While Amy, Bern and Ed were making millions/blacking out in Vegas, I held down the lotto fort in NY. This was probably the most number matches that we have gotten so far. I actually got nervous when the first two numbers were matches!

Message from Bern (Bird)

This week's tickets were bought at Bluebird liquor. It's ghetto but they've produced multiple winning tickets! The second picture is of their ceiling - they have all the winners posted on there and soon we will join them.

Pool People

I thought I would make a list of all of the people who are in our weekly NY Mega Million and Powerball pool and our California Lotto contingent.

In no particular order except alphabetical:

Amy Ross
Bern Dalo
Daniel Arnold
Ed Praditpol

Friday Night: $2 Winner!

Chrissmith is good ruck.

Expiration Dates: I gamble and then I hoard

Scratchers I buy I cash in.  Scratchers given to me fester in my bedroom. On my bedside and in my drawers and forgotten pockets, they lurk. I cant imagine I'm any different from any other scratch off player, so I'm assuming I'm not the only one who drags their feet.  For me its about the rush of the scratch rather than the money.  I like to feel that coin, fresh off a win, hot in my hand.  I actually think cashing in is a little embarrassing.  Ummmmm! THEY HAVE A SEPARATE MACHINE FOR IT!

What I'm trying to say is, I have twenty dollars worth of winners on my desk I need to cash in.  That's them (pictured) - that's the pile of them and I feel apprehensive about throwing down a zillion breeds of scratchers on a bodega counter and claiming my earnings.  I'm worried I'm going to feel like an addict.  Like that woman missing teeth who abuses her dog and is always in the Rite Aid.  I'm worried someone might perceive me as her. 

Part of me hopes they expire.  HELP!
