Every one of our lines won last night – All four of them! The Mega Ball 28 came up!!!!

[28]

The only bad news is that we only had 28 as the Mega Ball. We hit none of the White Balls. So we got $2.00 four times. Giving us a total of $8.00 in wins.

Your tickets are good for only two more drawings. While I will collect your winnings today, I think that I’m going to hang on to them until after these tickets expire.

Okay, I have a feeling we could see “28” two more times. It has happened before, so we could win another $8.00 two more times, or even more. Hell we could win the Jack Pot on one of these four lines!

All I know is that I think it would be benefit to you if I extend your game so you can play longer.

Your next drawing on the July 2nd, 2008 and the Jack Pot is worth $64 Million. The Cash Option is worth $38,700,000.00.

We have 35 members and 46 shares sold Depending on whether you paid $5.00 or $35.00, here is what you payout would be before any attorney fees, taxes or tithes.

THE LARK PROGRAM



A Lady liberal wrote a lot of letters to the White House complaining about the treatment of a captive insurgent (terrorist) being held in Guantanamo Bay.

She received back the following reply:

The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue
Washington, D.C. 20016


Dear Concerned Citizen,

Thank you for your recent letter roundly criticizing our treatment of the Taliban and Al Quida detainees currently being held at Guantanamo Bay,Cuba.

Our administration takes these matters seriously and your opinion was heard loud and clear here in Washington.

You'll be pleased to learn that, thanks to the concerns of citizens like yourself, we are creating a new division of the Terrorist Retraining Program, to be called the 'Liberals Accept Responsibility for Killers' program, or LARK for short.

In accordance with the guidelines of this new program, we have decided to place one terrorist under your personal care.

Your personal detainee has been selected and scheduled for transportation under heavily armed guard to your residence next Monday.

Ali Mohammed Ahmed bin Mahmud (you can just call him Ahmed) is to be cared for pursuant to the standards you personally demanded in your letter of complaint. It will likely be necessary for you to hire some assistant caretakers.

We will conduct weekly inspections to ensure that your standards of care for Ahmed are commensurate with those you so strongly recommended in your letter.

Although Ahmed is a sociopath and extremely violent, we hope that your sensitivity to what you described as his attitudinal problem' will help him overcome these character flaws.

Perhaps you are correct in describing these problems as mere cultural differences. We understand that you plan to offer counseling and home schooling.

Your adopted terrorist is extremely proficient in hand-to-hand combat and can extinguish human life with such simple items as a pencil or nail clippers. We advise that you do not ask him to demonstrate these skills at your next yoga group. He is also expert at making a wide variety of explosive devices from common household products, so you may wish to keep those items locked up, unless (in your opinion) this might offend him.

Ahmed will not wish to interact with you or your daughters (except sexually), since he views females as a subhuman form of property. This is a particularly sensitive subject for him and he has been known to show violent tendencies around women who fail to comply with the new dress code that he will recommend as more appropriate attire.

I'm sure you will come to enjoy the anonymity offered by the burka -- over time.

Just remember that it is all part of 'respecting his culture and his religious beliefs' -- wasn't that how you put it?

Thanks again for your letter. We truly appreciate it when folks like you keep us informed of the proper way to do our job. You take good care of Ahmed - and remember, we'll be watching.


Good luck!
Cordially, your friend,
GEORGE W. BUSH

Now on the ticket that we only have 2 lines, this ticket won us $6.00. We won $3.00 on each line. We had 11, 18 19, and 29. We have five of the needed 6 numbers to win. The bad news is that we had it on two lines. Same ticket, but still two lines.

So this Jack Pot goes back to back to $4 Million. The Cash Option is worth $2,400,000.00.

I have not gotten a spreadsheet for this game, from Mac. I don’t known if he did one, and just not e-mailed to me, or if he didn’t do one.

But early today, I had given one of my Die Hard Members wrong info on their newsletter. On their spreadsheet, I thought Mac had one of your tickets on it. He didn’t, I just didn’t have their ticket on me.

Well, I found their ticket, since out another newsletter to correct my mistake.

