Gambler's Thread 01 (May 08 - Nov 10)

Am not being disrespectful. However, in the past, 1808 would have been a restricted number in the black market and it would have been sold out in the legal 4D draw. So was 1808 sold out for this weekend's 4D draw ?

Why ?

JAKARTA - A Malaysian extremist wanted for a string of terror attacks was named Saturday as the likely culprit behind suicide bombings at luxury hotels in Indonesia that left eight dead and 55 injured.

Police were studying explosives found in the suspects' "control centre" in room 1808 of the Marriott hotel, which was bombed along with its nearby sister hotel the Ritz-Carlton on Friday during the busy breakfast period.

Calif. man with 3 jobs wins $39 million lottery

49-year-old plans to take wife to Hawaii — and hire financial adviser

SANTA CRUZ, Calif. - A man who works three jobs to support his family — including one as a limousine driver — has won a $39 million jackpot in California's SuperLotto Plus.

Clyde Persley, who is married and has a 4-year-old daughter, turned in his winning ticket on Tuesday night and should get his first check for about $16 million in four to six weeks, said a California lottery spokeswoman.

The 49-year-old Santa Cruz man operates candy-making machines for Santa Cruz Nutritionals, drives a limousine and picks up extra hours at a restaurant.

He says his first moves will be taking his wife on a trip to Hawaii and hiring a financial adviser.

He bought his winning ticket at a Santa Cruz market where he has played the lottery twice a week for several years.

Ga. man wins big lottery prizes twice in week

AUGUSTA, Ga. - A 62-year-old man struck it big twice in the Georgia Lottery.

Earl Fritz won the top prize of $777,777 in the instant game Super Lucky 7's and handed a check on Thursday. That dwarfed the $1,000 he won a week earlier in a different game. The carpenter said he felt lucky a week ago and now feels a little bit luckier.

Fritz said he didn't realize he had won the big prize at first because he wasn't wearing his glasses.

The first win came in the instant game Extreme Green.

Fritz and his wife have not decided what to do with the money.

Twice the luck! Man hits lottery jackpot 2 times

FULLERTON, Calif. — An unemployed mortgage worker from Southern California had the luck of his life this week: he hit the jackpot twice in two days.

Sean Sanders went to a liquor store in nearby Placentia on Wednesday to pick up a claim form for his $1,400 win from Tuesday night's California Lottery draw.

While there, he checked his Mega Millions ticket — and found he had won an additional $141,519.

The 35-year-old Fullerton resident said that he is currently unemployed and has been working only sporadically since 2007.

Sanders says he will use the money to pay off bills and invest the rest.

4D idea for the week.

http://www.ndp.org.sg/home.php

Look at the clock on the right side for the National Pledge.

It says 8:22

So, you can either buy 0822 or 2022.

Good luck.

Any views from hard-core Macua high-end gambler. will you like to come Spore's fun and clean casions which is family oriented!! ??

this is way too assumptuous....

that is the impression of a non-casino gambler (green-horn in this society)... please share your view? thanks!

[kennynah]

since when casinos are "clean" and family oriented?


they are no more than gambling dens nicely decorated...and disguised with park rides for other younger family members while the parents scoot off for a hand or two of bacarat or pontoon...

if disneyland type business model can work here...why even introduce the casino element? and then call it Integrated Resort....

and i have said this before...this gahmen has made a terrible mistake but the worst mistake is committed by the people...having allowed them to get away with this heinous crime !!!

Without the 2 casinos, one could also play the one armed bandits at the Clubs or take the Star Cruise during the week-ends ...
