Here is Mac’s spreadsheet for this game: http://tinyurl.com/2lmurw

You did end up with $13 in wins, and while I was buying Game 35’s numbers, I purchased you numbers. I almost extend this game, but it was hard to divide $13 by anything that would come out even. Besides, I kind of wanted to start fresh with Game 37, so I spend all of your money on Friday Night’s drawing.

The Jack Pot for Friday, September 14th, 2007 is worth $36 Million. The Cash Option is worth $21,600,000.00. I sold 45 shares in this game.

Here is what your payout would look like if we should win Friday Night:

Shares Purchased	Amount you could win.
.5	$240,000.00
1	$480,000.00
1.5	$720,000.00
2	$960,000.00
5.5	$2,640,000.00

Now you will need to win something on Friday Night, in order for me to continue this game. Game 35 still have $1.00 in their bank, so I know they will be playing on Tuesday September 18^th, 2007, competing with my Game 37. I would love for you to win something (or even the Jack Pot), but my hopes are not up. I’m losing faith.

I don’t know if I will ever have a game play as long as Game 35, nor do I know if I will ever have a game win as much. All, I can do is pray.

I want you to know that I’ve talked with everyone who gave me problems in Game 35 and invited many of them to play with me in Game 37 if they desired. The only changed, I’m making is that I am no longer asking people to play with me who require paper copies. I don’t why this is, but for the most part, they seem to be the ones that require the most attention, and are the most demanding.

Let me give you an example. I am running a small pool that was organized by Abu Baba, it’s called Abu’s Mega Million Lottery Pool. They won some money the same night 4 people claimed the Jack Pot.

Now, since the Jack Pot was so low, I opted to extend the game, so they would have more times to play. I thought everyone would be happy.

Well, when I passed out newsletters, I have one person (who is an old-timer with me) say, “Why in the hell didn’t you just drop all this money on one drawing, why did you drag it out?”

Well even as I explained this to her, and how it was for her benefit that I extend the game, it fell on death ears. The Jack Pot was starting over at $12 Million, why would I spend even $5.00 on a lotto drawing that small? Why not just buy a ticket for 5 draws, hoping you would win on the last drawing? After all you only need one number to win. I’m playing with 12 people in Houston, in their pool, and they only play on one number and a different number every five draws.

Again, you only need one line to win.

If want to plan in Mega Millions Lottery Pool – Game 37, you should have your money to me no later than Friday September 14^th, 2007.

Special Notice:

Lotto Texas Lottery Pool – Game Eight starts on Saturday September 15^th, 2007. If you wish to play in that game, it’s run identical to the Mega Millions Game. The cost is $10.00 per share, and I do allow people to buy ½ shares.

If you want to play in Lotto Texas Lottery Pool – Game Eight, you will need to have your money to me no later than Friday, September 14^th, 2007.

I have right now a Power Ball Pool. We purchased the tickets from Pennsylvania. Now this current game is closed, and they have the last drawing on October 3^rd, 2007.

Juanita Brown, will be going back to Pennsylvania to pick up our winnings and purchased tickets for the 13 Week Pennsylvania Power Ball Pool – Game Two.

The cost for the Power Ball Pool is $26.00 per share, and I will accept ½ shares in this game.

Now 13 weeks is 3 months and 1 week, so the game is long. The good thing about Power Ball is it goes up very fast. The Jack Pot was just won and started over at $15 Million, and then rose to $20 Million. The current Jack Pot is now at $29 Million. If no one wins in on Wednesday, it could easily get to $40 Million by Saturday. See www.powerball.com

If you wish to play in this pool, you will need to have your money to me no later than September 20^th, 2007.

On Fire!

During a recent ecumenical gathering, a secretary rushed in shouting, "The building is on fire!"

The Methodists gathered in the corner and prayed.

The Baptists cried, "Where is the water?"

The Quakers quietly praised God for the blessings that fire brings.

The Lutherans posted a notice on the door declaring the fire was evil.

The Roman Catholics passed the plate to cover the damage.

The Jews posted symbols on the door hoping the fire would pass.

The Congregationalists shouted, "Every man for himself!"

The Fundamentalists proclaimed, "It's the vengeance of God!"

The Episcopalians formed a procession and marched out.

The Christian Scientists concluded that there was no fire.

The Presbyterians appointed a chairperson who was to appoint a committee to look into the matter and submit a written report.

The secretary grabbed the fire extinguisher and put the fire out.
