Lottery update

I stopped playing. I realized the chances of winning are really low. But I do check it on occasion to see if my numbers ever show up. I will be in one sour mood if they ever do show up since I am not playing. It's too much hard work to get to a store and play the lottery every week, every drawing. It's not such an easy thing to do 2 times a week. That's why I've stopped. Maybe when I move to midtown, I'll have more free time and will choose one shop to go to every week.

Mega Millions is at 45 Million Dollars. It's hard to buy a lotto ticket every time it's played.

Since I went to Boston, I missed out last time and sure enough I picked the Mega Ball number so I could have won $2, I also picked another one of their numbers so it was slightly higher than that. Oh well. I have to buy it religiously.
