Pool Luck Runs Low....We blanked AGAIN!

Out of 81 picks we got zilch on the draw this Wednesday evening.

The spreadsheet correctly predicted that the greatest chance of the even-odd spread on the white balls would be 3 even 2 odd. So 29 of our picks were that flavor. It also got the sum of the first five in the right range (128). We had 8 picks that got two numbers right in different combinations - but the randomization just didn't pick up that third or fourth number we needed for a win. Oddly, we blanked on the powerball too - even though the spreadsheet did pick it as one of the 21 possibilities for a pick. Again, it just didn't get picked up in the randomized sort. Sorry folks, but that's the way the balls bounce (literally.)

All fall break proceeds have now been used up - so if the nobody wins the jackpot this Saturday - we'll need to collect participation dues for next Wednesday's draw which could be well over $100 million by then.

There are a few members who do have banked funds remaining from previous payments. Those members will need not tender dues. Check in with me, if you aren't sure who you are.