Gotta love those nurses!!

A male patient is lying in bed in the hospital, wearing an oxygen mask over his mouth and nose. A young, student nurse appears to give him a partial sponge bath.

‘Nurse', he mumbles, from behind the mask. 'Are my testicles black?'

Embarrassed, the young nurse replies, 'I don't know, Sir. I'm only here to wash your upper body and feet.

'He struggles to ask again, 'Nurse, please check. Are my testicles black?'

Concerned that he may elevate his blood pressure and heart rate from worry about his testicles, she overcomes her embarrassment and pulls back the covers. She raises his gown, holds his manhood in one hand and his testicles in the other. Then, she takes a close look and says, There's nothing wrong with them, Sir!'

The man pulls off his oxygen mask, smiles at her and says very slowly, 'Thank you very much. That was wonderful, but, listen very, very closely......

We have won nothing more since my last newsletter! The bad news is that we are now down to 1 more drawing.

I told you in the Last Newsletter how someone won the Jack Pot in South Carolina, and here’s an article that I found:

$35 million 'exciting, still shocking'

Lucky guy! 19-year-old S.C.'s first Powerball winner

By MARJORIE RIDDLE - mriddle@thestate.com

Jonathan Vargas, 19, of Gaston, picked the winning Powerball numbers using a combination of the ages and birthdays of his family members. It was the first time he had ever played the game.">Jonathan Vargas, 19, of Gaston, picked the winning Powerball numbers using a combination of the ages and birthdays of his family members. It was the first time he had ever played the game." v:shapes="_x0000_i1026" border="0" height="200" width="300">

Erik Campos/ecampos@thestate.com

Jonathan Vargas, 19, of Gaston, picked the winning Powerball numbers using a combination of the ages and birthdays of his family members. It was the first time he had ever played the game.

Nineteen-year-old Jonathan Vargas bought his first lottery ticket, along with gasoline and an iced tea, Saturday at a Cayce Raceway station.

His errand made history.

With the ticket, the Gaston construction worker became the first South Carolinian to win the S.C. Education Lottery Powerball Jackpot.

North Carolina residents bought the previous four winning tickets.

While Vargas won $35.3 million, he is choosing to take a lump sum of $17.3 million instead. The Airport High School graduate should have his money within two weeks, lottery officials said.

“I have a mixture of feelings. Scary. Exciting. Still shocking,” Vargas said. “I’m still telling my mother to pinch me.”

Vargas said he was working a construction job Saturday morning when “this weird feeling came over me.” He said he heard the lottery numbers in his head, jotted them on a napkin and called his mother to tell her to write them down so he could buy a ticket later that afternoon.

Vargas used the upcoming birthdays and ages of his four siblings to determine his winning numbers. His three younger siblings will turn 12, 14 and 15 this year, and his older brother will be 21. The fifth number he chose was for his mother, Patricia Richardson, who turned 43 on Sunday.

But the final Powerball number?

“Thirty was a lucky guess, I guess. It’s a blessing from God, man.”

He said he watched an 11 p.m. drawing on TV on Saturday and knew he won after the first three numbers were correct.

“I was jumping up and down.”

With the win, Vargas became one of the Midlands’ most eligible bachelors. (Patricia Richardson says her son is neither married nor in a relationship.)

Vargas intends to invest a lot of the money and go back to school, but his first purchase will be a new house for his mother, sister, three brothers and stepfather Anthony Richardson.

“We’ve been looking at houses on the Internet,” Patricia Richardson said. “We’ll buy a brand-new, big house.”

Vargas also wants to set up trust funds for his sister and brothers.

“He’s very close to his siblings,” Patricia Richardson said.

Vargas’ mother is a homemaker, and his stepfather, Anthony, 45, has been a custodian at a local hospital for five years. He declined to say which one.

“This is wild and great, and we thank God for him,” Anthony Richardson said. But how he spends the money is “his choice, his responsibility. The choices he makes, I’ll support.”

Before he starts spending his new fortune, Vargas said, he will get a lawyer and financial consultant to help him manage his millions. He’s still not sure whether he’ll keep his construction job or quit.

