We won again, on our last drawing:

I originally wanted to remove 50% of the pool’s 120 shares and more those ½ shares to Game 36. Anyone not playing in Game 36 would have gotten back there 50% in money. The remaining $284.00 would be spent in tickets.
Well, first off I had a hard time explaining to some of my members of how much cash they would be getting back. They felt they should be getting more than 50% back.
Then there were others who wanted the cash back, out of the game. Some of them have been trapped in this game from Game 34.
Some complained that they were getting too many e-mails, and wanted to know why. (If they had read them, then they would know.)
However, I’m glad to report most of my members wanted the cash out and wanted me to move their shares to Game 36; they really wanted to continue to play for free. Anyone who asked, I told them I would let them play in Game 36, instead of getting money back.
There are more good and intelligent people in this world, then bad and stupid people, but sometimes when you are dealing with the public, all you see is the bad and stupid.
One of my dear friends who is a member of long standing come to my desk yesterday and ask that I keep Game 35 separate from Game 36. He had many good points, and when given good advice, I take it. I will not bore with all that he thought of “might” happen, but I am taking his advice.
If you did NOT pay for Game 36, you’re NOT in Game 36.
There were several members who wanted me to drop the entire $884.00 in Friday Night’s drawing. When I left work early today, my intention was to do that, but most of you who know me, know that I consider throwing $884.00 in one drawing to be a waste. I would have rather donated to a charity, or held a raffle for it.
Me spending $884.00 in one drawing would have meant 176 tickets for me to scan and e-mail out, not counting the number of people I would have to copy the tickets for and then have to explain why they are getting more tickets.
So while I was riding the bus home, I thought of a compromise. By the way, “compromise” means no body is happy.
I extend this game by one month. I purchased $884.00 in 10 draw tickets. Really this is the best deal for those of you who could not afford to join Game 36. You have 8 $100.00 tickets, 1 $80.00 ticket, and one $4.00 ticket (good for two draws only).
You will be playing until
We have 120 shares issued in this game. We should be dividing the Cash Option Sum, by 120 to get the per share ratio.
| Shares Purchased | Amount you could win (before any attorney fees, taxes or tithes) |
| 1 | $500,333.33 |
| 1.5 | $762,500.00 |
| 2 | $1,016,666.66 |
| 2.5 | $1,270,833.33 |
| 3 | $1,525,000.00 |
| 4 | $2,033,333.33 |
| 16 | $8,133,333.33 |

Now it’s not too late to belong to Game 36, I will be in the office tomorrow and can still add your name to the list. But, tomorrow is the last day.
Important Note
Here the bad news. Well for most of you its bad news, some of you are going to be delighted.
This will be the last newsletter you receive on this Game unless you win and I purchase tickets.
I’m under obligation to supply my members with copies of tickets that I purchase with their money, so if you $300.00, I have to purchase tickets, you will get another e-mail.
But, lets say you win $1 Million, or the Jack Pot, you will not receive any notice from me. They next notice you receive would be after I had already establish the trust fund, and I needed your personal information to input to it. (Okay, I’m giving you money; I think you would be happy about that e-mail.) The same goes for paper copies, this one will be the last one you get.
This will be a blessing for me. I don’t have time to run another game. As it is now, I’m running 7 Lottery Pools. I didn’t need an 8th one.
I will as my friend in
Now, I think I know Mac, so I feel certain he will either create a new spreadsheet or update our existing spreadsheet. If I were you, and you wanted to know how this game is doing, I would keep this e-mail so I would have the link to that spreadsheet.
Now I notice the Jack Pot just got to where I could give everyone $1 Million, because most of you have at least 2 shares in this game.
I would have like to have the time to update you on a regular basis of your wins. But, by no stretch of the imagination, do I know want you Not want you to win. I want all my pools to win. The Jack Pot is at the right level to be starting a new pot. You are going to be bigger than Game 36.
Now before I get loads of e-mail, I want to make it clear that the vast majority of you I have no problems with. Especially my out of town, and out of state members, they seem to really care about winning and playing in my pools, without them, I would resign from being a Lottery Host. Just today I got a check from one of my members paying for her dues for games, that I haven’t even created a file for, I have created a membership list just for her. She is serious about winning a lottery.
Rule of thumb: If we didn’t have a problem before today, we still don’t have a problem.
My last words concerning e-mail: I would like for you to know that there is one member of this game who belongs to ALL my Lottery Pools. Imagine for a moment of the volume of e-mails he receives. Not once has he asked me to stop e-mailing him, or ask me to remove him from pools. I know that he can read everyone in a timely manner, he is too busy. But probably on his down time, he catches up with the newsletters.
He is grateful that he is allowed to play with us. He doesn’t buy his own personal tickets, so if he wins, it will be in one of my pools.
To tell you who nice this young man is, when ever I haven’t the time to buy a ticket that was needed in one of my pools, he will go out on his lunch break and buy the ticket for me.
It’s almost against his faith to play the lottery, but he plays with me. I pray for him almost every night. I pray that God Blesses Him.
I would suggest you start praying for him, too! To win Mega Millions Lottery Pool – Game 35! You only have 10 draws to do it.
Good luck!
Michael
