There's a Tug on My Lotto #s

Earlier this month I wrote a Blog entry that was read by at least two people that I know. Two people that mean a lot to me.

Sometimes I'm a believer in numbers and signs leading to luck. That night after finding out they read it I played their birthdates as Pick 4 numbers. Didn't work.

I added in some more birthdays into the latest big Powerball choice of numbers. Didn't work. Figures, I rarely every play the Powerball and Mega Millions.

However, I am more likely to play the Lotto. Saturday's jackpot of 5.75 million for Lotto is considered moderately high, so I decided to fill out a playcard with certain numbers. Six birthdates on one line and another certain number associated to them on the other line. All for $1.

The six birthdates were: 01-09-11-14-27-28
The six other numbers were: 01-02-09-23-24-35

Saturday's numbers for Lotto came in as follows: 10-12-14-28-35

I worked at Shell last night and went to print out the numbers from the machine as I usually do at 10:10. I looked at the Lotto offering and had to stare at it for a while.

I only matched two numbers on the birthdate line (14 and 28) and was two numbers away (if 09 would have been 10, and if 11 would have been 12) from getting four-of-six numbers for a ~$30 prize.

What made me stare at this even more was the presence of 14 and 28. These two birthdate days represented the second half of Pick 4 numbers I mentioned at the beginning of this entry.

And any day I can hit 35 correctly is a good day.

I didn't win anything today, but this draw sure caught my attention!