“I’m so young, and I just don’t want to go in the wrong direction. I have a lot of family and a lot to protect.

“So I’m not going to spend all my money. Investing is very important.”

His philosophy on how he’ll spend his money could be summed up in Psalm 41, he said.

“He who helps the poor shall be blessed.”

Reach Riddle at (803) 771-8435.

The other bad news is that Barbara has delayed her trip to New Orleans; she will be going down over the 4th of July.

So, I’m trying to decide where to spend your $10.00. Right now Mega Million is low, it is at $12 Million. Lotto Texas is now at $16 Million. The Ohio Lottery has really gotten big; it’s now at $20,500,000.00!

Of course, I’m disconnecting the fact you could win on your last drawing. And I shouldn’t do that, because we could use the $12,100,000.00 that is up for grabs on Wednesday.

Here is what you have won since we have been playing:

George Burns and Oprah Winfrey

When George Burns was 97 years old he was interviewed by Oprah Winfrey. Oprah asked, "Mr. Burns, how do you carry so much energy with you? You are always working and at your age I think that is remarkable."

George said, "I just take good care of myself and enjoy what I do when I do it."

Oprah said, "I understand you still do the sex thing, even at your age."

George said, "Of course I still do the sex thing and I am quite good at it."

Oprah said, "I have never been with an older man, would you do it with me?"

So they had sex and when they finished Oprah said, "I just don't believe I have ever been so satisfied, you are a remarkable man."

George said, "The second time is even better than the first time."

Oprah said, "You can really do it again at your age?"

George said, "Just let me sleep for 1/2 hour. You hold my testicles in your left hand and my penis in your right hand and wake me up in thirty minutes."

When she woke him up they again had great sex and Oprah was beside herself with joy.

She said, "Oh Mr. Burns, I am astounded that you could do a repeat performance and have it be better than the first time. At your age, Oh My, Oh My!!!"

George said that the third time would be even better "You just hold my testicles in your left hand and my penis in your right hand and wake me up in thirty minutes."

Oprah said, "Does me holding you like that kind of recharge your batteries?"

George said, "No, but the last time I had sex with a black gal she stole my wallet."

RE: 5th UPDATE

Just A Mom

A woman, renewing her driver's license at the County Clerk’s office, was asked by the woman recorder to state her occupation.

She hesitated, uncertain how to classify herself.

'What I mean is, ' explained the recorder, 'do you have a job or are you just a ...?'

'Of course I have a job,' snapped the woman.

'I'm a Mom.'

'We don't list 'Mom' as an occupation, 'housewife' covers it,' said the recorder emphatically.

I forgot all about her story until one day I found myself in the same situation, this time at our own Town Hall. The clerk was obviously a career woman, poised, efficient, and possessed of a high sounding title like, 'Official Interrogator' or 'Town Registrar.'

'What is your occupation?' she probed.

What made me say it? I do not know. The words simply popped out.

'I'm a Research Associate in the field of Child Development and Human Relations.'

The clerk paused, ball-point pen frozen in midair and looked up as though she had not heard right.

I repeated the title slowly emphasizing the most significant words.

Then I stared with wonder as my pronouncement was written,

in bold, black ink on the official questionnaire.

'Might I ask,' said the clerk with new interest, 'just what you do in your field?'

Coolly, without any trace of fluster in my voice, I heard myself reply,

'I have a continuing program of research, (what mother doesn't) in the laboratory and in the field, (normally I would have said indoors and out).

I'm working for my Masters, (first the Lord and then the whole family) and already have four credits (all daughters).

Of course, the job is one of the most demanding in the humanities, (any mother care to disagree?) and I often work 14 hours a day, (24 is more like it).

But the job is more challenging than most run-of-the-mill careers and the rewards are more of a satisfaction rather than just money.'

There was an increasing note of respect in the clerk's voice as she completed the form, stood up, and personally ushered me to the door.

As I drove into our driveway, buoyed up by my glamorous new career, I was greeted by my lab assistants -- ages 13, 7, and 3.

