Feeling down
“Oh, darn, I am such a klutz,” said Kate
from the kitchen where she is supposedly
learning to cook. “I am hopeless. Clumsy.
Awkward. A bungler.”
“Nobody gets it all right from the first try,” I
said, hoping to console her.
“Just look at this mess. I wouldn’t feed it to
the pigs. I am truly hopeless,” Kate went
on.
“Well,” I said finally, “argue for your limitations and you get to keep them.”
“You and your philosophy!” she yelled.
“What are we going to do for dinner?”
“I’ll spring for pizza and a salad before
Bingo,” I said.
We were trying a new place tonight and I
was eager to get going. “Come on. Let’s
go. I’m hungry now.”
The new place was small and unassuming, being tucked into a mall corner and
sponsored by the Boys and Girls clubs.
We were early and sat near the caller,
who was a woman from our neighborhood. She was inclined to be talkative
before the action started and asked for
some suggestions for the special games.
“I like the ‘h’ in either direction,” I said.
“That’s a good idea.” The young woman
looked at Kate. “Oh, don’t ask me,” said
Kate. “I am such a dummy. I would screw
the whole game up.”
“She’s down on herself tonight,” I said.
“Ordinarily she’s not so bad.”
“Give me another bit of your wisdom,” said
Kate gloomily.
I thought for a minute, then said, “Come.
Be silent with me.”
“That’s a great idea,” she said. “I won’t
speak again tonight.”
It worked out rather well except Kate
Bingoed on the ‘h’ and had to call out to
get her winnings.
www.longislandbingo.com
When we left for the evening, she was in
a much better mood and hummed happily
as she thought of the event. Then she
held up two crossed fingers. “I want to
speak,” she said.
“Permission granted,” I said.
“I’ve decided. I’m going to take a cooking
class and learn how to do stuff in the
kitchen.”
“What a good idea,” I said. “And I will continue to be your experimental group or
whatever you call it. Just don’t be so down
on yourself.”
“I promise,” said Kate solemly.

Bev Garges
Facebook identity
They were fun at first. You’ve seen the
teasers on Facebook. What does your
name mean? How well do you remember
the sixties? What color is your soul? What
is your mental age? Are you a true believer? There is a Quiz for every possible personality, religion, or mental state of mind.
We are conditioned to laugh it off when we
read a horoscope or take one of these
quizzes and for good reason. Never once
has my horoscope said: Today you are
going to lose your wallet, your furnace will
break down or your car will need a new
battery. But once you take one of these
new quizzes, you are won over by the
glowing comments about you and it is only
natural that you begin to walk a little taller
and feel a little more important.
I really liked it when my results showed
that I am deeply spiritual, compassionate
and caring. That has always been one of
my goals. So how come when they published my results on Facebook, not one
person gave me a like?
On the quiz about what other people see
in me I learned that I have a mesmerizing
persona, lovely character, and my charm
and character is daunting. Not sure what
daunting means but it must be a good
thing. So it is hard for me to understand
why my Bingo buddies have been ignoring
me lately.
I passed the Elvis quiz with flying colors.
The grandkids dropped their jaws when I
told them the names of every one of the
Elvis hits of the fifties and sixties and
laughed their heads off when I mentioned
Blue Suede Shoes. That’s when they all
hauled out their smart phone and found
out that there really was an Elvis and blue
suede shoes and their grandma was once
“with it.” It was fun impressing my grandkids.
Still something was not right. Life wasn’t
fun anymore. I talked it over with my old
buddy Marge at Bingo last night. I can
always count on Marge to give it to me
straight.
“We don’t like you anymore, or that halo
you’ve been wearing” she said. “ We want
our old Bev back. We want that old, loud,
boisterous, laughing, lovin,’ huggin,’
cussin,’ crazy, generous, indifferent Bev
back.”
“I’ve missed her, too.” I replied.
Operation Gratitude
Expanding its reach
Operation Gratitude has branched out.
Since 2003, it has sent more than 1.1
million care packages to military personnel overseas in harm’s way. Now, in addition, OpGrat is sending care packages to
recruits coming out of boot camp.
