Every one of our lines won last night – All four of them! The Mega Ball 28 came up!!!!

Here are the numbers that were drawn last night:

Detailed results for drawing dated: 7/4/2008.

Mega Ball =

The only bad news is that we only had 28 as the Mega Ball. We hit none of the White Balls. So we got $2.00 four times. Giving us a total of $8.00 in wins.

Your tickets are good for only two more drawings. While I will collect your winnings today, I think that I’m going to hang on to them until after these tickets expire.

Okay, I have a feeling we could see “28” two more times. It has happened before, so we could win another $8.00 two more times, or even more. Hell we could win the Jack Pot on one of these four lines!

All I know is that I think it would be benefit to you if I extend your game so you can play longer.

Your next drawing on the July 2^nd, 2008 and the Jack Pot is worth $64 Million. The Cash Option is worth $38,700,000.00.

We have 35 members and 46 shares sold Depending on whether you paid $5.00 or $35.00, here is what you payout would be before any attorney fees, taxes or tithes.

*Shares Purchased*	*Amount you could win*

THE LARK PROGRAM

A Lady liberal wrote a lot of letters to the White House complaining about the treatment of a captive insurgent (terrorist) being held in Guantanamo Bay.

She received back the following reply:

The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue
Washington, D.C. 20016

Dear Concerned Citizen,

Thank you for your recent letter roundly criticizing our treatment of the Taliban and Al Quida detainees currently being held at Guantanamo Bay,Cuba.

Our administration takes these matters seriously and your opinion was heard loud and clear here in Washington.

You'll be pleased to learn that, thanks to the concerns of citizens like yourself, we are creating a new division of the Terrorist Retraining Program, to be called the 'Liberals Accept Responsibility for Killers' program, or LARK for short.

In accordance with the guidelines of this new program, we have decided to place one terrorist under your personal care.

Your personal detainee has been selected and scheduled for transportation under heavily armed guard to your residence next Monday.

Ali Mohammed Ahmed bin Mahmud (you can just call him Ahmed) is to be cared for pursuant to the standards you personally demanded in your letter of complaint. It will likely be necessary for you to hire some assistant caretakers.

We will conduct weekly inspections to ensure that your standards of care for Ahmed are commensurate with those you so strongly recommended in your letter.

Although Ahmed is a sociopath and extremely violent, we hope that your sensitivity to what you described as his attitudinal problem' will help him overcome these character flaws.

Perhaps you are correct in describing these problems as mere cultural differences. We understand that you plan to offer counseling and home schooling.

Your adopted terrorist is extremely proficient in hand-to-hand combat and can extinguish human life with such simple items as a pencil or nail clippers. We advise that you do not ask him to demonstrate these skills at your next yoga group. He is also expert at making a wide variety of explosive devices from common household products, so you may wish to keep those items locked up, unless (in your opinion) this might offend him.

Ahmed will not wish to interact with you or your daughters (except sexually), since he views females as a subhuman form of property. This is a particularly sensitive subject for him and he has been known to show violent tendencies around women who fail to comply with the new dress code that he will recommend as more appropriate attire.

I'm sure you will come to enjoy the anonymity offered by the burka -- over time.

Just remember that it is all part of 'respecting his culture and his religious beliefs' -- wasn't that how you put it?

Thanks again for your letter. We truly appreciate it when folks like you keep us informed of the proper way to do our job. You take good care of Ahmed - and remember, we'll be watching.

Good luck!
Cordially, your friend,
GEORGE W. BUSH

In war: resolution. In defeat: defiance. In victory: magnanimity. In peace: goodwill.

I can not believe that I have to write so many bad news newsletters. I hate it.

But here goes:

Lotto Texas Winning Numbers for 05/31/2008 were:
18 - 19 - 26 - 29 - 32 - 42
Number Correct	Prize Amount	Winners	Jackpot Option
6 of 6	$17 Million	1	CVO
5 of 6	$2,489	19

3 of 6	$3	28,345
Total Winners:		29,805

Where Sold:
Prize Level	Retailer	Retailer City	Quick Pick
6 of 6	STEP N GO	SAN ANTONIO	No

Now while someone in San Antonio, Texas won the Jack Pot, we only got $6.00.

Now on the ticket that we only have 2 lines, this ticket won us $6.00. We won $3.00 on each line. We had 11, 18 19, and 29. We have five of the needed 6 numbers to win. The bad news is that we had it on two lines. Same ticket, but still two lines.

So this Jack Pot goes back to back to $4 Million. The Cash Option is worth $2,400,000.00.

There were 15 shares issued in this game. Here is what you could win, if we hold the winning numbers, this figure does NOT take into account any attorney fees, taxes or tithes:

*Shares Purchased*	*Amount you could win*
.5	$80,000.00
1	$160,000.00
*1.5*	$240,000.00

I have not gotten a spreadsheet for this game, from Mac. I don’t known if he did one, and just not e-mailed to me, or if he didn’t do one.

