Winning numbers: 4-14-15-28-30
Wish I had listened to Skoaler and played 30 which was a number he liked and believed had potential to become very hot, but I always hated playing that number..and I'm not a fan of playing 10 or 20 either for that matter.
4 seemed very overdue, even during the last two draws, so I kept it again from yesterday's wheel, plus it even had CARBOB'S approval as well.
14 was a number I considered and generally like to play (I even mentioned it before yesterday's draw) but just didn't include it tonight since I'm only limited to 9 choices...and I chose 15 because it was pretty warm and hit 2 days in a row last week. And 28 was self explanatory (just a very hot number). I didn't want to go too cold on this wheel tonight.
Since 3 of my 9 numbers hit, I finally made some money for once, as I had fifteen 3-of-5 hits. Plus, one of my 35 free qps that I won yesterday, believe it or not, actually hit a 3-of-5 as well (the ticket had 4-14-15 on it), so I had a total of sixteen 3-of-5 hits. I think that was the first time I ever won money with a qp, and this is the first time I ever got a return from a wheel.
Tonight the prize payout on 3-of-5 was $10.50, so I won $168 but spent $126...so I came out with $42 dollars. (Let's just forget about the $252 I spent on the other two $126 wheels I ran this week for a minute.)
Additionally, I won 60 quickpicks with the wheel, plus three of my 35 free qps won another 3 free qps, so that brings me to 63 free quickpicks. It was difficult (and embarrassing) enough cashing the 35 free qps at a store today...and now I have to do that again with 62 of them. Oh brother...
It's sad that the first time I actually win a decent amount of money playing Fantasy 5 comes the day before my final day of gambling. I guess better late than never.
So in summary, the total payout on this wheel plus the 8 smart picks and 35 free qps I went into this draw with, was $42...along with 63 free quickpicks. Not bad. It was nice to have had luck on my side for once.
