And yet more winnings

We won yet another $23. Hooray! I turned it around and invested the remainder of our winnings in a ticket that will last us through June 12.

Another $11 closer to being millionaires

I did a check on our investment a few weeks ago, and we won another $11. We're rich! Well, almost. In any case, I reinvested our winnings, and I have scanned in the latest tickets. Peruse them below and keep your fingers crossed.

Numbers

It dawns on me that I have yet to post the numbers we played. Behold, through the magic of scanning, here they are.

We're winners.

Well, of course we are all winners one way or another, but specifically, since our investment in late February, we have won $32. With the upcoming fare increases, that equals more than ten rides on the subway! Since we would have to draw straws as to who gets to go, I'm simply going to re-invest the cash, which not a bad bet, since the jackpot is over $100 million right now.

More future millionaires, and a purchase is made

I'd like to welcome a few more ALJ future millionaires: Michelle G., Judith C., Elizabeth G., Sharon F., Effie G. and Irwin S. at DOH, and Viv. L. at ECB. Good luck to us all.

And yes, I have purchased the tickets, and I will scan them in as soon as I get back. Where am I? Abu Dhabi. Yep, I can see the Gulf from my window, through the sandy haze. I remembered to buy the tickets right before I left (checklist: get cash, buy bagels for my hosts, pick up trousers from the cleaners, buy lottery tickets. Check!). See you all when I get back, by which time I expect we will all be rich beyond our wildest imagination. Or that we will be, soon after.

More future millionaires

We have five more participants in our "investment": At DOH, Jeane K., Deena G. and Susan B., and at ECB, Gillian S. and Carolyn K. I got notes from two more people at DOH when I got back from jury duty on Friday, so I will hold off on making our investment until I collect from them (yes, I said no extensions, but I'm not a complete jerk, either). In the meantime, the jackpot has gone up to over $140 million, so this is a delay I can live with.

Can you feel the excitement?

It's almost time to make our investment, and the atmosphere is practically turbocharged with anticipation. I'm not quite sure what that means, but it sounds good, right?

So, who will be sharing in the big jackpot that will inevitably be coming our way? A first prize of sorts goes to Sylvia F. (DOH), who contributed to the pool before I even got around to asking. Following her, in no particular order are: Ilene S. of DOH, who also got a share for her brother Allen; Susan C. (DOH); Regina K., Jay L., Linda D., Linda A., Randi E., Ethan F., Neil T., Steve H., Joan S., Susan V., Steve L., Linda M., Peter H., Evonne T., the team of Amy S. and Madelon R. and yours truly, Christopher S. (ECB).

As a reminder, I will be collecting through Friday, so if you want to join up, speak now, etc. I will be on 10 on Thursday and on 11 on Friday.