You remember boot camp…and what it
was like to finally be finished. So far, the
non-profit organization has sent nearly
17,000 packages to graduates of Navy
and Marine Corps boot camps, and it will
bring the Air Force and Army into the fold
in 2015.
Each box contains quality gifts and goodies, including snacks, hygiene products,
drink mixes, books, CDs, DVDs and players, a “Loved One” medallion, survival
bracelet, handmade scarves, hats…and
the much-appreciated cards and letters
from children and adults all across the
U.S.
The goal to send packages to those coming out of boot camp is a worthy one, as
it shows our appreciation to each of them
and lets them know they’re not alone.
I know the holidays have many of us
spread a little thin, but I’m asking you to
open your wallets and send some money
to Operation Gratitude, which gets no
handouts from the government, not even
the Post Office. It costs $15 to send each
package. Volunteers recently got an
March 2015
emergency request for 4,000 packages
for the Marine Corps Recruit Depot
Parris Island graduating classes. Do the
math: That’s a lot of money for postage
alone, and the annual goal is to send out
100,000 packages.
For more information or to make a donation online, go to www.operationgratitude.com, or call the InfoLine at 1-800651-8031. Checks can go to Operation
Gratitude, P.O. Box 260257, Encino, CA

as mailing addresses are different.

Green or Orange?
Learn to let go. Release the stress. You
were never in control anyway.
—Steve Maraboli from Life, the Truth, and
Being Free
When March’s weather comes in like a lion,
it goes out like a lamb; and vice versa.
Since March is such a changeable month
with warm spring-like temperatures, late
season snowstorms, and everything in
between, one can understand how this
saying might hold true. However, the origin
of March’s lion and lamb phrase relates
more to astronomy than meteorology.
March’s lions and lambs actually refer to
star constellations in the March skies. The
lion pattern is more prominent in the night
sky toward the start of March; the lamb pattern the end of March. We have equal
chances of blizzards or sunburn solely
dependent on the whims of Mother Nature;
and she can be a spiteful old buzzard when
dreams of sunshine are dancing in our
heads.
So how are you dressing for St. Patrick’s
Day? Chances are that on March 17, you’ll
be decked out in vibrant green or maybe
stylish orange. My husband has made it his
mission to wear orange and explain to all
that he is Protestant Irish, not Catholic
Irish. Green represents Catholic Ireland;
orange, Protestant Ireland. Ireland’s flag is
green, orange and white with white representing peace between the two factions. As
for me, I drink green beer while eating
oranges and that goes a long way in keeping the peace between my husband and
me.
Two more March holidays are unofficial but
still my personal favorites. March 22 is
National Goof Off Day and March 30 is
National I Am in Control Day. Probably, an
overworked someone invented Goof Off
Day which is dedicated to fun because she
or he needed some down time; then the
idea spread via internet and social media.
It works for me and I’m retired. I can spend
an entire day, not necessarily March 22,
reading, eating, and watching TV and not
feel guilty. Robert is not good at goofing off
and tends to be in perpetual motion cleaning, cooking, and fixing this or that. It
makes me tired watching him so I nap a lot.
It’s not my fault he thinks goofing off is a sin
while I embrace it. On March 30, 1981,
President Regan was wounded in an
assassination attempt. His Secretary of
State, Alexander Haig, later stated to
reporters, “I am in control here.” Afterward
some wiseacre designated this date every
year as National I Am in Control Day. It’s a
day to take charge of our lives and stop
acting like drunken monkeys in a tequila
bar. On this day or any other when everything is going wrong with the toilet overflowing and the black screen of death decorating the laptop, do what I do when my
life spins out of control. Sit down with
another cup of coffee and read the newspaper. Being in control isn’t all it’s cracked
up to be.
The best way to goof off is to play Bingo. I
am definitely not in control there because if
I were, I’d win more. But, it’s relaxing and
takes my mind off the chaos than may be
happening in other areas of my life. Until
next month, may Lady Luck blow you kisses as you dance out the door with dollars.
Win big. E-mail me at [email protected] to share your favorite ways to
goof off.

Dear Aunt Bingo
Bingo for the youngsters
They need to be educated!
Dear Aunt Bingo,
I volunteer as a teaching assistant at an
elementary school—which is walking distance from my house. It has been a wonderful second career since I took early
retirement. I enjoy the school, the teachers
and the other staff—but especially the children, who are so young and bright and
have so much of their lives ahead of them.
One morning I was helping some students
with a wall-art project that included creating
a checkerboard pattern background made
with sheets of colored paper. When the
background was completed, I stepped
back and commented that it looked like a
giant Bingo card. The 12 or so students
stared back at me blankly.
“You don’t think so?” I asked them.
“What’s a Bingo card?” one of the girls
finally said.
I was stunned. Here was a group of intelli-
gent youngsters who apparently had never
heard of Bingo. “It’s a game,” I explained,
“with rows of numbers that someone calls
out and you try and match to win.”
“Oh yeah,” another one said. “I think I’ve
heard of that.” A few of the other students
nodded, while the rest continued to stare.
“You add the numbers up or something,”
she added.
It was one of those jaw-dropping
moments—like when you meet someone
who has never heard of saddle shoes,
Sputnik or John Wayne. I felt a little
ancient. Then realized I now had a mission.
“I’ll see if it’s okay to bring Bingo to school
sometime,” I said.
In response, one of the boys shook his
head and rolled his eyes. “Great…more
math,” he moaned. —Elaine G., Valley
Stream, New York
Dear Elaine,
I guess in the age of computer gaming and
digital entertainment, games like traditional
Bingo are taking longer to reach the
newest generation.
Hopefully the teacher in charge will permit
you to bring in one of those Dollar Store
sets so you can show the kids what you are
talking about. Perhaps you can give away
bite-sized candy bars as prizes. Once the
first couple of kids win those, I’m sure there
will be lots of interest.
It seems to me that Bingo can be very educational: For example, in teaching number
and pattern recognition, taking part in non-
7
physical competition, and learning that you
can’t win them all.
Later in life—when they discover that you
can also go out for a day or evening of
Bingo, socialize, and win some serious
cash in the process—it should also conjure
up nostalgic memories of playing Bingo for
candy bars with Mrs. G. —Aunt Bingo
Readers: Do you remember you first
encounter with Bingo as a child or your first
experience with buy-in Bingo as an adult?
Write in and share your recollections and I
will publish them in a future column. —

Bob
On
Bingo
How fast is your caller?
I get a lot about varying reports on many
aspects of Bingo in my mailbag (at
[email protected]) each month.
Recently, I found a nice letter from George
in Minnesota. I am not sure I’ve mentioned
this letter before. If I did, it’s worth repeating.
George writes: “Bob, you wrote a column
of interest about your encountering really
SLOW Bingo. On a recent visit to a hall we
had a similar experience. It happened
while we were traveling in the Alamogordo,
New Mexico area.
“We found a Bingo hall, they had “9-on
packs.” (This kind of Bingo sheet has nine
cards printed on one large sheet.) “We
usually play 12 cards…sometimes two 6ons, but we decided nine would be plenty.
We noticed very one else was buying 3
and 4 packs.
“We turned to each other and wondered
aloud how anyone could play that many
cards. How could they keep up? We soon
found out. “It seems that the callers used a
45-second interval between each number
announcement. This was plenty of time to
mark large numbers of cards, but, having
only a 9-on, there was a lot of waiting for
my friend and I.
“At this hall, they also played a pull tab
game between each Bingo game.
Needless to say, it was a LONG evening.
We won’t be going there again.”
George, thanks for the nice report. I have
seen the widest variety of speeds of calling
during my travels. I would safely say that
15 percent of all halls call the numbers too
quickly. This also means that callers who
are not easily understood at a normal
speed, become even less articulate when
racing through calls.
My rule of thumb is: If you have to constantly consult the “tote” board to see what
number was just called, then either the
caller is too quick or mumbles or the sound
system is too quiet.
As I have said far too many times, we
Bingo players are the ones who PAY to
make Bingo possible. If we have a problem
at a hall, we have the right and the obligation to say something. And, don’t go yelling
at the runners or the callers. Ask, politely,
to speak to the manager of the hall.
If he or she tells you that the problem cannot be corrected, that means that he or she
has a “boss” somewhere. You need to find
out who that “boss” is and deal with him or
her…politely.
Please, friends, work with me to preserve
the game we love the best. We must play
as often as we can; we must take friends
and family and introduce others to the
game. Let’s not take Bingo for granted.
Next time: More from the e-mail mailbag.

Savvy Senior
You ask the
Senior
Question,
We find the
Savvy
Answer!
Employment resources
For older job seekers
Dear Savvy Senior,
What resources can you recommend to
help older job seekers? I’m 62 and have
been out of work for nearly a year now
and need some help.
Looking For Work
Dear Looking,
While the U.S. job market has improved
slightly over the past year or so, challenges persist for many older job seekers.
Fortunately, there are a number of free
online tools and in-person training centers
scattered across the country today that
can help you find employment. Here’s
what you should know.
Online Resources
If you have Internet access, there are a
number of 50-and-older online employment networks that can help you connect
with companies that are interested in hiring older workers.
Two of the best are workreimagined.org, a
resource developed by AARP that combines career advice, job listings and
online discussion tied to LinkedIn’s professional networking platform. And retirementjobs.com, which offers a job search
engine that lists thousands of jobs nationwide from companies that are actively
seeking workers over the age of 50. It also
provides job seeking tips and advice,
helps with resume writing and allows you
to post your resume online for companies
to find you.
Some other good 50-plus job seeking
sites to try are workforce50.com, retiredbrains.com, retireeworkforce.com, and
encore.org a resource that helps older
workers find meaningful work in the second half of life.
In-Person Help
Another good place to get help finding a
job is at a Career One-Stop center.
Sponsored by the U.S. Department of
Labor, these are free job resource centers
that can help you explore career options,
search for jobs, find training, write a
resume, prepare for an interview and
much more. There are around 3,000 of
these centers located throughout the
country. To find one near you, call 877348-0502 or go to careeronestop.org.
Depending on your financial situation,
another program that may help is the
Senior Community Service Employment
Program (SCSEP). Also sponsored by the
Department of Labor, SCSEP offers
access to training and part time job placements in a wide variety of community
service positions such as day care centers, senior centers, governmental agen-
cies, schools, hospitals, libraries and
landscaping centers. To qualify, participants must be over 55, unemployed and
have poor employment prospects. To
learn more or locate a program in your
area visit www.doleta.gov/seniors or call
877-872-5627.
Work at Home
If you’re interested in working at home,
there are many opportunities depending
on your skills, but be careful of rampant
work-at-home scams that offer big paydays without much effort.
Some of the more popular work-at-home
jobs include “customer service agents”
who fields calls from their employers’ customers and prospective customers—you
don’t place telemarketing calls. Agents
earn an average of $8 to $15 an hour and
many also receive incentives and commission, too. To find these jobs see
arise.com,
alpineaccess.com,
liveops.com and workingsolutions.com.
If you have good typing skills there are
“transcriptionist” jobs that pay around $10
per hour for typing verbatim accounts of
board meetings, presentations, conference calls, etc. Companies that hire tran-
March 2015
scriptionists
are
tigerfish.com,
ubiqus.com, ctran.com.
And if you have a college degree, online
“tutoring” or “proofreading” jobs are
always available. See tutor.com to find
tutoring opportunities—which pay
between $10 and $15 per hour. Or, if you
have some writing or editing experience,
proofreading pays $12 to $20 per hour.
See
firstediting.com
and
cactusglobal.com to look for proofreading
jobs.
For more work at home ideas and
resources, see retiredbrains.com and
click on the “Work from Home” tab on the
left side of the page.
Start a Business
If you’re interested in starting a small business but could use some help getting
started, the U.S. Small Business
Administration offers tips, tools and free
online courses that you can access at
sba.gov.

Bugle Cruise
News 2015
By Jeffrey Charboneau
Your exotic ports of call: St.
Maarten; part one of a four-part
series
The 27th Annual World Championship
Bingo Tournament & Gaming Cruise sets
sail from Florida on November 7th and
includes stops at four incredible
Caribbean ports: St. Maarten, Antigua, St.
Thomas, and Nassau, The Bahamas.
Your first port of call—St. Maarten—is part
of a single island divided into two; its possession has been shared by France and
The Netherlands for more than three-anda-half centuries. The dividing line is virtually nonexistent, however, and people
cross back and forth without even noticing
they are entering a new country. Yet each
side has managed to retain much of the
distinctiveness of its homeland.
Dutch St. Maarten, with its busy cruise
port and bustling commercial district, has
long been an active center for trade and
tourism. St. Martin, the French side,
emphasizes comfort and seclusion. The
luxury resorts found there provide lavish
accommodations, and the restaurants
offer some of the finest dining experiences anywhere in the Caribbean.
Between St. Maarten and St. Martin,
Bingo tournament cruise participants will
Long Island Bingo Bugle - 516-797-0224
find just about every kind of distraction
imaginable for a perfect holiday in the
sun.
Attractions in St. Maarten include water
sports, hiking, horseback riding, and other
outdoor experiences. A fantastic activity is
the duty-free shopping available on both
sides of the island. Luxury items from all
over the world—European fashions,
Dutch and Japanese electronics,
Indonesian batiks and Chinese embroidery, jewelry, leather, crystal, liquors, and
fine porcelain—are available at awesome
prices.
St. Maarten is also home to a range of
gaming casinos all easily accessible by
ground transportation from the ship. Other
areas of interest include the historic
fortress, Fort St. Louis; the open-air
Marigot Market; Grand Case beach and
village; Paradise Peak, the highest point
on the island; and Orleans, the picturesque French Quarter.

Bingo tournament cruise family by signing
on for the 2015 World Championship
Bingo Tournament & Gaming Cruise.

Mind your Health
By Patricia Smith
All of us struggle at one time or another as
we face life’s challenges. This can some-
March 2015
times lead to severe depression, anxiety
or other behaviors that keep us from feeling and doing our best for ourselves and
our loved ones. For too long, people
struggling with mental health challenges
have felt discouraged or ashamed
because they are not able to “force themselves” to do or feel better.
So what can we do about it? There are
many ways to help yourself feel better.
Take advantage of the resources available in most communities such as free
support groups, and make sure you get
enough sleep and exercise. If your symptoms are keeping you from your normal
activities or you have any thoughts of giving up, contact your doctor or local mental
health resources. Know that it is okay to
speak up, to acknowledge, “I’m having

Horoscopes
March
ARIES: Mar. 21-Apr. 20: Once again
you’re at the forefront of all the rocking
and rolling that life has to offer. And March
promises to be one of those months that
will make it into your personal history
book. You’ll want to make this mantra of
Michelangelo’s one of your own, too. As
he said: “Genius is eternal patience.”
Slow but steady, anchored to all of your
vitality, guarantees success.
Lucky Days: 17-21
Lucky Numbers: 3-59
TAURUS: Apr. 21-May 21: This month
you’ll want to turn to the supernatural,
mystical or spiritual for the inspiration
you’ll need to remain calm and centered
amidst one of the year’s most challenging
months. Use your intimate relationship to
the natural world to help remind you, daily,
of what the Greek Heraclitus taught us:
“Panta rhei” Everything flows.
Lucky Days: 17-19
Lucky Numbers: 23-68
GEMINI: May 22-June 21:
There’s an old Moroccan saying that goes
like this: “Friendship is honey, but don’t
eat it all.” You’ll want to practice discretion
this month between how much you’re giving of your time to others and how much
you are expecting in return. Aim to keep
things light with your circle of peers; balance will insure that you’ve found your
sweet spot with others.
Lucky Days: 15-25
Lucky Numbers: 4-14
CANCER: June 22-July 22: You’re feeling
the strong, dramatic currents of this
month unlike any other sign. Fortunately,
as a water creature, you have the skills to
cope and ride the wild waves. A key to
help you along the way from William
Blake: “Excessive sorrow laughs.
Excessive joy weeps.” Yep, everything
shifts into its opposite. But you knew that
already.
Lucky Days: 9-23
Lucky Numbers: 9-68
LEO: July 23-Aug. 23: The lively planet
Mars enters your house of faith and suddenly you’ve got a brand new attitude and
philosophy about living. And being the
self-expressive lion that you are, you’re
ready to make a declaration of intent that,
when delivered tactfully, will inspire those
in your close circle. You’re a natural
leader and this month you confirm your
reputation with real flair.
Lucky Days: 19-23
Lucky Numbers: 11-71
VIRGO: Aug. 24-Sept. 23: Emerson once
said that: “Our faith comes in moments,
our vice is habitual.” This is the month
when you take a vow to throw open the
closet door and confront whatever skeletons might be haunting or undermining
your efforts at success. You’ve got the
keen mental skill to unravel the tightest
knot, start untangling.
Lucky Days: 9-29
Lucky Numbers: 18-69
LIBRA: Sept. 24-Oct. 23: Don’t let time
force you into a passive corner or posture.
Remember: Not to decide, is to decide.
And as much as you enjoy peace and harmony, you equally dislike stasis and boredom. Devise a plan to keep moving forward. Allow your appreciation of beauty,
art and science to inspire you in all of your
efforts, especially those that involve your
creativity.
Lucky Days: 4-17
Lucky Numbers: 44-59
SCORPIO: Oct. 24-Nov. 22: March promises to be a trial for all of us and you’re
ready. Remember: What doesn’t disable
us will make us stronger, as an old
German philosopher once said. The full
moon on the 5th is the ringing of the bell
that sets a new cycle of self-discovery in
motion. You’re good at getting rid of the
outworn, and this is the month to cut it all
lose.
Lucky Days: 11-24
Lucky Numbers 17-73
SAGITTARIUS: Nov. 23-Dec. 21: Saturn
in your sign puts the focus on reshaping
your self-image; starting with your body.
Don’t neglect the benefits of healthy routines, especially if you’re clear about what
you need to omit and remove from your
life—make sure you follow through. You’ll
reap the benefits that discipline can
inspire, including a new sense of wonder
19
about your life.
Lucky Days: 19-24
Lucky Numbers: 38-46
CAPRICORN: Dec. 22-Jan. 20: Get
ready to do some heavy lifting this month
as the full moon on the 5th shines a spotlight on ways to rethink relationships on
the home front. Siblings are looking to
your down to earth style to help guide
them along untried or rocky paths. Help
arrives when you align with a long forgotten dream and use it as a guide.
Lucky Days: 3-13
Lucky Numbers: 30-75
AQUARIUS: Jan. 21-Feb. 19: Here’s a
secret insight for you to contemplate this
month, keep it close: You are more important than your problems. As you talk about
and focus on what’s wrong in life, the
heavier and more contracted your life
begins to feel. Try to let go of this habit
and let your eye land, each morning, on
what is a blessing and a source of bounty
in your life.
Lucky Days: 12-26
Lucky Numbers: 22-39
PISCES: Feb. 20-Mar. 20: Unplug from
the struggle with your intellect and allow
your heart to lead the way. Desire and
passion, when welcomed, open new
doors of opportunity. But you must really
feel what it is you want most. And remember, as Antoine de St. Exupery said: “It is
only with the heart that one can see rightly, what is essential is invisible to the eye.”

Difficult Decisions
Make a list of pros and cons
Dear Dream Lady,
A few nights ago I dreamed about a
woman giving birth to twins. No one sees
me in the room. A baby girl came out with
eyes, nose, mouth, ears and hair. Then a
baby boy comes out with no eyes, nose,
mouth, ears or hair. I asked the doctor
“How is he going to eat?” The doctor said,
“Through his belly button.” I asked the doctor, “How is he going to breathe?” The doctor did not know. What does my dream
mean?
Amanda, La Marque, Texas
Dear Amanda,
If you have been reading my column, you
know by now, that any person you do not
know represents you in your dream. Your
babies reflect the male and female part of
your personality. It sounds like you are
going through a tremendous conflict and
you cannot rely on anyone for an answer—
not even yourself (you are also the doctor.)
I encourage you to make a list of Pros and
March 2015
Cons about your difficult decision. When
the Pros are more numerous than the
Cons, make your decision and stick by it,
knowing that you have made the wisest
choice. Good luck. —Dream Lady
Dear Dream Lady,
I was standing outside. Suddenly rain
began pouring down my driveway ruining
items in my garage and a small cabin I rent
on my property. Lots of people, including
my renter and ex-husband were huddled
on the ground crying. No one knew where
the water was coming from. After awhile it
slowed down and stopped, but I was so
shook up, I was late to work.
Tanya M., St. Paul, Minnesota
Dear Tanya,
Your dream is interesting because your
home was not damaged, but your garage
and rental house were. A building symbolizes you, so the “inner you” (i.e. you home)
is protected, but the garage that stores
items and the rental cabin are damaged.
The rushing water says you face almost
insurmountable obstacles—perhaps to do
with your renter and ex-husband? Keep a
dream journal for the next month and see if
you discover a pattern. I think you are in a
“survival mode” of prioritizing what is
important for you to keep your sanity. Your
dream reflects your outpouring of turmoil.
—Dream Lady
Mail your dreams to Dream Lady at P.O.

Emergency ambulance workers
split winnings
A Shared Prize
West Virginia lottery officials introduced
five co-workers from the Kanawha County
Emergency
Ambulance
Authority
Wednesday as the winners of a $1 million
Mega Millions prize at a news conference
in Charleston. They each will take home
about $137,000 after taxes. The group,
which was playing the lottery as an office
pool for the first time, purchased the lucky
ticket at a convenience store. The
coworkers each contributed $5 for a total
purchase of 25 tickets. Had they paid an
extra $1 for the Megaplier option, their
prize of $1 million would have increased
to $5 million because the Megaplier number for that drawing was 5x. But they have
no regrets. “I am just glad that I played
and that we won!” one of the women said.
A Week for Life
When Sharon Hitchings scratched off her
$2 lottery ticket and saw the word “life,”
she felt stunned. The 47-year-old selfemployed house cleaner from Genoa,
New York, had stopped at a gas station to
gas up her car and purchase a Win
$1,000 a Week for Life ticket. “I didn’t
believe it,” Hitchings said. “I thought it was
one of them fake tickets you get for
Christmas.” But the prize was real and, if
taken over a number of years, was worth
a minimum of $1 million. Instead,
Hitchings opted to receive a one-time,
lump-sum payment of $816,373. After
taxes, that leaves her with $540,276. She
plans to purchase a new washer and
dryer set, a new truck for her son, and
also wants to take a trip to Florida to see
the Daytona 500.
Scratcher Theft
The former manager of a San Bruno,
California, gas station was charged with
theft for allegedly keeping winning state
lottery scratchers for himself and selling
customers losing ones. The 27-year-old
manager sold four altered tickets to
undercover California Lottery investigators, San Mateo County District Attorney
Steve Wagstaffe told the San Francisco
Chronicle. He allegedly stole about $300
over a three-month period, the prosecutor
said. According to the Chronicle, the man
was charged with five felony counts of
unauthorized computer access and a misdemeanor count of theft. He is accused of
a scam known as “pinning,” in which a tiny
sharp object—like a pin—is used to
remove a top layer of a ticket to reveal a
unique three-digit code, also known as
the “void if removed number.” The code is
23
then entered into a lottery system computer to see if the scratcher is a winner.
Massive Prizes
A lottery in Spain spread 560 million euros
(US$666 million) among jubilant ticketholders throughout the country, which is
struggling to emerge from a financial crisis that has left it saddled with high unemployment, ABC News has reported. The
“El Nino” lottery is held once a year, and
the 400 top prize tickets, each worth
200,000 euros ($237,935), were all sold in
Leganes, a southwest Madrid workingclass suburb. “Horns are blowing, the
phone doesn’t stop ringing, it’s crazy and
a huge, huge joy because it has all been
sold among neighbors in a very working
class district,” said lottery vendor Gustavo
Fernandez whose shop sold tickets
amounting to 80 million euros ($95 million) in prize money. Lesser prizes were
widely dispersed, including in the
provinces of Albacete, Almeria and
Barcelona. Lottery tickets cost 20 euros
(US$24) and the pot is divided among
thousands of ticketholders, limiting the
jackpot size but spreading winnings more
widely. Spain’s most lucrative lottery, “El
Gordo” (The Fat One), was held this past
December and distributed 2.5 billion
euros (US$3 billion) in prize money.
