I admit. I truly do. Those lottery scratch and win ticket machines are so tempting. What can't vending machines do nowadays? I was recently in Meijer today getting some supplies for dinner when there it stood in all it's glory. The scratch and win Vending machine. I basked in its glow. It's soft inviting neon lighted numbers letting me know how much I would have to invest to deserve a chance for a warm soothing ticket that could be the answer to my car payment problems.
I stuck my dollar in and choose the lowest payout game they had there for a buck which was Kitty Cash. Strange game, you get 6 scratches and at least 3 have to be the same to win said prize, or 2 and the special icon for double the amount. I scratched it off with my lucky nickel I use for the same purpose of winning. Alas, nothing. I didn't win zilch. That leaves my scratch and win earnings at $0. What can I say, It was a good run. Will I keep it up? Sure I will!! Well, not as frequently anyways until I get some money which brings me to another subject. I'll will now proceed with the whore out of this blog. That's right, I've recruited top technicians in their field of expertise!!.....or if you don't buy that, I'm putting up my paypal name to beg for money as well as putting up google adsense to generate some profit to feed my addiction.
Want to know what you can do to promote yourself and give me some money and possibly yourself some as well? Just check on the right side of the blog on the main page for future reference, but for now I'll just copy and paste:
Now i'm not asking for handouts....well ya, I really am asking for handouts to feed the addiction. Which is why I'm here to propose some business deals to all you people out there to make me some money and quite possibly yourself as well. Here's how it's going to work. It's based on giving me money via paypal and I've come up with a few ways to help me out and help you out in the process.
1.) For $1 sent, I will personally buy a scratch and win ticket on Saturday and split half the winnings with the person who sent the cash. Will it be 50 cents? Will it be $1000? Who knows! Let your good pal Cliff help your odds of winning as well as supporting my cause. Of course you'll get a personal photo of the actual ticket itself. Maybe a small video to prove it if your THAT anal about whether or not your a winner. Oh ya, and you get no say in what kind of ticket, it'll be a $1 ticket, or a $2 dollar ticket. Pending on your cashflow, i'm not going to go tracking down "Super Slot Cash Scratch" for a dollar and waste 5 bucks in gas finding it. It'll be a random generic ticket of my choice.
2.) For $1 sent, you will be mentioned in Saturdays "Shameless Plugs of the Week" in which I will make a post about all the Shameless Plugs I've put on through the week. What does that exactly mean? Well the day you send your dollar I will post and let the world know who you are and a website address where they can go to. Think of it as a nice and easy way to whore out your website. Your name, your URL and a small 20 wordish description of what it's all about. For a buck. TWICE. Once the day you send it and again that Saturday. If you send it to me on a Saturday, you get pretty much two plugs, but both in the same day.
3.) Want to be a sponsor on my blog? Let everybody know your donating to me and want your name in a hall of fame donator spot in a possible book? All you got to do is send a minimum $15 donation and that can happen!! Not convinced that's worth it? I'll put ya down every week on Saturdays "Shamless Plug of the Week" with your name, URL, small description and how much you donated.
If your interested in any of this the name you want to send all your loving hard earned money to...as well as investments, send them all too:
canowicki@yahoo.com
Send away!
P.S. Make sure to email me at that name as well to give me heads up.
Doesn't the thought of pimping out your website and giving Cliff money just give you a big warm fuzzy inside? Well it should. That's all that's on my lottery mind today, I'm waiting for the big Mega Millions jackpot tomorrow, $65 million here I come!!

Nothing and No Good....and K-Mart
I did check my lottery ticket for last Friday today....as well as yesterdays ticket for Tuesdays drawing. Each one had only 1 white ball number picked. To bad that doesn't bring anything to the table except another dollar in the red. Thats all good though, my theory will soon be proven wrong... I hope. That just means that I have to keep on playing to start making some change and not having much in the black for the first month.
I was on my way to get stuff for the baby, aka, more receiving blankets and stop by my grandparents house for some home made sheets for the cradle. Which is great for me, less stuff to wash and more time being less stressed out. Its a win win. Closest place to my grandparents house was a Super K-Mart. I'm glad this place doesn't look like most K-Marts with the yellow tinted paint that looks like they've been smoking since the 80's inside the store and never bothered to clean the walls or flooring. They did happen to have the same music though so it's not that bad. But what the hell does that have to do with the lottery? Well I never knew it before, but K-Mart actually has the option to buy lottery tickets! Who knew? Well probably a lot of people that go there just not myself. I bought the winning lottery ticket, I think, for Fridays jackpot of $65 million dollars!!
When I come to think of it, there's a lot of stuff I'd love to do with the winnings. I got to be honest, call me weird, strange or down right generous. But it came to me in a dream that I was to give half of my winnings after taxes to the St. Jude's Children Hospital. It sticks in my head, so I refuse to go back on it. Bummer if I only won $10 million, but the bigger the jackpot the better since I have more to myself. After looking over what I wanted, what I needed and what I would like to have, I looked at all the people I could possibly help. Friends and family in need for just a little help. Not flat out giving them a steady life, but I'm not sure I could easily have all this cool stuff while the people that I know are in desperate need to get their life right. I still plan on making sure I have millions of dollars don't get me wrong, after all I can't just give money to people I don't know, family I've never seen or friends that want to relive the glory days and hang out....you know the kind, those people in high school or college that were in your class for a semester that you didn't talk to but somehow got forced into a group project and they had to put up with you. Those people, all of a sudden would LOVE to be your buddy. Fuck that. That's all I got to say on that subject, more later.
I sit here, nothing won yet, but the year is still early! I got 11 more months to go to play a game of winning catch up! I think I can do it, I know I can! If all else fails, at least I got this cool book I'm going to make.

Baby and reasons for more money
It's been a time since I last posted passing on by the Friday Mega Millions. I'd like to start out by saying I had a beautiful baby boy Saturday January 27th at 11:50am name Chase weighing in at 7lbs 15oz. What more motivation for this project then the birth of a new life and having to financially take care of it.
I did not win the Mega Millions last Friday, alas. Although I never did quite check the ticket, I did see that the prize went up a couple million. Although its up about 11 million maybe? There's always that small chance of hope that I won a nice small fortune....hell I'd be happy if I won 2 bucks. That would make up for that scratch and win I bought along with Friday's lottery ticket. I thought i'td have a good chance at winning, but I won nothing on it. Not to mention it was a $2 ticket and the odds were 1 in 4.65. Hmmm I wonder. If I were to get 5 tickets, would I make enough to earn back the money? It sounds like a test I must try out soon along with my spending $20 on $1 tickets theory. The ticket was called Winner Snow and I just had to match 1 of 16 numbers with 1 of 3 numbers that I got or get a small cash wad symbol to win them all. It was fun though, i'm not that much in regret about it. I'll have to wait until I get some stuff settled to test my theories on scratch and win tickets. So chalk that down for another losing ticket.
I did manage to snag me a ticket for todays lottery though. Will this be the final time that my wishes can turn into reality? I hope so. My ways of buying stuff sure changed with the baby though, I now have plans to make a huge baby friendly house.....except the man cave. Which I will into on a later date. I'm so dead tired though, Between Friday and Monday night I got a total of 6 hours of sleep. I'll be sure to play some catch up and explain the man cave in detail later.
