Today at PLC we talked about family. Specifically we talked about family members who would never find out if we WON BIG. Three of us were in this conversation and each of us had at least one family member who was a “taker”, to put it kindly. I had a relative who actually said to…

Lotteryist Week 31
I was standing in line at Personal Lottery Central, minding my own business, making sure I stayed on the “Stay 6’ apart” sticker on the floor. “Hey!” The guy leaving the store turned from the door and walked toward me. “Hey!” He called out, grinning like I was a long-lost relative. “How’s it going? Haven’t…
Lotteryist Week 30
So, a few weeks ago one Powerball ticket won over $799 million! One ticket! One person won all that money! Is anyone surprised it wasn’t me? To be true, it was a Monday draw and I only do the Saturday draw. Even so, it bugged me that the power number was MY power number. In…
Lotteryist Week 29
This week the same clerk as last week was at PLC. I told her she hadn’t done a good enough job putting in my numbers. I didn’t win so I couldn’t buy her that cup of coffee I promised. I told her to do a better job of entering my lottery slip this week. She…
Lotteryist Week 28
This week I played the wrong lottery game. Instead of Powerball, I did Megaball. It totally messed up the “scientific” method thing that I have pretended I have going. The rules are same game using the same numbers, ticket bought at the same Personal Lottery Central on the same day of the week. Playing the…
Lotteryist Week 27
So begins the second half of this weekly (or bi-weekly, of monthly, or bi-monthly) exercise. Let us see how regularly, (or let me be honest – irregularly), I write these next 26 blogs. I must say right now I am pretty content with life. I always have plenty to eat. I always have a place…
Lotteryist Week 26
The first few weeks I went to my PLC I was sooooo embarrassed. Lotterying seemed such a foolish thing. I could not bear the thought that someone I knew would see me doing such a wasteful thing. Wasting money on the lottery was something close to shameful. In my puritanical mind, it was as bad…
Lotteryist Week 25
“A blog about playing the lottery? Every week the same – lost again. What else will there ever be to say? Talk about boring!” My friend was not very excited when I told him about this blog. And I have to give him credit for nailing the “lost again” part of this enterprise. But this…
Lotteryist Week 24
This week Superstition slithered its way into my lottery experience. I was away from home until late Saturday afternoon, so I rushed to PLC as I drove into town. The parking lot was empty, which I found unusual but thought, “Good, this won’t take long and I can get a snack while I’m here, because…
Lotteryist Week 23 Another new clerk helped me this week. I always enjoy meeting new clerks. I enjoy watching them learn how to do the lottery thing. I get to have this joy a lot because there is a huge turnover at my PLC. I’m guessing huge turnovers are a fact of life at local…
