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.

The Monday Morning Blues and Local man wins

Not so much the blues, but another weekend of not hitting the Mega OR the Class 47 here in Michigan. Not so much a bummer, but as I was rifling through some past tickets of last month that I never cashed in, I saw a winner! A Fantasy 5 ticket worth a buck. At least I got my money back on that one, not technically. I was out for hours yesterday with a stack of winning tickets just waiting to be cashed.

But some bright news, a local man in the Wayne County area won the previous big jackpot of 135 million dollars.  David Sneath of Livonia won the big one and according to michigan.gov, he celebrated his 60th birthday. Happy Birthday David and congrats on the big jackpot! He took the lump sum of 84million before taxes and I’m sure he’ll enjoy the rest of his life now. A stand up guy, he even gave his lottery playing friends a million bucks each to boot!

Its always good to see someone local win the Mega Millions here in Michigan, makes me feel like I still do have a chance. That and it lets me know what stores to not play my winners at, since I’ve yet to see a store produce more then 1 super jackpot winner…or just a jackpot winner at all!

Michigan Mega Million Adventures!

A little overboard maybe, but between me and my girlfriend we have 24 chances to win the mega millions. Does that many chances make a difference? Maybe….maybe not. We started out the journey just cruising around talking about it as I usually swing the conversation and then it hit her. The big 330 million dollar sign of the mega millions on the highway. Right then she told me she wanted to go in on it and BIG. We both wanted 20 each but then settled for 10, me having only 15 bucks and her only having a 20. Fair is fair and we wanted to make sure we both split it evenly down the middle and nobody had an extra ticket chance to their name. We drove down to the local party store Zmart and made our big bets there for 20 chances. It didn’t stop there though. The next day as I was getting gas after I picked her up from school, she decided to disappear and reappear with 2 lottery tickets…..a sobe and some dorito’s. That upped it to 22 chances.

At this point she had some leverage on me but insisted that everything is split down the middle. I believe her, but I just wouldn’t feel right knowing she bought more tickets then I did for the contribution. Later that day I wanted to show her these huge houses I seen last time me and my friend bought lottery tickets. Last time the jackpot hit over 300 million, me my friend and his g/f all went about 20 miles to the edge of Ann Arbor. Maybe not the edge, but we all agreed to drive 10 minutes west from the highway and stop at the next available lottery retailer that wasn’t a gas station. After that we drove another 10 minutes and came upon this small area of 3 story houses that were just astonishing. I wanted to show her for so long but the first time there was construction. However yesterday there was not only construction, but thee weirdest craziest signs and directions I’ve seen. Are they common? Somewhere perhaps, but nothing I’ve ever seen. So we had to head back home disappointed. Of course we made a stop at Chipotle for some guac and chips and some burrito goodness. If your in Ann Arbor off of 23 and Washtenaw anywhere, it’s a must go!

We headed for a fillup at Meijer gas station. Sure I filled up earlier, but only a gallon or 2. Enough to get me to Meijer so I can use the 50 cents off per gallon coupon. It’s a godsend!! Only 10 gallons, but hey 5 bucks saved there!! That went straight to the lottery fund though from earlier. While I was pumping gas, she waved a dollar bill out and said one more, one more! Am I in love with this girl or what? So I went to pay and put a dollar of my own into a 2 pick ticket for the mega millions. She’s officially bought 2 more tickets then me to date and I have 12 hours to come up with 2 of my own to make it feel fair.

The big jackpot for tonight’s drawing is an estimated: $330 million.

A nice little post from the Michigan website that is finally cracking down and letting people know some of what they’ll win:

“If a player wins Friday’s $330 million jackpot and chooses the annuity payment option, he or she will receive a whopping $12.7 million per year for 26 years, less taxes! That breaks down to $1,057,692 per month; $244,083 per week; $34,773 per day; and $4,347 per day for an eight-hour day!

If a winner prefers the prize in one payment, the amount is $194.4 million, less taxes.”
I know I’ll go with the down payment but at the same time I always wonder about the payments. Then again I might wake up one day and get hit by a bus during a morning bike ride or jog. Life’s to short to worry about money after you’ve won the lottery. If you act like a complete spend thrift with it then I can see that the payments would be a lot more better for you. I don’t need all those lavish dinners and things. Just get me a huge house and stock it full of the best video games and entertainment equipment and I’m set for life.