But early today, I had given one of my Die Hard Members wrong info on their newsletter. On their spreadsheet, I thought Mac had one of your tickets on it. He didn’t, I just didn’t have their ticket on me.

Well, I found their ticket, since out another newsletter to correct my mistake.

Gotta love those nurses!!

A male patient is lying in bed in the hospital, wearing an oxygen mask over his mouth and nose. A young, student nurse appears to give him a partial sponge bath.

‘Nurse', he mumbles, from behind the mask. 'Are my testicles black?'

Embarrassed, the young nurse replies, 'I don't know, Sir. I'm only here to wash your upper body and feet.

'He struggles to ask again, 'Nurse, please check. Are my testicles black?'

Concerned that he may elevate his blood pressure and heart rate from worry about his testicles, she overcomes her embarrassment and pulls back the covers. She raises his gown, holds his manhood in one hand and his testicles in the other. Then, she takes a close look and says, There's nothing wrong with them, Sir!'

The man pulls off his oxygen mask, smiles at her and says very slowly, 'Thank you very much. That was wonderful, but, listen very, very closely......

$35 million 'exciting, still shocking'

Lucky guy! 19-year-old S.C.'s first Powerball winner

By MARJORIE RIDDLE - mriddle@thestate.com

Jonathan Vargas, 19, of Gaston, picked the winning Powerball numbers using a combination of the ages and birthdays of his family members. It was the first time he had ever played the game.">Jonathan Vargas, 19, of Gaston, picked the winning Powerball numbers using a combination of the ages and birthdays of his family members. It was the first time he had ever played the game." v:shapes="_x0000_i1026" border="0" height="200" width="300">

Erik Campos/ecampos@thestate.com

Jonathan Vargas, 19, of Gaston, picked the winning Powerball numbers using a combination of the ages and birthdays of his family members. It was the first time he had ever played the game.

Nineteen-year-old Jonathan Vargas bought his first lottery ticket, along with gasoline and an iced tea, Saturday at a Cayce Raceway station.

His errand made history.

With the ticket, the Gaston construction worker became the first South Carolinian to win the S.C. Education Lottery Powerball Jackpot.

North Carolina residents bought the previous four winning tickets.

While Vargas won $35.3 million, he is choosing to take a lump sum of $17.3 million instead. The Airport High School graduate should have his money within two weeks, lottery officials said.

“I have a mixture of feelings. Scary. Exciting. Still shocking,” Vargas said. “I’m still telling my mother to pinch me.”

Vargas said he was working a construction job Saturday morning when “this weird feeling came over me.” He said he heard the lottery numbers in his head, jotted them on a napkin and called his mother to tell her to write them down so he could buy a ticket later that afternoon.

Vargas used the upcoming birthdays and ages of his four siblings to determine his winning numbers. His three younger siblings will turn 12, 14 and 15 this year, and his older brother will be 21. The fifth number he chose was for his mother, Patricia Richardson, who turned 43 on Sunday.

But the final Powerball number?

“Thirty was a lucky guess, I guess. It’s a blessing from God, man.”

He said he watched an 11 p.m. drawing on TV on Saturday and knew he won after the first three numbers were correct.

“I was jumping up and down.”

With the win, Vargas became one of the Midlands’ most eligible bachelors. (Patricia Richardson says her son is neither married nor in a relationship.)

Vargas intends to invest a lot of the money and go back to school, but his first purchase will be a new house for his mother, sister, three brothers and stepfather Anthony Richardson.

“We’ve been looking at houses on the Internet,” Patricia Richardson said. “We’ll buy a brand-new, big house.”

Vargas also wants to set up trust funds for his sister and brothers.

“He’s very close to his siblings,” Patricia Richardson said.

Vargas’ mother is a homemaker, and his stepfather, Anthony, 45, has been a custodian at a local hospital for five years. He declined to say which one.

“This is wild and great, and we thank God for him,” Anthony Richardson said. But how he spends the money is “his choice, his responsibility. The choices he makes, I’ll support.”

Before he starts spending his new fortune, Vargas said, he will get a lawyer and financial consultant to help him manage his millions. He’s still not sure whether he’ll keep his construction job or quit.

“I’m so young, and I just don’t want to go in the wrong direction. I have a lot of family and a lot to protect.

“So I’m not going to spend all my money. Investing is very important.”

His philosophy on how he’ll spend his money could be summed up in Psalm 41, he said.

“He who helps the poor shall be blessed.”

Reach Riddle at (803) 771-8435.

The other bad news is that Barbara has delayed her trip to New Orleans; she will be going down over the 4^th of July.

