Quote of the Day

"Consider the postage stamp: its usefulness consists in the ability to stick to one thing until it gets there." – Josh Billings

Last time I wrote, I told you we had won $30.00 in this pool. Juanita mailed our tickets to her sister in Pennsylvania and she purchased us 3 lines for 10 draws. Power Play feature was NOT used.

You’ve been through 2 draws already. (I got the scanned ticket yesterday, but we were busy installing our new computer.)

Here are your numbers for the entire game:

Power Ball Numbers	Power Ball	Dates Valid	Notes
04 19 33 50 52	30	01/12 – 02/13/08
01 10 17 54 55	37	01/12 – 02/13/08
01 44 49 51 54	34	01/12 – 02/13/08

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
January 2, 2008	$12.00	$30.00
January 12th, 2008	- $30.00	$0.00

Now you had tickets in this game since last Saturday, so you didn’t miss too many drawings. The same news is that someone in Louisiana won the Power Ball last night.

So the Jack Pot goes back to $15 Million. Now the good news is you still have 8 drawings on your three lines, and since Louisiana just won, Pennsylvania could be our next winner.

You know how I always ask you to pray for our pools? Well, this time, I’m not going to ask you to wait until the last draw. I have purchase 3 shares in this game, I would be willing to take the $1,675,000.00 and call it quits. So you can start praying for Saturday’s drawing.

Saturday January 19^th, 2008 is worth $15 Million. The Cash Option is worth $7,500,000.00. There were 12 shares sold in this game. This is what you could win, before any attorney fees, taxes or tithes:

Shares Purchased	Amount you could win.
.5	$312,500.00
1	$625,000.00
2	$1,250,000.00
3	$1,675,000.00

Why the Chicken Crossed the Road?

John Locke: Because he was exercising his natural right to liberty.

Machiavelli: The point is that the chicken crossed the road. Who cares why? The ends of crossing the road justify whatever motive there was.

Timothy Leary: Because that's the only kind of trip the Establishment would let it take.

The Bible: And God came down from the heavens, and He said unto the chicken, "Thou shalt cross the road." And the Chicken crossed the road, and there was much rejoicing.

Darwin #1: Chickens, over great periods of time, have been naturally selected in such a way that they are now genetically predisposed to cross roads

Darwin #2: It was the logical next step after coming down from the trees.

Jerry Seinfeld: Why does anyone cross a road? I mean, why anyone doesn’t ever think to ask, "What the heck was this chicken doing walking around all over the place anyway?"

Martin Luther King, Jr.: I envision a world where all chickens will be free to cross roads without having their motives called into question.

Grandpa: In my day, we didn't ask why the chicken crossed the road. Someone told us that the chicken had crossed the road, and that was good enough for us.

Bill Gates: I have just released the new Chicken 2000, which will both cross roads AND balance your checkbook, though when it divides 3 by 2 it gets 1.4999999999.

Colonel Sanders: I missed one?

Plato: For the greater good.

Aristotle: To actualize its potential.

Albert Einstein: Whether the chicken crossed the road or the road crossed the chicken depends upon your frame of reference.

Ralph Waldo Emerson: It didn't cross the road; it transcended it.

Joseph Stalin: I don't care. Catch it. I need its eggs to make my omelet.

Dr. Seuss: Did the chicken cross the road? Did he cross it with a toad? Yes the chicken crossed the road, but why he crossed, I've not been told!

OJ Simpson: It didn't. I was playing golf with it at the time.
