The End Already???

I went and bought more tickets, had a $2 winner and then bought two more tickets and that was the end of the round. I was able to go through a total of 29 tickets in the end.

The Beginning!

Last Thursday I found a small stuffed duck who became the mascot for a potential new lottery pool...

I always knew that the lottery would take your money in the end after giving you a few winning teasers as you tried to be a big winner before your luck ran out. The odds of winning are so incredibly against you! I have watched so many people spend a LOT of money trying to beat the odds to no avail. Two guys at work each had won $100,000 within a few months of each other. I always thought that a lottery pool was the way to go although you would have to share the winnings. I started out with $12.00 after taking back some empty pop bottles. I wanted to do a test run and see where it would goes. I choose to buy some $1 scratch n' win tickets starting with 10 tickets. The potential was a $25,000 prize. After a number of wins, I went through 33 tickets before I was out of funds. Next I added $8.00 to the $2.00 that I had remaining and bought 10 more tickets. In this second run, I bought tickets for family and friends to see what would happen. In the first wave, I was up $2.00. The next day I bought 12 tickets to keep playing and only won $5. From $2 up, I was now $7 down. I wonder just what tomorrow will bring. Stay tuned as we find out...
