Today is the Day (again)

Today is November 2, 2011 and I plan to win the lottery. Tonight's win isn't just for me, though. This week I've seen several friends who are down on their luck and I would certainly help them out. One person's husband left her and she has three kids. Needs a place to stay and help with bills. Another person is losing his house and his kids' rental properties, all tied together. And another whose car is parked downtown where it broke down yesterday, waiting to get it towed and looked at, but pretty sure he needs a new different car.
Just a smattering of the people who need a little help. Don't worry, I'd spend a little on me. But I would love to be able to help these and some others. Let's all do the happy dance.

still not there

Still not a winner, winner, chicken dinner. Must focus.

Can't Get There From Here

You can do a lot of things, but you can't get there from here.
Simply, you need to line things up to reach a destination. If you want to reach the stars or the moon, you have to go for it. Sitting around will not get 'r done.

Today

Well, the best sign for today is that things just didn't work out any other time today. So, in fairness, my luck should turn and I'll be blessed. Woo-Hoo!

Today Could Be The Day

Well, tomorrow from today, but Saturday 05/28/2011 is the real day. Lottery time. Time to dance and plan for the future! A little disappointed I didn't win on Wednesday when the signs were abounding. But it may have been my own undoing. I saw several Porsches (dream car, oh-yeah) and the pot was large enough. And I even found $1 outside a client's restaurant. I took the dollar inside and, without even thinking, gave it to her. You crazy? That dollar was probably the lucky one, and now it's going into a vending machine somewhere for a Diet Coke. Anyway, that wasn't the dollar for me. Need to line up and get in it to win it for Saturday.

Nothing

Nothing going on. Just waiting until the pot gets larger. Maybe I'll pick up some scratch-offs. Naa.

$244 Million

Oh yeah. $244 Million should work out pretty good.
Or even $101 Million.
Should be a good week.

In It To Win It

Alright. Today's jackpot was at $290M last night, increased to $330M this morning, and by the time I was able to go get a play, it was and is $355 Million. Whoa. That's life-changing money right there. But it almost didn't happen for me today. See, I am a little short on the cash right now after spending a wonderful weekend with the family. So, my wallet had $2 in it and I had to park in the garage today, which means more money. I had to have $10 to play (to match my partner Big Money's $5 pledge)and didn't know how it would work out. I try to keep a 20 in the car "just in case" and today was the day to use it to get out of the garage. The fee was $8 and she gave me $10 and $2 in quarters! Perfect! The $10 I needed came to me. I told her such and she said to remember her. If I didn't, she'd be on Oprah or Jerry Springer talking about her baby's daddy. LOL. Anyway, all it takes is one, and I've got 10. Should be more than enough.
Plus, as an added sign, I've had a dream for a long time that 1-11 would be the winner for me. I didn't know that meant January 2011, but that's too cool! I was wrong about winning the last draw of 2010. It was the first draw of 2011.
Look for me tomorrow. I'll be the good-looking guy with a big grin. Woo-Hoo.
Plus, plus. I found another store called "Luckys." Used to be my favorite stop when it was called Rays. Here's to old times.

Signs

Sign of the day was simply hearing the Tesla song "Signs" playing on the radio on the return trip from Jacksonville. Now, just need to get some tickets.

OMG

OMG, the pot thickens! To the tune of $290 Million smackeroos. After taxes and cash value, that's well over $100 Million. Life-changing moolah, huh? I'm all over that cash! Oh-yeah. So, what signs have been offered up? The coolest one came from the convenience store clerk Saturday morning when I was gassing up the mini. I saw on the monitor that the jackpot had increased so I said, "Looks like I didn't win last night" and she says to me, "It's rolling over for you to win Tuesday, honey" as I went out the door. Shoot, I shoulda bought from her right then and there. But I think she's right, and I'll buy her some nice stuff come Wednesday, that's for sure. Another sign of good luck (maybe not lottery, though) came today riding in the mini with my real honey. She was commenting on "weird" newer band names that didn't make any sense, like Foo Fighters and GooGoo Dolls and I said, "yeah like Alan Parsons Project." Then, the next song on the radio happened to be an Alan Parsons Project song, "Games People Play" (which could also refer to lotteries, ahem). That's what I'm talking about!
