The slope stat has stabilized

It’s always fun watching the blog stats on this blog just sky rocket when huge drawings are about. Most recently was the Michigan Millionaire Raffle drawing that gave out millions in prizes. The spike went up to near 800 this time, which I’d say is a record for a Michigan Raffle , but not the record. The record would have to be back early 2007 when the Mega Millions jackpot hit 345 million

Busiest day: 1,634 — Wednesday, March 7, 2007

According to my records the biggest hit. So now I see the graphs as the slope heads back down to its average 170-250. What causes all this? I’d say just pure randomness, since I rarely get comments. When I do, it’s 20% good comments, 5% cocky comments and 75% that are just people complaining that I don’t know what I’m talking about since I didn’t win the lottery. Those are usually the harsh comments that aren’t spelled out correctly and last 1 sentence and I can usually smell the halitosis from this side of the computer. The ones claiming they won the lottery and type like that, make me wonder…If you just won millions of dollars, is there really a lack of things to do besides search out lottery blogs and type like a 3rd grader on crack? So those get spammed right away. That and to date, over 80k spam comments have been blocked. There is probably 1 or 2 spam comments I let by, just for the fact they had sites associated with the lottery. Do I approve of them? Well they aren’t scams as far as I know.

Will Michigan ditch the Super Raffle?

So I’m sitting here after spending 40 bucks on the Raffle….when will the next raffle come out? I’m curious how it will work out since it rotates Millionaire Raffle then Super Raffle. Will Michigan finally ditch the Super Raffle?
The reason I’m thinking this is that not only did it have very bad sale records, but they had to extend the drawing date an extra week plus because of low sales. For 50 bucks a ticket, I’m not sure whether or not that’d be a great idea to do. Will I buy a ticket buy a ticket? Of course, I always buy the latest and greatest ticket available! I have been lacking in scratch and win tickets, or should I say, Scratch and Lose tickets because there is no hope like there is with the mega millions and the like. You buy it, you get it, you lose. All within a few seconds.

A Saturday of Luck? Not really

Just having a new born baby I thought I’d have some luck in playing the lottery. Well I played the Classic, Mega and the Daily 3 with a day off the numbers since the lady didn’t hear me well. I’m thinking that’s what caused the unluckiness, but neither of the numbers showed up. I’m still crossing my fingers for tomorrows supposed Raffle draw though. I have two tickets just dying to win!

Two of my latest projects I been tinkering with is playing every single possible combination of the daily 3 over the course of 1000 days. A long daunting project that is not only time consuming but will be more of a better way to put a book together me thinks. What happened to the Project Lottery Life book? Well of course there was dead time in between posts here and there and nobody bought into the idea. I will however be putting together the blog posts of that year and making an e book out of them when I get a chance.

The next project I’ve been working on as of late is playing the Fantasy 5 for a month straight everyday to see the odds on that, something like the original Project Lottery Life with the Mega Millions except I’ll do better book keeping.

Why wasn’t there a big event on me doing that project? Well every time I got a ticket I wrote down the numbers, however I didn’t keep the ticket and it just turned out not feeling right since I really didn’t have any concrete proof that I played it every time. However I will be making a post on the results of it shortly.

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.

More Lottery talkage

I finally cashed in those Fantasy 5 tickets today to get some more Fantasy 5 tickets along with a Classic Lotto ticket. Will I win the big one tonight? I dunno, I just might. I’m still waiting on the Michigan Raffle that only has 75k tickets left to go! Get buying those tickets people otherwise they’ll cut it off completely. Would that be a good thing? If I personally don’t win anything, I would think it’s a good thing. If they still kept it around however, I’d still chip in my money to get it when it comes out.

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!

The NEW Michigan Millionaire Raffle on sale

That’s right folks ! The latest raffle is on sale right now! Whats better then a $20 chance to win a million bucks? Well multiple reasons now! With the new raffle here’s what to expect, straight from www.michigan.gov/lottery

The Lottery’s Millionaire Raffle is back!  A limited number of tickets, only 600,000, will be sold at all Lottery terminals across Michigan beginning May 5, 2008.  Each ticket sold will contain a unique six-digit number from 000001 to 600000.  In a single drawing scheduled for no earlier than June 23, 2008, 6,018 raffle tickets will be randomly selected to win the following great prizes:

Overall: 1:100

That’s the just of it! A great chance to win at least a 100 bucks!! Well not a great chance, but hey! The more the merrier. I picked up the discounted ticket for a mere 18 bucks which led way to an unexpected 2 bucks to play towards the classic and mega millions! This thing keeps on giving! OF course I got the fantasy 5 since I had the extra 2 bucks.

GET YOURS NOW!

4 people win the 330 Million Mega Millions jackpot!

It was tough to see people win the jackpot, especially after 4 different people won it. I am a little shocked to read a report of it on abc news website via yahoo.  Entitled ” $330 Million dollar jackpot split not so mega”, the story goes on to say how the winners will be depressed because they can’t buy 100+ million dollar houses or 90 some million dollar gulf stream’s or near 100 mill worth of art. After taxes each person is entitled to a lump sum of 48.6 million dollars. I mean seriously what the fuck were they thinking? Are they assuming all jackpot winners are over spending assholes that blow their money like it was nothing?  The part that really got me was the suggestion that they at least have 35 million dollars to go to the moon and have 12 million left over. It’s sad to see a news site print this rubbish and assume all winners are morons with their money.

Here’s a news flash. Not 100% of the people that win the lottery are morons with their money. If someone is depressed they only won  48.6 million dollars, then odds are money isn’t what makes them happy. The things that could be done with 48.6 million dollars is incredible!! Anybody in their right mind that’s been working all their lives and are reasonalble people will think even a quarter of that is a God send and will be happy for every last dime! I’m still excited as hell to win anything! I may have only won 3 bucks from that lottery but I’d be happy if I broke even. The old saying goes, If someone gave you 10 dollars and your friend next to you 100 bucks….would you be happy you got at least something or would you be pissed off someone got more then you?

ABC news seems to have stereotyped lottery winners as money hungry idiots that blow through there money like it was no tomorrow and go broke by the time they hit the 3rd year. Has it happened? Of course it has! There’s been documentaries about this kind of thing that look through the lives of people. Well another news flash, every last person in those documentaries are not the only people who have won jackpots. Basing your opinions off a documentary with the bad part of the lottery is just ignorant. I hope ABC news has future lottery stories that aren’t ignorant. After all, they are professionals!