So, I’m trying to decide where to spend your $10.00. Right now Mega Million is low, it is at $12 Million. Lotto Texas is now at $16 Million. The Ohio Lottery has really gotten big; it’s now at $20,500,000.00!

Of course, I’m disconnecting the fact you could win on your last drawing. And I shouldn’t do that, because we could use the $12,100,000.00 that is up for grabs on Wednesday.

Here is what you have won since we have been playing:

Date Won	Amount Won	Running Total	Notes
04/26/2008	$3.00	$3.00
05/03/2008	$3.00	$6.00
05/03/2008	$4.00	$10.00

You have 1 more draw on your tickets. Your next drawing is on Wednesday May 28th, 2008 the Jack Pot is back to $25 Million. The Cash Option is worth $12,100,000.00. We only have 9 members but I sold 25 shares in this game.

Here is your pay out based on what you pay to get into this pool.

*Shares Purchased*	*What you would net, before any attorney fees, taxes or tithes*
1	$ 484,000.00
2	$ 968,000.00
4	$ 1,936,000.00

George Burns and Oprah Winfrey

When George Burns was 97 years old he was interviewed by Oprah Winfrey. Oprah asked, "Mr. Burns, how do you carry so much energy with you? You are always working and at your age I think that is remarkable."

George said, "I just take good care of myself and enjoy what I do when I do it."

Oprah said, "I understand you still do the sex thing, even at your age."

George said, "Of course I still do the sex thing and I am quite good at it."

Oprah said, "I have never been with an older man, would you do it with me?"

So they had sex and when they finished Oprah said, "I just don't believe I have ever been so satisfied, you are a remarkable man."

George said, "The second time is even better than the first time."

Oprah said, "You can really do it again at your age?"

George said, "Just let me sleep for 1/2 hour. You hold my testicles in your left hand and my penis in your right hand and wake me up in thirty minutes."

When she woke him up they again had great sex and Oprah was beside herself with joy.

She said, "Oh Mr. Burns, I am astounded that you could do a repeat performance and have it be better than the first time. At your age, Oh My, Oh My!!!"

George said that the third time would be even better "You just hold my testicles in your left hand and my penis in your right hand and wake me up in thirty minutes."

Oprah said, "Does me holding you like that kind of recharge your batteries?"

George said, "No, but the last time I had sex with a black gal she stole my wallet."

RE: 5th^UPDATE

Just A Mom

A woman, renewing her driver's license at the County Clerk’s office, was asked by the woman recorder to state her occupation.

She hesitated, uncertain how to classify herself.

'What I mean is, ' explained the recorder, 'do you have a job or are you just a ...?'

'Of course I have a job,' snapped the woman.

'I'm a Mom.'

'We don't list 'Mom' as an occupation, 'housewife' covers it,' said the recorder emphatically.

I forgot all about her story until one day I found myself in the same situation, this time at our own Town Hall. The clerk was obviously a career woman, poised, efficient, and possessed of a high sounding title like, 'Official Interrogator' or 'Town Registrar.'

'What is your occupation?' she probed.

What made me say it? I do not know. The words simply popped out.

'I'm a Research Associate in the field of Child Development and Human Relations.'

The clerk paused, ball-point pen frozen in midair and looked up as though she had not heard right.

I repeated the title slowly emphasizing the most significant words.

Then I stared with wonder as my pronouncement was written,

in bold, black ink on the official questionnaire.

'Might I ask,' said the clerk with new interest, 'just what you do in your field?'

Coolly, without any trace of fluster in my voice, I heard myself reply,

'I have a continuing program of research, (what mother doesn't) in the laboratory and in the field, (normally I would have said indoors and out).

I'm working for my Masters, (first the Lord and then the whole family) and already have four credits (all daughters).

Of course, the job is one of the most demanding in the humanities, (any mother care to disagree?) and I often work 14 hours a day, (24 is more like it).

But the job is more challenging than most run-of-the-mill careers and the rewards are more of a satisfaction rather than just money.'

There was an increasing note of respect in the clerk's voice as she completed the form, stood up, and personally ushered me to the door.

As I drove into our driveway, buoyed up by my glamorous new career, I was greeted by my lab assistants -- ages 13, 7, and 3.

Upstairs I could hear our new experimental model, (a 6 month old baby) in the child development program, testing out a new vocal pattern.

I felt I had scored a beat on bureaucracy! And I had gone on the official records as someone more distinguished and indispensable to mankind than 'just another Mom.'

Motherhood!

What a glorious career!

Especially when there's a title on the door.

Does this make grandmothers 'Senior Research Associates in the field of Child Development and Human Relations' and great grandmothers 'Executive Senior Research Associates?'

I think so!!!

I also think it makes Aunts ' Associate Research Assistants.'

In my last newsletter is said this: “This is my last newsletter for the day (Thank God) and by now most of you, if not all of you know that someone in South Caroline won the Jack Pot in Power Ball last night.”

