RE: 10th^UPDATE

Quote of the Day

"I am always doing that which I can not do, in order that I may learn how to do it." – Pablo Picasso

I’m sorry to tell you that you won nothing on the last two draws of this game. However, I told you that I would extend this game, because we still have $13.00 in wins to use.

Juanita Brown, in Ohio, purchased for you today one $10.00 ticket.

Your Ohio Mega Million Lottery Number:

Ohio Numbers	Ohio Mega Ball l	Dates Valid
06 14 30 32 37	04	01/15/2008 – 02/14/2008

I arranged this because the last winner in Mega Millions was Fort Worth, Texas. I have a hard time believing no matter how many numbers I purchased, we would have another winner in Texas right after the last.

Okay, this fact is NOT true where Power Ball is concerned. There have been several times that the same state has had back to back winners. Now, I didn’t really check toughly, because this may have happened before Texas entered Mega Millions.

Besides that fact, I still have vivid Memories of when I started this pool, and every time I turned around Ohio was winning the Jack Pot.

I remember my fear when California joined Mega Millions. I thought they would be winning every week (California is so large). But still Ohio brought in winners!

It’s been awhile since Ohio has won, so I’m hoping Juanita picked the right numbers.

What you have won so far:

*Amount Won*	*Date Won*	*Running Total*
*$6.00*	11/06/2007	$6.00
*$8.00*	11/13/2007	$14.00
*$21.00*	11/23/2007	$35.00
*$6.00*	11/30/2007	$41.00
*-$40.00*	12/01/2007	$1.00
*$12.00*	12/04/2007	$13.00
*$8.00*	12/04/2007	$21.00
*-$20.00*	12/11/2007	$1.00
*$12.00*	01/01/2008	$13.00
*-$10.00*	01/12/2008	$3.00

1	$408,333.33
2	$816,666.66

You will be my only game for a little while. I can’t believe this but Mega Millions Lottery Pool – Game 39 when for 10 drawing and won nothing. Talk about depressing.

I’ve update all my games, and you are welcome to play in any of them. As of this writing, I’ve not been to the Post Office Box, so if you send me money it may still be there.