Upstairs I could hear our new experimental model, (a 6 month old baby) in the child development program, testing out a new vocal pattern.

I felt I had scored a beat on bureaucracy! And I had gone on the official records as someone more distinguished and indispensable to mankind than 'just another Mom.'

Motherhood!

What a glorious career!

Especially when there's a title on the door.

Does this make grandmothers 'Senior Research Associates in the field of Child Development and Human Relations' and great grandmothers 'Executive Senior Research Associates?'

I think so!!!

I also think it makes Aunts ' Associate Research Assistants.'

In my last newsletter is said this: “This is my last newsletter for the day (Thank God) and by now most of you, if not all of you know that someone in South Caroline won the Jack Pot in Power Ball last night.”

Remember how I tell you all over and over, when we win, we are to tell NO ONE! Here is another good reason:

Lottery loot apparently buys ticket to anxiety

Jonathan Vargas, 19, of Gaston, speaks Monday about his experience winning last Saturday's $35 million Powerball Jackpot.">Jonathan Vargas, 19, of Gaston, speaks Monday about his experience winning last Saturday's $35 million Powerball Jackpot." v:shapes="_x0000_i1027" border="0" height="471" width="300">

Erik Campos/Ecampos@thestate.com

Jonathan Vargas, 19, of Gaston, speaks Monday about his experience winning last Saturday's $35 million Powerball Jackpot.

The Gaston 19-year-old who won a $35.3 million Powerball jackpot is looking to hire a bodyguard after friends alerted him to possible threats.

“I’ve been getting a lot of warnings from friends I trust that the word is going around people are plotting on you,” said Jonathan Vargas, who is the youngest person and only South Carolinian to claim the S.C. Education Lottery Powerball Jackpot.

North Carolinians had purchased the previous four Powerball jackpot tickets sold in South Carolina.

Vargas, a construction worker, is going to take a lump sum of $17 million.

He said he is considering making an appearance on the “Dr. Phil Show” after being contacted by one of the outspoken talk show host’s executive producers.

He is weary about the attention he has received over his instant millionaire status.

“I don’t want too much exposure in my neighborhood,” he said Wednesday.

The Airport High School graduate purchased his first lottery ticket Saturday at a Cayce Raceway station, and realized he was the big winner after watching an 11 p.m. TV newscast.

He chose the six winning numbers using the upcoming birthdays and ages of his four siblings, his mother’s age and a lucky “guess” — 12, 14, 15, 21, 43 and 30.

Vargas said Monday he wants to invest most of the money, buy a new house for his family and set up trust funds for his sister and three brothers.

RE: 16th UPDATE

God left clues . . .


A sliced Carrot looks like the human eye. The pupil, iris and radiating lines look just like the human eye...and, YES, science now shows that carrots greatly enhance blood flow to and function of the eyes.

A Tomato has four chambers and is red. The heart is red and has four chambers. All of the research shows tomatoes are indeed pure heart and blood food.

Grapes hang in a cluster that has the shape of the heart. Each grape looks like a blood cell and all of the research today shows that grapes are also profound heart and blood vitalizing food.

A Walnut looks like a little brain, a left and right hemisphere, upper cerebrums and lower cerebellums. Even the wrinkles or folds are on the nut just like the neo-cortex. We now know that walnuts help develop over 3 dozen neuron-transmitters for brain function.

Kidney Beans actually heal and help maintain kidney function and yes, they look exactly like the human kidneys.

Celery, Bok Choy, Rhubarb and more look just like bones. These foods specifically target bone strength. Bones are 23% sodium and these foods are 23% sodium. If you don't have enough sodium in your diet the body pulls it from the bones, making them weak. These foods replenish the skeletal needs of the body.

Eggplant, Avocadoes and Pears target the health and function of the womb and cervix of the female - they look just like these organs. Today's research shows that when a woman eats 1 avocado a week, it balances hormones, sheds unwanted birth weight and prevents cervical cancers. And how profound is this? .... It takes exactly 9 months to grow an avocado from blossom to ripened fruit. There are over 14,000 photolytic chemical constituents of nutrition in each one of these foods (modern science has only studied and named about 141 of them).

