Jackpot Continues to Climb, Summer Pool?

No one won the jackpot this past Saturday which now climbs to an estimated $26 million cash payout - so the lottery pool is in for this Wednesday's draw.

Member payments and banked balances are up to date. Click on the "Pool Financials" link to the right for more information.

We have $45 left over from past earnings. I will continue the incremental increased contribution of those funds to each drawing to buy extra picks for the pool. The pool is currently having it's best winning streak in it's history. We've won in 5 of the last 6 of our participation drawings and added over $100 to our future pick purchases. I'm extremely pleased with this performance since it clearly beats the odds if each one of us participated individually in the pool with the same amount of money.

Start thinking about possible summer participation in the pool. Our family doesn't plan to take a major trip this year so I'll probably continue running the pool during that time if there are enough of us willing to make it worth our while. 6 weeks of participation would cost approximately $30 banked for $5 members and $12 banked for $2 members. We'll look at exact costs when that time gets closer.