Remember how I tell you all over and over, when we win, we are to tell NO ONE! Here is another good reason:

Lottery loot apparently buys ticket to anxiety

Jonathan Vargas, 19, of Gaston, speaks Monday about his experience winning last Saturday's $35 million Powerball Jackpot.">Jonathan Vargas, 19, of Gaston, speaks Monday about his experience winning last Saturday's $35 million Powerball Jackpot." v:shapes="_x0000_i1027" border="0" height="471" width="300">

Erik Campos/Ecampos@thestate.com

Jonathan Vargas, 19, of Gaston, speaks Monday about his experience winning last Saturday's $35 million Powerball Jackpot.

The Gaston 19-year-old who won a $35.3 million Powerball jackpot is looking to hire a bodyguard after friends alerted him to possible threats.

“I’ve been getting a lot of warnings from friends I trust that the word is going around people are plotting on you,” said Jonathan Vargas, who is the youngest person and only South Carolinian to claim the S.C. Education Lottery Powerball Jackpot.

North Carolinians had purchased the previous four Powerball jackpot tickets sold in South Carolina.

Vargas, a construction worker, is going to take a lump sum of $17 million.

He said he is considering making an appearance on the “Dr. Phil Show” after being contacted by one of the outspoken talk show host’s executive producers.

He is weary about the attention he has received over his instant millionaire status.

“I don’t want too much exposure in my neighborhood,” he said Wednesday.

The Airport High School graduate purchased his first lottery ticket Saturday at a Cayce Raceway station, and realized he was the big winner after watching an 11 p.m. TV newscast.

He chose the six winning numbers using the upcoming birthdays and ages of his four siblings, his mother’s age and a lucky “guess” — 12, 14, 15, 21, 43 and 30.

Vargas said Monday he wants to invest most of the money, buy a new house for his family and set up trust funds for his sister and three brothers.

God left clues . . .

A sliced Carrot looks like the human eye. The pupil, iris and radiating lines look just like the human eye...and, YES, science now shows that carrots greatly enhance blood flow to and function of the eyes.

A Tomato has four chambers and is red. The heart is red and has four chambers. All of the research shows tomatoes are indeed pure heart and blood food.

Grapes hang in a cluster that has the shape of the heart. Each grape looks like a blood cell and all of the research today shows that grapes are also profound heart and blood vitalizing food.

A Walnut looks like a little brain, a left and right hemisphere, upper cerebrums and lower cerebellums. Even the wrinkles or folds are on the nut just like the neo-cortex. We now know that walnuts help develop over 3 dozen neuron-transmitters for brain function.

Kidney Beans actually heal and help maintain kidney function and yes, they look exactly like the human kidneys.

Celery, Bok Choy, Rhubarb and more look just like bones. These foods specifically target bone strength. Bones are 23% sodium and these foods are 23% sodium. If you don't have enough sodium in your diet the body pulls it from the bones, making them weak. These foods replenish the skeletal needs of the body.

Eggplant, Avocadoes and Pears target the health and function of the womb and cervix of the female - they look just like these organs. Today's research shows that when a woman eats 1 avocado a week, it balances hormones, sheds unwanted birth weight and prevents cervical cancers. And how profound is this? .... It takes exactly 9 months to grow an avocado from blossom to ripened fruit. There are over 14,000 photolytic chemical constituents of nutrition in each one of these foods (modern science has only studied and named about 141 of them).

Figs are full of seeds and hang in twos when they grow. Figs increase the motility of male sperm and increase the numbers of sperm as well to overcome male sterility.

Sweet Potatoes look like the pancreas and actually balance the glycemic index of diabetics.

Olives assist the health and function of the ovaries.

Grapefruits, Oranges, and other Citrus fruits look just like the mammary glands of the female and actually assist the health of the breasts and the movement of lymph in and out of the breasts.

Onions look like body cells. Today's research shows that onions help clear waste materials from all of the body cells. They even produce tears which wash the epithelial layers of the eyes.

Young Player from South Carolina Claims 35.3 Million Powerball Jackpot!
The winner from the Saturday, May 17, 2008 drawing has come forward and claimed the $35.3 million jackpot. Jonathan Vargas, of Gaston, SC, claimed his Powerball® prize at the Columbia Claims Center with his mother, Patricia Richardson, and step-father, Anthony Richardson. The 19-year-old millionaire has plans to share his prize with his very proud family and invest the money.

We have no wins since I got our tickets. But the good news is that no one has won the Jack Pot, so it’s going back up.

Your Numbers:

05 35 45 50 54	19	05/07/2008 – 06/07/2008

Your next drawing is on Wednesday, May 28^th, 2008. The Jack Pot is worth $25 Million. Cash Option is showing $12,100,000.00. We have 12 members playing in this pool; however we only have 11 shares issued.