Figs are full of seeds and hang in twos when they grow. Figs increase the motility of male sperm and increase the numbers of sperm as well to overcome male sterility.

Sweet Potatoes look like the pancreas and actually balance the glycemic index of diabetics.

Olives assist the health and function of the ovaries.

Grapefruits, Oranges, and other Citrus fruits look just like the mammary glands of the female and actually assist the health of the breasts and the movement of lymph in and out of the breasts.

Onions look like body cells. Today's research shows that onions help clear waste materials from all of the body cells. They even produce tears which wash the epithelial layers of the eyes.

Young Player from South Carolina Claims 35.3 Million Powerball Jackpot!
The winner from the Saturday, May 17, 2008 drawing has come forward and claimed the $35.3 million jackpot. Jonathan Vargas, of Gaston, SC, claimed his Powerball® prize at the Columbia Claims Center with his mother, Patricia Richardson, and step-father, Anthony Richardson. The 19-year-old millionaire has plans to share his prize with his very proud family and invest the money.

We have no wins since I got our tickets. But the good news is that no one has won the Jack Pot, so it’s going back up.

Jimmy & Bubba

One day, Jimmy Jones was walking down Main Street when he saw his buddy Bubba driving a brand new pickup.

Bubba pulled up to him with a wide grin.

"Bubba, where'd you git that truck?!?"

"Tammie give it to me" Bubba replied.

"She give it to ya?

I know'd she wuz kinda sweet on ya, but a new truck?"

"Well, Jimmy Jones, let me tell you what happened. We wuz drivin' out on County Road 6, in the middle of nowheres. Tammie pulled off the road, put the truck in 4-wheel drive, and headed into the woods. She parked the truck, got out, threw off all her clothes and said, 'Bubba, take whatever you want.'

So I took the truck! "

"Bubba, yore a smart man! Them clothes woulda never fit you!"

RE: 1st Update

Welcome to the 14th Game of Lotto Texas!

Did you know that Game 13 went all 10 drawing without winning anything? Not even $3.00. That may have happened before, I can’t remember, but it’s been a long time.

Everyone but two people continue to play with me in this game. I lost Cordelia R. McGregor, but she comes and goes in my games. And Aaron Montgomery left us for the Die Hard Multi-Lottery Pool Game.

On a side note, the New Die Hard game that I will be opening late month or early June, will most likely start with Lotto Texas and Ohio Lottery, since those state lotteries are getting high. Both Power Ball and Mega Millions have been won. In fact, Mega Millions was won by 2 people just yesterday.

So Lotto Texas is the place to be.

Now you have all the numbers Game 13 won. Since they didn’t win on any of their numbers, I opted to play them again for another 10 draws.

But you have 2 Rejoins: Kimberly Francis and Cindy Fernandez came back to us. And we have a new person Bonnie Franks. Okay, I know that Bonnie is not new to my lottery pools, because she plays in Mega Millions and a Power Ball Pool. But, she is new to Lotto Texas! Welcome all of you and please please pray this group hits the Jack Pot.

Your game actually started yesterday. I worked on Saturday, and Bonnie brought me to Kroger, where I purchase the last of our tickets. It was my plan to do a newsletter, but guys I was so tired yesterday, I when to bed.

I had even stopped by my Post Office Box and picked up mail and checks, but I was so tired, I didn’t cash any of the checks. (I should be out tomorrow, so I will cash them then, and check your tickets.)

I didn’t sleep well last night, and I’m still tired. I don’t know if I can get out all my newsletters today or not, but I wanted to get out the ones that had tickets in them.

Right now, there is no spreadsheet, because Mac is getting this newsletter the same as you.

And I’ve not checked the numbers, so you could have money on them, but I know you didn’t win, because no one won the Jack Pot last night. But here are the numbers from last night’s drawing:

Lotto Texas Winning Numbers for 05/24/2008 were:

Your second drawing will be on Wednesday, May 28th, 2008. I sold 15 shares in this game ($150.00). The Jack Pot is worth $16 Million. The Cash Option is worth $9,900,000.00.
