Happy Groundhog’s Day everyone, we are going to have six more weeks of winter. Don’t believe me? Check out this web site:

I did send a check to Juanita Brown in Ohio for the our $3.00, so we will end up with another ticket for 3 more draws, or this game will be extended for 3 more drawings.

Do you realize that you are now my longest running game? This game started on November 6^th, 2007. On February 6^th, 2008 will have been playing for 3 months. (Even my longest Power Ball game starts out with only 20 draws!)

Our next drawing is on Tuesday, February 5th, 2008. The Jack Pot is worth $102 Million. The Cash Option is $63,700,000.00. We had 48 shares issued in this game. This is what you could win before any attorney fee’s, taxes or tithes:

Shares Purchased	What you would Net
.5	$ 663,541.67
1	$ 1,327,083.33
2	$ 2,654,166.67
3.5	$ 4,644,791.67

I have decided that I would not launch Mega Million Lottery Pool – Game 40 until Tuesday, February 19^th, 2008. I had a long talk with a friend yesterday, worrying over when to start this next game.

It was pointed out to me that I still feel that Texas hasn’t got the chance to win this, because Fort Worth, Texas won the Jack Pot last. So it would do no good to start a pool right now.

Also, in the three years I’ve been doing this, I have never benefited with starting a game early—In fact, I’ve always been disappointed.

And last, but not least, what is to say that no one wins this Jack Pot and I start Mega Million Lottery Pool – Game 40 with a $175 Million Jack Pot?

Now with that being said, I’m still not discounting the fact that I may elect to purchase all of our tickets out of state. I get paid on Friday, February 15^th, 2008. I may pay the cost of wiring money to Juanita (Ohio) and Renato (California) to buy the bulk of tickets in those states. However, it will really depend on what I clear on my check and the cost Western Unioning money. I will be out today, I can check on the cost.

THE LITTLE NIGHTIE

A husband walks into Victoria's Secret to purchase a sheer negligee for his wife. He is shown several possibilities that range from $250 to $500 in price, the more sheer, the higher the price. Naturally, he opts for the most sheer item, pays the $500, and takes it home.

He presents it to his wife and asks her to go upstairs, put it on, and model it for him. Upstairs, the wife thinks, "I have an idea. It's so sheer that it might as well be nothing. I won't put it on, but I'll do the modeling naked, return it tomorrow, and keep the $500 refund for myself."

So she appears naked on the balcony and strikes a pose.

The husband says, "Good Grief! You'd think for $500, they'd at least iron it!"

He never heard the shot.

Funeral on Thursday at Noon.
