My Massachusetts Lottery Blog

On my way to the liquor store to pick up a quick-pick Megabucks ticket, I spotted a beautiful hibiscus plant. But the stalk with the flowers was right next to someone's open window with a curtain fluttering in the breeze. How could I get away with taking a picture of the flowers, and not be mistaken for taking a picture of the inside of their house?

After I bought this ticket --

I spotted a beautiful yellow lily, and thought, Well, I can at least take a picture of this.



However, my path back home took me by the same hibiscus plant that I had shirked from photographing earlier. Getting up my nerve, I took a picture of it, too.



By the way, my niece still isn't born yet! But it could be any day now.

The winning numbers were (I got one right, and one other one was only one off):

I'll soon have a new niece! It could be any day now. I'm very excited about this! So much that I don't care much about the lottery today.

Here are the numbers I played on Saturday, July 23:

Gosh, I really didn't do badly. One number was correct, and one other number was only one off from two of the correct numbers.

The picture above is one I took of our local fireworks on the fourth of July. Then, on Wednesday, July 13 I played Megabucks. My numbers were:

3-6-9-16-24-28

The winning numbers were:

Hey! I got two of them right!

After buying a lottery ticket, I noticed while driving home that an old containter of car interior "towlettes" was still behind the passenger side seat. I bought them a long time ago. An idea flashed through my head. I've been having trouble motivating myself to do house cleaning. Why not commit to only the amount of house cleaning per day that just one of these towlettes could accomplish? So, at home, I pulled out one of the wet tissues and scrubbed down the edge of counter in front of the microwave. It was quite grubby. By the time I finished, though, it had a shine that looked suspiciously like a car's vinyl interior.

I played these numbers:

10-17-30-34-36-40

The winning numbers were:

Megabucks 07/06/05 Wednesday 12-20-24-25-35-36

Well, I got one number right and another one was only off by one!
