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.

New Blog Logo

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

The good man himself Cliff Nowicki over at http://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.

More Money

So I checked my Fantasy 5 ticket again today….and I won a dollar!! YAY, I continue to make my money back time after time. Lucky? I think so. Great luck? Not really, I’m happy with winning my money back. Maybe its the trend that I cash in my ticket to buy another one and it NEEDS to win at least 1.

OF course I got the fantasy 5 since I had the extra 2 bucks.

GET YOURS NOW!

Finding random un-checked tickets

It’s always a pleasant surprise when your looking around for junk or cleaning up around your desk or closet and find that lottery ticket that you totally forgot to check. Whether it was because you placed it there for later because you bought it way early, or things fell and temporarily buried it. It’s always fun to remember a ticket that COULD be a winner. Usually if yoru like me, you have a system to make sure you didn’t already check the ticket. For me, I cross a diagonal line down the middle for losers, and I put the dollar amount down I won for the tickets that I got something. Then there’s the circles of numbers to indicate I got those numbers…which are scattered on losers and winners. But today I found about 4 tickets scattered on my desk that had no markings whatsoever. SCORE!! This means another chance to win!

Since I’m constant on what the jackpots are for every ticket I buy, I know that I didn’t win the big one. However, there are the small pots that could be worth up to $250,000 that I would never know about. Alas, none of these tickets were winners today. I still look back at the times I found tickets laying around that I got money off of and how future one’s could be the big winners. Hopefully in the future, they don’t get misplaced and I’ll know sooner then later.

Super Raffle Part 2

God bless those people at the lottery commission for coming up with the next Raffle game. The next raffle game will be the 2nd Super Raffle. In which the tickets cost 50 bucks and the odds to win are the best! From michigan.gov/lottery

“The Super Raffle, which is the fifth Raffle game offered by the Lottery, offers odds of 1 in 125,000 of winning $2 million. Odds of winning $100,000 are 1 in 10,000 and of winning $500, 1 in 56.”

Its coming people!! Grab your 50 spots and hundies and go down to your gas station or wherever you buy your stuff and pick up a ticket!! The first super raffle sold out in a matter of 3 days so dont’ take this lightly. The tickets will be on sale starting September 17th and the drawing will be October 22nd or 10 days within the sale of the last ticket. It’s good to see that the quick draw date is going to continue. Having to wait between purchase of the ticket and drawing was ridiculous!

I’ll be in line to get my 50 dollar ticket the second they start selling them at 6am. You there? I’ll be there.

Millionaire Raffle Drawing Results! July 11th, 2007

It’s about time they drew the winning numbers after selling out. However, I was unfortunate to win anything out of a total of 3 possible tickets. Not even close, well maybe a dozen or so numbers. That’s hardly close. However I did have a fun time thinking of what to do with the so called money i would of won. I did play some scratch and wins today though. The WinSum and Fat 50’s tickets. Losers on all rounds, but the Fat 50’s promise 15,000 prizes of 50 bucks. I’ll be playing some more of that later to see if I can make anything out of it.

Tuesdays Mega Millions yielded no winners. I got 2 numbers off that drawing but that’s about it. No mega balls so there’s really no payout for that. It’s all fun though and it was great and exciting to play the Millionaire Raffle again. I’ll no doubt be playing the next one if there is one. They may have to rethink it through after taking twice as long to sell out tickets.

Nobody won so the new pot is 17 million!

I’d like to thank all you raffle ticket buyers out there who played the game to help Michigan be more encouraged to keep the Raffle game going…hopefully. And a big congrats to all you lucky winners big and small.

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

10 bucks is the limit!

Whats up with the cable going down?  Comcast is turning out to be not so reliable and there is no other faster service. Reliable? Maybe, but not faster. Take the best with the worst I guess.

