It was a really bad week this week....losses all around, including a really bad one on Monday.

I won't be slow playing this coming Monday.  I'm subbing for a coworker at work, plus I'm trying to save a little bit more dough.  Also, my mom is having surgery Wednesday.  I'm taking off Wednesday and Thursday from work.   There is a possibility that there may not be a KACHING Report next week because it's possible I may not play at all next week.

I've still been working slowly on my Lotto Hideout when I've had a few spare moments, but they've been few and far between during the past week.  I'm on Massachusetts' $5 tickets now.  It's now a downhill climb (I think that's how you'd describe it) because there are much fewer tickets when I get to the $10 and $20 tickets.

Until next time, may you win lots of loot and may your family be in good health.

I've decided to make a change to my KACHING Reports....they'll be going from Sunday to Saturday instead of Saturday to Friday.  This is just something that's easier for me to keep track of.  Carry on.

Monday slow playing:

$10 (JUMBO $2) on $1 Junior Jumbo Bucks

2 free ticket on some $2 Two for the Dough

Free ticket on $5 Atlanta Falcons $500,000 Touchdown

$8 ($5 + $3) on $3 Cash Harvest

$7 (MEGA $1 + $2) on $3 Mighty Mega Bucks

$21 ($3 + 9 x $2 w/TD) on $2 $35,000 Super Score

$7 (Red Pepper $1 + $2) on $2 Spicy Cash

$15 (Fire $3), $10 (2 x $5), 4 free tickets, and $3 (both 3x $1) on some $2 Fire ‘N’ Dice

$20 (Moneybag $3 + $5) on a $5 $500,000 Riches

$9 on Deal or No Deal:  Beat the Banker (GA Lottery Sit & Win game, played during bonus hours Mondays where you get 50% more on winning tickets purchased between 6 and 8 PM)

I didn't play much this week (just Monday).  Monday, despite the winners, wasn't good at all.  I wound up letting the bigger winners ride and not hitting squat.  Hopefully the tide of good luck will come back in soon.

I'm still working on my Lotto Hideout.  I'm working on Massachusetts, which has become a pretty big project converting the detailed odds of the winning combinations into consolidated odds.  Also, the Mass Lottery website doesn't distinguish retired games from active games on their instant game pages.  There were numerous games that were listed which had been retired.  I didn't discover this until later, when I found a list of retired games in a hard-to-find (IMO) place....a legal notices page.  So, I had to go back, edit, and delete pages and had to go back and edit my $1 Odds Comparisons page for the Mass $1 games.  Since then, I've had multiple tabs open in Firefox so I can figure out which games are active and which are retired.  That's slowed down my work some.

Also, you may have noticed that I didn't post pictures of big wins on my last KACHING Report.  That's because I included them in my October '09 KACHING video on my YouTube Channel.

Until next time, may you win lots of loot on all of your tickets.

I've got the detailed odds on all of the holiday games (except for the 2010 Cash Celebration, or whatever it's called, because it doesn't come out until the middle of November) and I've posted them on my Lotto Hideout.

With the exception of the $5 Season's Greetings (it's about on par with the other $5 tickets' odds), the other holiday games are absolutely crap, with the only exception being a $100 winner on the $1 Holly Day Cash (best of all $1 tickets) and a $100 winner on the $10 Jingle Jumbo Bucks (best of all $10 tickets).  The odds on the other prizes (except maybe the small $10/$20 prizes on the Jingle Jumbos) are not very good at all; in fact, some of them are the worst odds of a particular denomination.

Until next time, may you use your detailed instant game odds wisely to nail a nice win.

Sorry....for the billionth time in a row (at this rate), I'm late with this again because of something....this time being insanely busy at work for Halloween weekend.  I hope everyone had a SAFE Halloween weekend and I hope, if you have children, that you checked your child's candy and they were being careful.

It was a pretty good week this week.  You may have noticed that I didn't post images with the big winners...that's because I'm going to include them in my October KACHING video on my YouTube channel, which I'll work on after I post this.

If you noticed, I included odds info on some of my winners for the $1 Holly Day Cash and $5 Season's Greetings tickets.  That's because those are the 2 newest GA additions to my Lotto Hideout.

Until next time, may you win lots of loot and hit lots of special symbols!

Yes, it's late again because I'm sick (only difference between this weekend and last weekend is that I have my voice this weekend)...but there also was another factor outside my control relating to LP that I'm pretty sure everyone around here knew about.

While I've got the energy, if I don't forget on future KACHING Reports, if I have the detailed odds for a game, I'll post the odds of that winner as well.

It wasn't a good week last week (big overall loss).  But....that's the way the cookie crumbles sometimes.

Oh yeah....I forgot to mention....one of the places I go slow playing at (not the tobacco mart) now has the new GA Lottery Sit & Win games.  I tried them on Monday...and as you can see above, I didn't fare too well.  If I'm feeling well tomorrow (and if I have the money), I may go there again and try it again and see if my luck fares any better.

Until next time, may you still stay well and may you hit tons of winners.

I'm still not feeling good, but I've got enough energy to do this...

It was a good week last week....including, *techincally*, my very 1st grand prize winner ever ($50 is the grand prize on the $1 Quick $50 tickets)!  Oh, and how about Monday's moolah-fest?   I should also note that Monday was the very 1st time I've hit 2 triple-digit winners in a single day (previous best was 2 in 2 days, back when I hit my 1st $500 winner followed by a $100 winner the next day).

I've also been working on my Lotto Hideout (well, except Friday and yesterday, because I wasn't feeling too well).  I've added a couple of states and was working on another when I got sick.

Until next time, may you feel well, not get sick, and hit lots of triple-digit winners.

It looks like it was a big profit Monday...but it actually wasn't.  There were a good bit of duds.  In addition, I went FORTEEN Fantasy 5 with EZ Match plays ($2 each instead of $1) IN A ROW with absolutely nothing.  The 15th one won $2.  It gets worse.....absolutely NONE of the 15 Fantasy 5 tickets (all of those tickets were still good for that night's drawing) matched 2 or more numbers (2 for a free quick pick).

If you've been to my Lotto Hideout lately, you may have noticed that I've begun doing odds comparisons (a.k.a. Which game do I have the best odds of hitting x-prize?) for other states' instant games (states that post their detailed instant game odds publicly).  I've completed a couple of more states (WI, IA, MN, and probably tonight, LA).  Also, when the GA Lottery gave me those detailed odds about a week or two ago, they also told me that they were in a lull when it came to promotions, so, according to them, that gives them more free time to dig up documents for older games with the detailed odds on them.  As I've noted (I think) on the site....these pages won't be updated as frequently for a number of reasons (GA is my main focus, my job, the number of states with publicly posted detailed odds, etc.)

I hope to go to the tobacco mart tomorrow and slow play (providing I don't go broke playing Fantasy 5 with EZ Match, which I plan on doing tomorrow before I start with scratchers).  It'll probably be a rainy day (which isn't always a bad thing when it comes to my lottery luck... ).

Until next time, may you play your state's pick 5/6/whatever game's instant win feature and hit frequently.
