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!
