always dream though right? Maybe start a few publication ideas I been having swimming in my mind. Then the ultimate idea, the video game bar. Something like a Buffalo Wild Wings but you can sit down and play some console games. The idea has many flaws and what not but loving the whole daily tournament aspects of the place where every day there’s tournaments going on with cash prizes! Entry fees of cash will win cash, if you go there to buy some grub and snackage and play the tournament you get a gift card to come back again. It’s an idea in the running.

On to the lottery!! As always I played the Mega Millions but still haven’t quite won it yet. All I can think of is just buying a house a car and….after that my mind pretty much goes blank other then a big screen TV and lots of video games and video game parties. Just a whole mess of fun and hanging out the rest of my life. But then again that’s not really going to happen, but I can always dream. Like I said before, I didn’t win the lottery, close with 2 balls though! I’m slowly climbing up with numbers. Here are those numbers!

Scratch and Win Entertainment

Another day goes by and I say to myself. Why not me? I see all these people winning instant jackpots from scratch and wins and ask myself. Why not me? I buy multiple scratch and win tickets only to lose and feel bad about spending my money and ask my self. WHY ME?

It’s that little addiction I like to call the Scratch and Win Lottery ticket frenzy. It’s the guilty little pleasure people have sometimes when they walk into a party store for a drink and find yourself with an extra buck in change after your purchase. Maybe it’s when you go to get a quick snack at a gas station while your pumping gas into your vehicle. Or even if you grab an extra dollar out of your pocket when you go for your lottery ticket. Either way,there’s always that temptation to buy a scratch and win ticket for a quick fix and to possible earn a little more cash in your pocket. After all, the odds to win something for a dollar or two are a lot better then an actual lottery ticket. That’s when you pay for your scratch and win and hope you get something to win. Sometimes you scratch it in your car or maybe you scratch it when you get home. How about being that person that sits there at the cash register chatting with the clerk about how much your going to win all the while scratching away at the ticket with the free penny from the take a penny give a penny plate.

We’ve all seen those people right? The stack of tickets, scratching away when your in line waiting for the person in front while every bodies watching the same person scratch away. What’s he do with the tickets? Most likely he keeps buying more hoping to roll into the big one and leave the store and set up an appointment to collect his big winnings. Everybody has had the urge to do that, don’t lie. I’m not saying you would, I’m just saying that you’d love to win something on the tickets but you won’t spend a penny.

The other day I purchased about 5 of those Red Wings scratch and wins all together. Two of them gave me my money back and the other 3 lost. Good. I wanted to lose so I could send them in for an extra drawing to win the fantasy trip or TV. So today I’m handed 5 bucks especially for scratch and wins. Couldn’t spend it on anything else, so I go for the 2 for 1 ticket and 2 American Idol scratch and wins. All lost, but of course the American Idol one has the buy 3 non-winning tickets and get into a drawing for the finale or chance to win a 47″ screen TV. That meant of course I had to buy a 3rd American Idol ticket which I promptly did. For the first time in my life, I was that guy everybody see’s scratching a ticket while others are paying for their gas and looking to see if I was winning. Why you ask? Well I just needed 1 more losing ticket and worst case scenario, I get it. Best case scenario, I either earn my money back to buy another, or win a bigger pot and maybe fill up my tank of gas for the week! Well, I lost. I was happy. Now it’s on it’s way to the drawing for me to win a grand prize of a TV hopefully. I honestly don’t care enough to want to go to the finale since I’m not a fan of the show, but maybe I could sell it if I have no choice…..maybe buy some more scratch and wins.

But as always, I got my mega millions ticket for a chance to win 28 million!! Since I was given the money, but had to buy scratch and win tickets…i’m still going to technically put them on my money spent list for scratch and win tickets. Also on a totally unrelated note.. I picked up 3 Nintendo tooth brushes….old school.

Another one bites the dust

Another ticket bites the dust for last nights mega millions estimated at 19 million. The ups and downs of this? Of course the ups are always the raising of the jackpot!! To the tune of an estimated 28 million dollars! That’s a nice little spot of change wouldn’t you say? I gotta say, I had a good feeling about this small mega millions jackpot. Kind of like being an over night millionaire under the radar. I did happen to get 2 of the numbers in white balls, but they don’t count. Still excited since 2 numbers is about the highest I’ve gotten this year. It almost seems as if I’ll be going down deep and not earning any in the black, but only time will tell!!  I still need to package up my Detroit Red Wings Scratch and Wins and send those off to get some free swag and hopefully a big screen TV.
