Let the games begin.

Please, Please, Please let it be us!

Patrick, I have faith that springs eternal with each drawing. lol
But if this doesn't work this week, maybe next drawing (as an experiment) we should each submit a set of numbers.

Larry and I always play:
8-10-18-23-34-36

Because we met on 10/23, which was my mom's b'day. And we married on 8/18, which is his mom's b'day. And I was 34 and he was 36 when we met. Cheesy, I know. He believes those are our winning numbers in any lottery, anywhere. I say it's all chance, but I'm a cover all my bases person. lol

The winning numbers were 07 12 36 48 54-37 not us yet.

Just to give us all some hope... I actually work with some folks in my building who won BIG in the Ohio Lottery about 10 years ago. They all get $40,000-ish per year for a bazillion years I think. They all still work except for two. I think there were 9 of them in all who won.

So keep thinking positive people !!!

Ok...more positive hope...I know (indirectly) two people who have won the lottery. The father of a guy I went to high school with won a couple million dollars in the Illinois lottery. Also, one of the guys who owned a breakfast place we used to go to regularly won a few million. It can happen!

If you want to play a set of numbers in the drawing let me know right away. That way i have a couple of days to make that happen. More work but for my friends it's worth it. Please just one set per person. Jake here your chance, give me a set of numbers you would like played. We will play them for a couple of drawings to see how that works out. Just remember 1-55 for the first set of 5 numbers and then 1-42 for the powerball number.

Here's my semi-random number set to play:

7 8 25 31 41 + 20

Jake

4 9 14 19 30 + 25

Sort of semi-random (I closed my eyes and that's what came to me)

come on baby, let's win!

ok if we are doing that....

Well here we go again. daddy needs a new pair of shoes.

Hi Patrick ~ Thanks for keeping this going. Nobody has won yet because they are increasing the winnings just for us! If we win, we will have to secretly plan to meet on Bonaire for the check presentation. (I wonder if they will travel out of the US?) If not, we will have to find a central location for everyone to meet. Boy, wouldn't that make for a good news story..."A group of people from around the world won the lottery...all done via a message board!"

Greta I like the way you think. That would be a wonderful BT mini-meet. I bet we could at least get them to the US Virgin Islands for the presentation or maybe Puerto Rico.

The winning numbers were: 02 14 24 28 54-13, not us yet. Just letting the money build up.

Hey Tribs ~ I thought about it being a BT mini-meet on the island but quickly came to the conclusion that I don't think it would be so "mini". If they won't go to Bon, I say let's just gather in the states and charter our own plane to Bon. Forget about meeting at some other island that won't live up to what we've become accustomed to on Bonaire.

Hey Greta are you trying to stir up the indians or what.lol ;-)

Hi Patrick ~ LOL! Just planning ... I'm a big planner thinking positive and getting ready for the big one.

Greta, I like the way you think!