I wish everybody the best of luck!

Mega Millions Lucky 7 day!

Being a blogger about the lottery, everybody knew there had to be a blog about today. The luckiest of days to most. Although it’s techncially 7707, 772007 the world see’s no zero’s and sees the numbers 777. The number that has been associated with a slot machines big jackpot payout. So how do you take part in the luckiest day on earth? Buy a lottery ticket!!  Hell buy 3 and some scratch and wins while your at it. The Michigan millionaire raffle is still selling as a matter of fact for 20 bucks. Picked up a ticket for my girlfriend today and was in the 540k’s That’s less then 60k tickets at about 7:30 this morning. If you think the lucky raffle ticket is still out there then you better buy it now!!

In the end, the only thing lucky about the number 7 is for anybody who actually wins anything. If you don’t win then you don’t believe it’s lucky after all. If you do win something, then the power of the triple 7 is lucky and you’ll be one of a few that goes around letting people know they won. On the inside, I know I already won. Not money, just at life in general.

The entire population that buys a lottery ticket feeling lucky and hopeful about winning something will feel exactly how I feel every single time I put down money. I feel lucky. I feel hopeful. I feel like the world’s mine. At least a few people will experience that and if you personally do, you’ll know for a split second how I feel about the lottery

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:

Hello Future Millionaires

The Michigan Millionaire Raffle is just days away this week!!

There’s only a few days left to wait. Obviously all tickets were sold a long long time ago, 6 days after it started. So that means the only thing we have left to do is wait around to win our profits, correct? Correct! Over  900 people will come out thousanaires at least this Friday and I plan on being one of the millionaires…or HundredThousandaires. I already have a nice little to-buy list of what I’m going to do with the money if I win the millions.

1.) Buy House

2.) Buy Big Screen TV

3.) Buy Girlfriend car

4.) Buy Adobe Master Collection

5.) Pay off car

6.) Invest 80% of whatever is left over

The main thing missing here of course is a new car for me. Why not a new car for myself? Well a million dollars isn’t going to last me forever right? My car won’t either, however I don’t need a new car right away. My car currently runs fine and I’ll probably keep it around until it hits the bricks. Even then I’ll hold onto it for a while and try to play Mr. Fix it. Why? I feel a certain love to that car of course! Sure it’s a 03 saturn ion with manual trans, and no power windows with 71k miles on it, but I think i’ll have to be THAT cheap to save some moneyage. If all else fails, i’ll break down and buy me an Impala to tide me over.

What will happen if I do win it and all my friends pick up that I did? Easy, won’t give them a dime. I’m sure they’ll come out of the woodworks to ask for a couple bucks here and there or ask to go to dinner only to expect me to pay. Not happening. If I don’t hang out with them right now, then I don’t plan on hanging out with them after I win the money. Rude? No. Why should I hang out with somebody who doesn’t want to hang out now, then all of a sudden i’m their best friend when I get money. Not happening! They can all just stop in their tracks and forget about contacting me at all. I’ve gone through life without them talking to me, and I’m sure with all this money I can keep going through life without them. That doesn’t include people I talk to on a regular basis online though. I just wont’ give them money!

 It’s been a long 2 weeks since I been applying for jobs here, there and everywhere to make that dolla! I’ll make it soon enough though. But in that absence I havent been keeping up to date with you people! I’ve gotten 1 scratch and win in that time! Go me! I haven’t been abusing the money. I don’t have the numbers but i’ll be right on top of it tomorrow night when they draw the lucky mega million numbers. Once again I apologize to everybody who uses this blog as a source of their lotto numbers.

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!

Late Night Jackpot

Why is it a late night jackpot? Well because I’m up at 2:30 in the morning pondering how life is and thought I’d come on and share the numbers with all you late night google/aol/yahoo searching fiends. Nobody won the jackpot, that much can be said right now, but the good news is that it went up another 7 million dollars to an estimated 19 million! It’s starting that slow climb back up the hill to another record breaking jackpot. Maybe it’ll break the 400 mill marker this time? Only time can tell!! This I do know though. I won absolutely nothing. Nadda. No numbers or mega balls at all to my name. Its sad when I was just as excited to win 12 mill as I was at a chance to win 390 mill. So without further talking, here are the numbers as promised!
