Well, how about that! I got two of the numbers right (31 and 38). Unfortunately, I do not qualify for any prizes from getting just two of the numbers right.
The lonely pigeon. As I walked to the liquor store to buy my Megabucks
ticket for Wednesday, October 27, 2004, I saw a gray pigeon strutting in a
fenced-in corner of lawn. Two of the four directions it could go in were open and
free for it to take off and fly away, but the other two ... South and East ...
were constrained by the neatly painted fence. It strutted about, as if North
and West were not enough choices for it to make up its mind.

Well, hey! I got one number right. Maybe I'm getting better at this.
As I walked down along the street to the liquor store, the sun reflected off the bricks in the walkway so brightly that it seemed like sun reflecting off of water. Additionally, the "no-see-ems" were out in force, forming clouds of themselves in the clear sunlight. Finally arriving at the liquor store, I purchased a quick pick Megabucks ticket.

I have in front of me a Megabucks ticket that I bought at the supermarket some days ago. Did I win? I don't think so, because I didn't hear anything in the news about a winning Megabucks ticket that hasn't been claimed yet. On that basis, I will prepare myself for the letdown that comes when I discover that I have not won. So here goes; I played:
14-24-33-39-41-42
for the draw date of Wednesday, October 6th, 2004.
The winning numbers were (drum roll, please):
Egads, how could I be so far off?!
