I AM still sane. My nostrils have become flared like the Green Grotto caves, and my ears are flapping, and red hot just like the Elephant Man. I cannot state whether I am happy or sad.
Can you really imagine that the jackpot is at $100 million? What can I do with $100
million? Absolutely nothing for the first few months. I would be so confused.
I would not want one person to win the $100 million. It would be like committing suicide on this infamous island known for high crime rate and volcanic bad mind. If I ever win this money, safety would be my greatest concern.
Money does not really give you real happiness or peace, but access. Money at times gives a feeling that you are larger than life, and you are no longer a mortal, but a god. It will give you a halo you do not need, since you are not an angel. (Is lotto just playing a game or is it gambling?) If you are too kind, people will rush you like you are the newly-selected Prime Minister and if you are mean, they will feel that you have money that belong to them.
RICH FOR LIFE
I would not want to win $100 million. (This man must be an idiot or a sleeping jackass!) I know that I will be a rich man for life in Jamaica, but my family will be living in a cage. (Can you imagine feeling like a parrot?) I would have no sense of freedom of movement living in urban Kingston. I would be a magnet to deportees and scoundrels. Whey di lotto man deh? Mek wi tek something offa him, nuh. Mek ah duppy nuh!!! It is even worse in the rural areas where everybody knows everybody, whether you are a returning resident or not.
My message to Supreme Ventures is, it is important to let the world know who won the game. However, it is also important to say that my life is worth more than $1 million dollars, and I would not like to see my image all over the media. Personally, if I win the jackpot on Saturday, the first person I will be hiring is one of the top make-up artists from Hollywood. This employee should be ultra creative and should be able to transform me into a King Kong or Count Dracula on the day when I receive my cheque.
A look at
some trivia
I DID not know that Jamaica is so much on the edge. Can you imagine two peaceful rural towns kicking off during this week? We are not talking about football or karate.
The police shooting of a youth in Brown's Town led to the burning of a garbage truck. Rubbish on rubbish! Why is it that we are hearing the same old tired story with these police shootings every time or even
every day?
The common folk just do not believe in the guardians of justice anymore. Mandeville came alive with the alleged beating of
workers by workers at a particular supermarket. Who is the legal judge? The people bawl for justice on the streets.
Let us look at some trivia. The lotto jackpot was won 17 times during 2005. The number 1 appeared 15 times, the numbers 2 and 3 worked 17 times and the number 37 rolled 18 times. Looking at this sample, one could assume that a number will appear for 16 times across the year.
MATHEMATICS
I will leave you to do some other mathematics, if you get my drift. Since 2006, numbers 2 and 3 have rolled three times, while numbers 29, 26, 36, 37 and 12 have appeared twice.
The jackpot moved from $80 million last Saturday to $100 million Thursday morning. The last time the jackpot was won was on November 26, 2005. The results for Saturday, January 14 were: 2, 6, 8, 21, 26, 36 and bonus ball of 4. The results of Wednesday night draw were: 1, 2, 3, 12, 17, 36 and bonus 29. The number 2 was repeated with three consecutive numbers of 1, 2, and 3. My feeling for this Saturday is that you will either have another set of three consecutive numbers or none at all, if the jackpot is not won.
I implore you to go and buy your tickets early.