If we have the winning numbers, this is what you would gross; it does NOT include any attorney fees, taxes or tithes:

Lotto Texas Lottery Pool - Game Fourteen - 1st Update

Lotto Texas Lottery Pool - Game Fourteen

Date: 5/25/2008

From: Michael E. Porter

RE: 1st Update

Welcome to the 14^th Game of Lotto Texas!

Did you know that Game 13 went all 10 drawing without winning anything? Not even $3.00. That may have happened before, I can’t remember, but it’s been a long time.

Everyone but two people continue to play with me in this game. I lost Cordelia R. McGregor, but she comes and goes in my games. And Aaron Montgomery left us for the Die Hard Multi-Lottery Pool Game.

On a side note, the New Die Hard game that I will be opening late month or early June, will most likely start with Lotto Texas and Ohio Lottery, since those state lotteries are getting high. Both Power Ball and Mega Millions have been won. In fact, Mega Millions was won by 2 people just yesterday.

So Lotto Texas is the place to be.

Now you have all the numbers Game 13 won. Since they didn’t win on any of their numbers, I opted to play them again for another 10 draws.

But you have 2 Rejoins: Kimberly Francis and Cindy Fernandez came back to us. And we have a new person Bonnie Franks. Okay, I know that Bonnie is not new to my lottery pools, because she plays in Mega Millions and a Power Ball Pool. But, she is new to Lotto Texas! Welcome all of you and please please pray this group hits the Jack Pot.

Your game actually started yesterday. I worked on Saturday, and Bonnie brought me to Kroger, where I purchase the last of our tickets. It was my plan to do a newsletter, but guys I was so tired yesterday, I when to bed.

I had even stopped by my Post Office Box and picked up mail and checks, but I was so tired, I didn’t cash any of the checks. (I should be out tomorrow, so I will cash them then, and check your tickets.)

I didn’t sleep well last night, and I’m still tired. I don’t know if I can get out all my newsletters today or not, but I wanted to get out the ones that had tickets in them.

Right now, there is no spreadsheet, because Mac is getting this newsletter the same as you.

And I’ve not checked the numbers, so you could have money on them, but I know you didn’t win, because no one won the Jack Pot last night. But here are the numbers from last night’s drawing:

Lotto Texas Winning Numbers for 05/24/2008 were:
22 - 23 - 26 - 33 - 41 - 53
Number Correct	Prize Amount	Winners	Jackpot Option
6 of 6	$15 Million	Roll
5 of 6	$2,383	19
4 of 6	$58	1,165
3 of 6	$3	25,534
Total Winners:		26,718

Your second drawing will be on Wednesday, May 28^th, 2008. I sold 15 shares in this game ($150.00). The Jack Pot is worth $16 Million. The Cash Option is worth $9,900,000.00.

Here is what you could win, if we hold the winning numbers, this figure does NOT take into account any attorney fees, taxes or tithes:

*Shares Purchased*	*Amount you could win*
.5	$330,000.00
1	$660,000.00
*1.5*	$990,000.00

I can’t believe I have to deliver to you bad news again.

Saturday, May 24, 2008


	1:45 am - Mega Millions Jackpot Winner! There were 2 jackpot winners in the Friday, May 23, 2008 Mega Millions drawing: 1 from Illinois and 1 from New York. The winners will equally share the $17 million jackpot prize. More details to follow after the winners come forward to claim their prizes.
	Also, 6 lucky players matched the first 5 numbers for a $250,000 prize: 1 from California, 1 from Massachusetts, 2 from New Jersey, 1 from New York, and 1 from Texas. For the complete rundown of winners by prize category, a list of the California pari-mutuel prize amounts, the drawing video, and all other data about this drawing, see the Mega Millions Drawing Detail page.

Please notice that there were two winners in Friday Night’s drawing. And they won on these numbers:

Detailed results for drawing dated: 5/23/2008.

Mega Ball =

You won $12.00 on these numbers and it was on the ticket that expired that night. So you are up $12.00 in wins, but down three lines. I opted not to spend you wins, but extend your game.

Now I’m doing this for a reason. I don’t want to start Game 43 when the Jack Pot is so low. This gives everyone at Citi two more paychecks to pay to get in the next game.

And with me holding on to you wins, extending your game, you could be playing for a higher Jack Pot, too.

But, for now, you will be playing for $12 Million, we are starting over. (Yes, I’ve been depressed).

On Tuesday, May 27^th, 2008 the Jack Pot is worth $12 Million. The Cash Option is worth $7,300,000.00.

We have 35 members and 46 shares sold Depending on whether you paid $5.00 or $35.00, here is what you payout would be before any attorney fees, taxes or tithes.

