I hope everyone had a Happy New Year.

The lottery contests will continue in 2013. I encourage every member that is not on this list to post an "I'm in" link to this post and I will add you to the list of contestants (shown at the bottom of this email).

This is a FREE contest. You NEVER have to send me any money. Any time the Powerball® or Mega Millions® jackpot reaches $100 million dollars or more, I buy $5 or $6 dollars worth of tickets. Andy Hughes (LM-2471-52) has been consistently adding funds to buy more tickets for every jackpot, increasing our chances. If you have been happy with this contest in the past, Andy is as responsible for it as I am.

When we hit the jackpot, it will be divided equally among the contestants.

In 2012, as a group we were in the running for over $10 billion dollars in jackpots ($2.76 billion in Mega Millions and $7.34 billion in Powerball). We won an approximate total of $56 dollars.

I will print the 2013 Contest Rules below just so everyone has a clear understanding. I did make one change this year - I deleted the ¼ share payout for associate members. For a while last year there was a push to add associate members (so I added the clause to encourage it), and then there was a "backlash" to the idea of encouraging underage people to collect gambling chips. Either way, it did nothing to increase members (associate or not) to join my contests.

Below are the contest rules for 2013, and below that the current contestant list.

I hope everyone has a wonderful 2013, and it will be great when we all get together holding up that big check!
