Lucky break.

[spear]

Didn't tell y'all that a couple of weeks ago I was at my local club watching the Keno numbers coming and going on the screen. Now I know this game is all about luck and chance, but I started to see a trend in numbers clumping together in blocks. So I thought - "What the heck. See what change I have in my pocket and pick 6 numbers. You never know." Found $3, so I took 3 $1 games with the same 6 numbers for each game. Blocked 27 28 36 37 38 and 39. You're never going to guess what happened.

 

You got it. $1,800 there and then.

 

Spent it already.

 

That was about the third time I'd ever played the game, and haven't been tempted since.

Now that's an Economic Stimulus Package!!

So Spear, what did you buy for the bike???

Congrats on your winnings.

 

Luck seems to just drip off of some people but not me. I friend of mine stopped on his way home to get some gas and decided to get a scratch off ticket. Put it in his pocket and went on his merry way towards home. His wife called him and asked him to pick up something at the store on his way. So being the good husband he is he stopped and got what she wanted and decided to pick up another ticket at that store.

 

Well, he got home and later that evening scratched off the tickets. The two tickets he bought were both $10,000.00 winners. What are the odds he would buy two tickets from two different stores within 3 miles from each other within 10 minutes and both would be big winners.

Congrat's Spear. Hope you got something good for the bike with that. Or whatever you wanted.

I have played the same three sets of numbers ever since Powerball started in West virginia. Never missed a time. Having my daughter pick them up when I' m out of state this week. I did win a 100 bucks once and every once in a while 3 or 4. This thing owes me!! If I hit it the Meet& Eat in West By God is going to be something you don't want to miss....

Hi Margaret.

Bought a digital video camera that I can mount to the bike to record some rides.

Bought my wife a 9ct gold fob chain for her up-coming birthday (super special price through my brother who's a jeweller).

Haven't bought anything for the bike. It doesn't need anything!

Put the rest in the bank - for the time being. But I'm thinking on it!