*Shares Purchased*	*Amount you could win*
.5	$ 79,347.83
1	$ 158,695.65
1.5	$ 238,043.48
2	$ 317,391.30
3.5	$ 555,434.78

If we win on Tuesday, I will not be unhappy with the $500,000.00. But you all know I was hoping for a larger Jack Pot.

But you can win all you like; we will have more to play on once these tickets expire.

RE: 15th^UPDATE

This week's promise: He's alive!

The song of triumph has begun

For sin is the sting that results in death, and the law gives sin its power. How we thank God, who gives us victory over sin and death through Jesus Christ our Lord!

1 Corinthians 15:56 NLT

The strife is o'er—the battle done, the victory of life is won; the song of triumph has begun: Alleluia!

The three sad days have quickly sped, He rises glorious from the dead; all glory to our risen Head! Alleluia!

The Strife is O'er
Latin Hymn Symphonia Serenum Selectarum, 1695

God exercised His power on our behalf

Note the pattern of this hymn: negative undone, positive done, our response. In each triad we see first the forces of evil that tried to conquer Christ but were beaten. Then we see a more positive expression of what has occurred. Christ had won, He rises, He opens heaven and frees slaves. Finally, we respond with songs and shouts of joy: Alleluia!

The richness of the text was matched by the majesty of the music, written by the sixteenth-century composer Giovanni de Palestrina. He was a devout Roman Catholic who created many wonderful scared works still used in churches and secular settings. This tune was adapted from a "Gloria Patri" in one of his choral works. It first appeared with Francis Pott's translation of this Latin text in 1861.

The Bible describes the work of Christ in many different ways, and the Christian writers through the ages have elaborated on all these ideas. God exercised His power on our behalf when He raised Christ from the dead. Death has no ultimate power over us because we are risen with Christ. Alleluia!

Our "Resurrection Week" readings are adapted from The One Year® Book of Hymns by Mark Norton and Robert Brown, Tyndale House Publishers (1995). Today's is taken from the entry for April 10.

Content is derived from the Holy Bible, New Living Translation and other publications of Tyndale Publishing House

Mega Ball =

You won nothing on Tuesday, but on Friday as you lose one line, you won $8.00.

Results for your numbers: 3 - 26 - 38 - 43 - 45 (4). How To Play Mega Millions

Matched	Prize	Date	Numbers Drawn	(Mega Ball)
0 of 5 w/Mega Ball	$2	05/23/2008	4 - 8 - 11 - 22 - 30	(4)	Megaplier 4X

Here is what I said in my last newsletter: Remember how I educated you on my last newsletter; telling how long it would take for Mega Ball 26 would come up again? Charley (Charles W. Rutherford) is always telling me that the Balls have no memory. In other words, 04, has an equal chance of coming up as 26 does again on Tuesday.

Can you believe I said that, and then 04 comes up as the Mega Ball?

You still have one line that will expired after the drawing on Tuesday May 27^th, 2008, but I didn’t wait until after the drawing because we won on this ticket I just purchased, and I think we could continue to win if I continue to purchase tickets.

I’ve been telling Sheila from day one, I had special feelings for this game, and still with only two lines my feelings have not changed.

Here is your numbers, and this game is now extended to June 6^th, 2008.

Mega Millions Numbers	Mega Ball	Dates Valid	Notes
09 21 25 49 52	26	05/13/08 – 05/20/08	Expired

06 09 14 32 33	33	05/27/2008 – 06/06/2008	New

Do you know you have been playing since Tuesday March 18^th, 2008! If you win anymore, you could be playing for 3 months! You have already passed the 2 month mark.

Now this game started out as a Kentucky Power Ball Lottery Pool, with shares priced at $26. I was never able to get the money to Kentucky, so I opted to buy Mega Million tickets because the Jack Pot was getting high. I made it, and stuck with it, a Megaplier game.

Here is something of interest from your 1^st Newsletter:

Your game starts tomorrow, Tuesday March 18^th, 2008 and our last drawing is on Friday April 18^th, 2008.

Our first drawing is worth $69 Million. The Cash Option is worth $43,600,000.00. There were 10 shares sold in this game. Here is what you could win before any attorney fees, taxes or tithes:

Shares Purchased	Amount you could win
2.5	$ 10,900,000.00
1	$ 4,360,000.00
.5	$ 2,180,000.00

You saw someone in Ohio win the $196 Million Jack Pot. You saw the Jack Pot reset to $12 Million.

I told you that story so I could tell you this:

Winning Tickets From 5/23/2008 Were Sold:

Match 5 + 1 Jackpot Winners: Illinois(1) and
New York(1).

Match 5 + 0: Winners in California(1),
Massachusetts(1), New Jersey(2), New York(1) and
Texas(1).

Estimated Jackpot for 05/27/2008 : $12,000,000.00

There were two winners in Friday Night’s drawing. One in Illinois and one in New York.

So once again you get to see this Jack Pot reset to $12 Million.

