I would assume I am like you and you spent a dollar or two on the MEGA 640 million jackpot that was won by three different tickets on Friday night. Sometimes we forget the other prizes that go along with playing the lottery.
I actually got 5 of the six right on one of my tickets and I plan to be in Raleigh when they open the lottery doors on Monday to pick up the 1.2 million I won getting 5 of the six numbers correct. There were five other people in the lottery somewhere in the USA that got five of the six. I hear that after taxes I will get about $525,000.
After I pay all my bills and hear from all my fifth cousins two times removed and if there is any money left I will be heading out of town for an extended period of time. While I am in hiatus I do not plan to have any thing called a communication device with in my hearing or sight. So while I am out of the area there will be no blog for a while starting as soon as the lottery office opens.
Yesterday the Gryphons were beaten 8-0 in the South Johnston Baseball Tournament. The lone Gryphon hit belonged to Micah Varnell. Sam Lilley was the Gryphon starter and pitched the first five innings and Andy Morris finished the 6th. The Gryphons play Cleveland at 7pm Monday night.
There is no doubt Gryphon baseball has taken their lumps this season with five sophomores in the starting lineup. Saturday's lost was #10 on the season for the Gryphons but five have come at the hands of 4-A schools. Twice to Rose, once each to Riverside, East Wake and Clayton. However I don't know of anybody who has the Gryphons on their schedule throwing a pity party. The 4-A schools out of the picture the Gryphons are 4-5 against all others. That would put them at average and when young is added in that makes for a long season.
As these sophomores are getting their feet wet they may make life miserable for everyone over the next five weeks that they face up with the rest of their schedule. Funny thing but they are not out of the playoffs yet and there are signs that this team is learning. They may be down this year but next year they will all be seniors and juniors.
It is down to Kentucky and Kansas. Kansas winning last night knocked me out of any money in the pool I'm in. Best I can do now is fourth. But with my half mill I think I can get by.
