Quote for the Day

Real heroes are men who fall and fail and are flawed, but win out in the end because they've stayed true to their ideals and beliefs and commitments. - Kevin Costner

Sorry no wins in last night’s drawing. The good news is that no one won the Jack Pot last night.

Here are your numbers for the entire game:

Power Ball Numbers	Power Ball	Dates Valid	Notes
25 31 44 50 54	08	10/10/2007 – 01/05/2008	Not Quick Pick
07 11 17 31 39	06	10/10/2007 – 01/05/2008
04 22 38 39 49	07	10/10/2007 – 01/05/2008
08 31 44 50 54	25	10/10/2007 – 01/05/2008
24 37 46 52 55	31	10/10/2007 – 01/05/2008
06 22 23 32 47	05	10/10/2007 – 01/05/2008

Here is Mac’s Spreadsheet:

What you’ve won so far:

Amount Won	Date Won	Running Total
October 10, 2007	$12.00	$12.00
November 14, 2007	$6.00	$18.00

Our next drawing is on Wednesday, January 2^nd, 2008. The Jack Pot is worth $52 Million. The Cash Option is worth $25,600,000.00. There were 12 shares issued in this game. I will divide the Cash Option by 12 and your portion in posted in the chart below.

Shares Purchased	Amount you could win (before any attorney fees, Taxes or Tithes)
.5	$ 1,066,666.66
1	$ 2,133,333.33
2	$ 4,266,666.66
3	$ 6,400,000.00

This game only contains two more draws on our original tickets. It would be okay with me if we don’t win on Wednesday and no one else wins that day either; then we walk away with the Jack Pot on Saturday January 5^th, 2008. Wouldn’t that be a great way to enter the New Year?

Things I Wish I'd Known before I Got out in the World.

A person needs only two tools: WD-40 and duct tape. If it doesn't move and it should, use WD-40. If it moves and it shouldn't, use the tape.

When baking, follow directions. When cooking, go by your own taste.

The five most essential words for a healthy, vital relationship: "I apologize" and "You are right."

Everyone seems normal until you get to know them.

When you make a mistake, make amends immediately. It's easier to eat crow while it's still warm.

If he or she says that you are too good for him -- believe it.

I've learned to pick my battles; I ask myself, "Will this matter one year from now? How about one month? One week? One day?"

Never pass up an opportunity to pee.

If you woke up breathing, congratulations! You have another chance!

Living well really is the best revenge.

Being miserable because of a bad or former relationship just proves that the other person was right about you.

Be really nice to your friends because you never know when you are going to need them to empty your bed pan and hold your hand.

And finally... Being happy doesn't mean everything's perfect; it just means you've decided to see beyond the imperfections.