Your next drawing is on Tuesday, May 27th, 2008 and is worth $12 Million. The Cash Option is worth $7,300,000.00. There were 10 shares sold in this game. Here is what you could win before any attorney fees, taxes or tithes:

Shares Purchased	Amount you could win
2.5	$ 1,825,000.00
1	$ 730,000.00
.5	$ 365,000.00

If God wants this game to win the $12 Million, I will be happy with my $1,825,000.00 winnings. I would really like to see us win on at least on one of our lines, and me buy this game more tickets. I really would like to see this game extend beyond the 3 months, and then win the Jack Pot.

But, I will take it Tuesday and offered no complaints to God.

Here is a list of new games coming up:

Johnny the Grocery Store Bagger

If you have a minute, please watch the following video clip. It’s a beautiful story of Johnny, the grocery store bagger. It is very short, but it will remind you of why and how we make an impact in what we do. You may even want to share it with others & I hope you will. Make Their Day, too!

It's amazing how one young Down's Syndrome bagger made such a wonderful impact on those customers lucky enough to have Johnny bag their groceries! Go to: http://www.stservicemovie.com/

I have read the story you saw above several times, but the video is so much better.

Obedient Wife

There was a man who had worked all of his life, had saved all of his money, and was a real miser when it came to his money. Just before he died, he said to his wife, "When I die, I want you to take all my money and put it in the casket with me. I want to take my money to the afterlife with me."

And so he got his wife to promise him with all of her heart that when he died, she would put all of the money in the casket with him.

Well, he died. He was stretched out in the casket, his wife was sitting there in black, and her friend was sitting next to her. When they finished the ceremony, just before the undertakers got ready to close the casket, the wife said, "Wait just a minute!"

She had a box with her; she came over with the box and put it in the casket.

Then the undertakers locked the casket down, and they rolled it away.

So her friend said, "Girl, I know you weren't fool enough to put all that money in there with your husband."

The loyal wife replied," Listen, I'm a Christian, I can't go back on my word. I promised him that I was going to put that money in that casket with him."

You mean to tell me you put that money in the casket with him!!!!?"

"I sure did," said the wife. "I got it all together, put it into my account and wrote him a check. If he can cash it, he can spend it."

Subject: research has revealed

After an exhaustive review of the research literature, here's the final word on nutrition and health:

1. Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than us.

2. Mexicans eat a lot of fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than us.

3. Chinese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than us.

4. Italians drink excessive amounts of red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than us.

5. Germans drink beer and eat lots of sausages and fats and suffer fewer heart attacks than us.

CONCLUSION: Eat and drink what you like. Speaking English is apparently what kills you.

"True" Friendship

None of that Sissy Crap

Are you tired of those sissy "friendship" poems that always sound good, but never actually come close to reality?

Well, here is a series of promises that actually speak of true friendship.

You will see no cutesy little smiley faces on this card- just the stone cold truth of our great friendship.

1. When you are sad -- I will help you get drunk and plot revenge against the sorry bastard who made you sad.

2. When you are blue -- I will try to dislodge whatever is choking you.

3. When you smile -- I will know you are plotting something that I must be involved in.

4. When you are scared -- I will rag on you about it every chance I get.

5. When you are worried -- I will tell you horrible stories about how much worse it could be until you quit whining.

6. When you are confused -- I will use little words.

7. When you are sick -- Stay the hell away from me until you are well again. I don't want whatever you have.

8. When you fall -- I will point and laugh at your clumsy ass.

9. This is my oath.... I pledge it to the end. "Why?" you may ask; "because you are my friend".

Friendship is like peeing your pants, everyone can see it,

But only you can feel the true warmth.

Thanks for being the pee in my Pants!!!

Send this to 10 of your closest friends,

Then get depressed because you can only think of 4.

Quote of the Day

Marriage is a great institution, but I'm not ready for an institution yet. - Mae West, US movie actress (1892 - 1980)

Get ready for some bad news. Here are the numbers for last night’s drawing:

Draw Date	Powerball
5/17/2008	12	14	15	21	43	30
x 3

And we won not a dime last night. However that is not true for everyone. It seems this Jack Pot was won by someone, or some group in South Caroline. I wrote on one of my many newsletters that I was unaware that South Caroline even played in PowerBall.

Of course we still have the $10.00 you see below. My plans are to send your $10.00 with Barbara J. Sykes to New Orleans on her trip for Memorial Day to get you one ticket for 10 more draws. I would like for you to win at least another $10 so you could have one 20 draw ticket.

Here is what you have won since we have been playing:

Date Won	Amount Won	Running Total	Notes
04/26/2008	$3.00	$3.00
05/03/2008	$3.00	$6.00
05/03/2008	$4.00	$10.00

You have 3 more draws on your tickets. Your next drawing is on Wednesday May 21st, 2008 the Jack Pot is back to $15 Million. The Cash Option is worth $7,300,000.00. We only have 9 members but I sold 25 shares in this game.

