First winning of this round

I checked the numbers from this round. We have won $38. The best part: when the machine scans the tickets and detects winning numbers, it plays the first bars of the tune "We're in the Money!" There were also $3 in winnings from the last round. I am making an executive decision to roll that money into the additional winning from this round. So, for now we have $41 extra to invest in February when the current tickets run out.

A humorous interlude

From an on-line cartoon I follow:

Two stragglers

Judith C. and Marion P. both joined the cause today, and since the first drawing on the other tickets is tonight, they are on the same schedule as the rest of us.

And below is the most recent set of lucky numbers:

And here are the tickets I bought

Don't they just look lucky?

The future winners of Winter 2009

Thanks to Joan's efforts (and mine), we have a record number of "investors" this round. I have just returned from the corner newsagent with $1,196 worth of lottery tickets. That's $26 x 46 players. If you're being particular, it's only 45 players, as Ilene S. bought one for herself and one for her brother, Elizabeth G. bought one for herself and one for her grandchildren, and Amy S. and Madelon R. are sharing a share.

So, who is on the honor roll?

From the 11th floor, in no particular order: Robert A., Susan C., Tim D., Sylvia F., Sharon Fr., Janet G., Michelle G., Effie G., Elizabeth G., Deena G., Steve H., Jean K., Felicia R., Ilene S., Joan S., Irwin S., Mary V., Regina M., Marilyn R. and Sharon Fi. (welcome aboard to those last two).

From the 10th floor: Linda A., Susan B., Linda D., Randi E., Ethan F., Julie J., Peter H., Regina K., Carolyn K., Viv L., Steve L., Linda M., Mark M., Len M., Gillian S., Amy S., Madelon R., Michelle S., Christopher S. (me!), Evonne T., Neil T., Susan V., Scott K., Laura F., and Sue Z. (welcome to these last three).

Good luck to us all!

The last tickets from the summer round. For real this time.

So I cashed in the last tickets as shown in the last post. We won $4. I added this to the $13 I had left over from the last round and bought these tickets. If we win big on these tickets, the big winners will be the folks who were in the summer round, not the new folks who just joined up this month. Just to be clear.

The last tickets from the summer round

These will last us until Thanksgiving. Insert harvest metaphor here:
