Ugh!

Singer songwriter Jerry Reed once declared in the 70s, "When You Hot, You Hot..." and as the song goes on to tell the tale of bad luck, "When you not, you not..." That song would be an appropriate anthem for the pool the past few weeks... We blanked again on tonight's drawing. It's really a bummer because if you look back at the past drawings these number sets would have won us something on a TON of past drawings...except THIS one of course!

More bad news...someone in New Mexico won the jackpot. So just about the time school let's out, the pot should be back within our suggested range of participation. Interested? Let me know and we'll plan accordingly.

Double *Ouch* Night

We blanked on tonight's draw only getting a couple of pairs of white ball numbers right in a set - but missing on any match of the powerball. That equals...no dice. The sum of the first five was under our lower limit, plus there was 4 even and 1 odd whiteball - that didn't help either since we went with the past majority 3/2 or 2/3 even / odd spread on the whiteballs.

Unfortunately, I have more bad news. We didn't win anything on the April 25th draw as I had originally reported. Here's what I think happened. The software that allows me to check our numbers - also allows you to compare your picks with previous drawings. I must have had our April 25th picks set for a different date - and they happened to come up winners for that particular date. When I went to check our tickets today to see which ones I would bring to the QT to cash in our $28 I couldn't find any winners - so that's what lead me to trace down the error. Sorry about that folks.

There is some good news however....the powerball site is already reporting nobody else won the jackpot either - so it's at the $53 million dollar mark now. If nobody wins Saturday we'll be ready to give er' another shot!

All member payments and bank balances are up to date. Click on the "Pool Financials" link to the right. Note that if the column after your name says "Paid" - you're good to go for the drawing date at the TOP of that column. The next column shows whether you are a $2 or a $5 member. The column after that shows what you did pay for the upcoming drawing. The next column is your banked balance AFTER subtracting any payment for the next drawing.
