So I bought Cash Pot....now what?

Yesterday, for the first time, I bought Cash Pot, one of the games sold by the Lotto company. I have no clue what to look for to see if I have won.

I also bought the Lotto, now worth J$100million (US$1 = J$61). I definitely know how to see if I've won THAT one. Bought 5 numbers too. Keep fingers and toes crossed. But I've never won anything like that, so very unlikely.

I know somebody who won Lotto. He said he bought the ticket, put it somewhere, like in his car pocket, went away, and when he came back he remebered it. When he checked, he had won the Lotto. The only person, so he pocketed everything, which was close to J$30 million I think.

Super Lucky. Oh, next time I think I will play Lucky 5. You win if you match 3, 4 or 5 numbers.

While in the shop yesterday, I realized this is big business. An old lady was in there buying many tickets, seemingly for other people. I guess she mussi charge a smalls!

Oops, today is Tuesday. I broke with tradition (No posts on tuesday!)

Well I guess no post tomorrow then (only if I win the Lotto, which will be drawn tomorrow night)

Those games ARE big business believe you me. I stopped to buy a Pepsi at the Star Mart the other day and there was a lady with her Lotto sheet ( I have to call it a sheet..folder leaf with numbers back and front). Di oooman buy J$4500.00 worth of Lotto numbers. I was in shock.

Maybe I'll get a ticket, later who knows?

Good luck to you