I was at work today and to pass the time during my hour lunch, I went to get gas and throw down some cashage on the Super 7s Bingo. Two bucks, got two for 4 bucks. Was it worth it? The fun factor was there for sure, defiantly. The payback wasn’t to be seen. It’s all in the fun though with scratch and wins since it’s about a 1 in 6 shot you’ll even get your money back. Lesson learned? Can’t say that it is and here’s why. I go back to my theory on the budget. Some people go out and spend a couple hundred bucks on going out to dinner every month. Some go buy CDs and DVDs when they come out or they just go out and rent movies. All that costs money for the entertainment. Some value that entertainment as worthwhile while others don’t. On my end I set a budget. Rather I’m now setting an official budget on scratch and wins. My limit? 10 bucks a week. Seem like a lot to throw away right? Look back and see all those coffee’s and quick dollar menu purchases you made last week. Not so much now is it? Some use money for nutrition I use mine for entertainment and the idea to win it back or more while having fun in the mean time.

Call it a waste and I’ll be more then happy to ask you your last couple of purchases and tell you they are a waste as well. And if you only spend your money on rent, cars and what not and are a tight ass. Your lying. Your a liarface. Dirty dirty liarface to say you haven’t spent money on anything other then a car payment or rent. LIAR!!

Back on subject, I spent 4 bucks on scratch and wins this week leaving room for 6 more bucks of scratching action!! Wahoo!! Of course I got the typical mega millions ticket which is now worth 25 million bucks!! A respectable amount of money no doubt. I’ve come to another conclusion on what the money should be good for of course. My immediate family. My mom, dad and brother. Well that’s outside the obvious g/f and son part. Why? Well my outside family I’d maybe toss something their way to call it even for everything they’ve given me their entire life so I personally don’t feel like I owe them anything. After that if they’re still greedy at least I won’t feel bad not giving them anything.

A house and a car is all I can really ask for…..and a huge plot of land with lots of trees of course. Who doesn’t want that? Probably a lot, but I’d love it.  But the good news is nobody won the lottery along with me last Tuesday and tomorrow’s Friday lottery is up to 25 million buckaroo’s!!

Back online!!

The absence has been clearly known due to lack of winning numbers and posting. Why does this happen? Internet has been crap lately and has been out the past few days. Not to mention when numbers are missed it’s internet down as well….well except 1 time, that time I was just kinda lazy and busy. Now that that’s settled, on to the week of the lottery playings I encountered.

I had a good day the other day to start off. Forgot to check out my winning numbers and had some notation that I won the jackpot. And of course the ideas run through my head on how I could now take it easy. To make things better I passed the Michigan Mega Millions sign and realized that the jackpot has been reset to 12 million meaning someone won the 44 million dollar jackpot last Tuesday! I was excited to say the least thinking maybe it was me that won, I could finally retire. This could be the day! Of course when I got home I was no winner and only managed to get 1 white ball number. Better to dream sometimes I guess.

I did happen to get my g/f addicted to scratch and win tickets and with the extra cash on hand we decided to do some luck investigating this week. I bought a 20 dollar Game Book, a 2 dollar bingo and a 5 dollar bingo scratch and win. She loved doing the bingo ones so it was entertaining at least. I was to curious about the game book and stupid me fell into the trap when the cashier handed it to me and said someone won 500 bucks last week there. I could feel the excitement……an hour later I felt jipped. When will I learn. I always have to have a 2nd shot at any scratch and win ticket I buy no matter what if I win or not. A 20 dollar ticket makes it worse though. Its a habit, it’s gone though. No more Game Book for me. But on the other hand the 2 dollar bingo card netted me 4 bucks in win and the 5 dollar bingo netted 5 bucks. So I spent 27 dollars, won 9 dollars and I’m only 18 bucks in the hole this week. Works for me. I’ll be interested in buying another 1 or 3 bingo scratch and win tickets to fight the urge. Very fun and take quite some time. It may be my new favorite type of scratch and win.

In terms of Mega Millions, didn’t win it Tuesday nor did I win it or anything else last night on Friday. Kind of a bummer but the Super Raffle set for a June 18th drawing. Still having plans on how it’s possible to make a living off that money through smart low risk investments while still maintaining a decent life style.