Here is your pay out based on what you pay to get into this pool.

The Visitor

An old, tired-looking dog wandered into the yard. I could tell from his collar and well-fed belly that he had a home. He followed me into the house, down the hall, and fell asleep in a corner.

An hour later, he went to the door, and I let him out.

The next day he was back, resumed his position in the hall, and slept for an hour.

This continued for several weeks.

Curious, I pinned a note to his collar: "Every afternoon your dog comes to my house for a nap."

The next day he arrived with a note of reply pinned to his collar:

"He lives in a home with ten children -- he's trying to catch up on his sleep.

Can I come with him tomorrow?"

RE: 4th^UPDATE

BENEFITS OF PEROXIDE

I knew some of these, but am pleasantly surprised to discover some new uses for peroxide.

he health benefits of peroxide.

This was written by Becky Ransey of Indiana

“I would like to tell you of the benefits of that plain little old bottle of 3% peroxide you can get for under $1.00 at any drug store. My husband has been in the medical field for over 36 years, and most doctors don't tell you about peroxide, or they would lose thousands of dollars."

1. Take one capful (the little white cap that comes with the bottle) and hold in your mouth for 10 minutes daily, then spit it out. (I do it when I bathe)

No more canker sores and your teeth will be whiter without expensive pastes. Use it instead of mouthwash. (Small print says mouth wash and gargle right on the bottle)

2. Let your toothbrushes soak in a cup of "Peroxide" to keep them free of germs.

3. Clean your counters, table tops with peroxide to kill germs and leave a fresh smell. Simply put a little on your dishrag when you wipe,

or spray it on the counters.

4. After rinsing off your wooden cutting board, pour peroxide on it to kill salmonella and other bacteria.

5. I had fungus on my feet for years - until I sprayed a 50/50 mixture of peroxide and water on them (especially the toes) every night and let dry.

6. Soak any infections or cuts in 3% peroxide for five to ten minutes several times a day. My husband has seen gangrene that would not heal with any medicine, but was healed by soaking in peroxide.

8. Fill a spray bottle with a 50/50 mixture of peroxide and water and keep it in every bathroom to disinfect without harming your septic system like bleach or most other disinfectants will.

9. Tilt your head back and spray into nostrils with your 50/50 mixture whenever you have a cold, or plugged sinuses. It will bubble and help to kill the bacteria. Hold for a few minutes then blow your nose into a tissue.

10. If you have a terrible toothache and cannot get to a dentist right away, put a capful of 3% peroxide into your mouth and hold it for ten minutes several times a day. The pain will lessen greatly.

11. And of course, if you like a natural look to your hair, spray the 50/50 solution on your wet hair after a shower and comb it through.

You will not have the peroxide burnt blonde hair like the hair dye packages, but more natural highlights if your hair is a light brown, faddish, or dirty blonde. It also lightens gradually so it's not a drastic change.

12. Put half a bottle of peroxide in your bath to help rid boils, fungus, or other skin infections.

13. You can also add a cup of peroxide instead of bleach to a load of whites in your laundry to whiten them. If there is blood on clothing, pour directly on the soiled spot. Let it sit for a minute, then rub it and rinse with cold water. Repeat if necessary.

14. I use peroxide to clean my mirrors with, and there is no smearing which is why I love it so much for this.

I could go on and on. It is a little brown bottle no home should be without! With prices of most necessities rising, I'm glad there's a way to save tons of money in such a simple, healthy manner.

Send on to others who might need to know the benefits of 3% peroxide

This is my last newsletter for the day (Thank God) and by now most of you, if not all of you know that someone in South Caroline won the Jack Pot in Power Ball last night.

Now for you this could be good news. You still have 16 more drawings on your tickets. So you will see the Jack Pot climb back to over $100 Million before you game is over. By the way, you’re my only game that will get to see that. And that statement is true, until the tickets are purchased for Louisiana Power Ball Lottery Pool – Game Six, which will open the end of this month.

Always Wear Clean Underwear

Always wear clean underwear in public, especially when working under your vehicle. From the Northwest Florida Daily News comes this story of a Crestview couple who drove their car to Walmart, only to have their car break down in the parking lot.

The man told his wife to carry on with the shopping while he fixed the car in the lot. The wife returned later to see a small group of people near the car. On closer inspection, she saw a pair of male legs protruding from under the chassis. Although the man was in shorts, his lack of underwear turned private parts into glaringly public ones.

Unable to stand the embarrassment, she dutifully stepped forward, quickly put her hand UP his shorts, and tucked everything back into place. On regaining her feet, she looked across the hood and found herself staring at her husband who was standing idly by.

The mechanic, however, had to have three stitches in his forehead.
