I Didn't Win the Powerball

But some other people did. Looks like they will split the big jackpot.

2 Winning Powerball Tickets

And not mine.

Winning tickets were sold in Missouri and Arizona.

Looks like those two winners will split $580 million.

NCAA Tournament Plays of the Day for 3/25/12

Kansas and Kentucky

After going 2-0 yesterday, it's time to win two more.

Kansas and North Carolina.  A couple of heavyweights doing battle today in St. Louis. 

Both teams haven't played their best in reaching this point and have been pseudo escape artists.

With oddsmakers not sure of North Carolina will be at full-strength, the Tar Heels are getting 2 points.  I still like Kansas to win and cover.  I'm not sure if it is because they are playing close to home in St. Louis, or that they matchup well with North Carolina.

One other trend, not sure if it matters, but North Carolina is 6-20 ATS in their last 26 Sun. games.

Take Kansas and give the 2.

The first game today today is Baylor and Kentucky.

Can any team slow down Kentucky?

On the surface, Baylor appears to have athletes to contain what Kentucky brings to the table.  But the line is up to Kentucky -8.  This is a trap.  They are begging you to take Baylor, don't do it!

The Wildcats are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 NCAA Tournament games as a favorite of 7.0-12.5.  They will win again by double-digits.  Everything Baylor does, Kentucky does better.

It should be a fun game to watch. 

Want to Win the Lottery? Listen to the Radio and Watch TV

Despite nation-wide economic uncertainty, local market consumer research firm Scarborough reveals insights into the demographics and local markets for which dreams of winning big are high. According to this new study, 39% or 91M of all American adults 18+ have purchased a lottery ticket of some sort in the past 30 days.

Some stats for those who won big:

Nearly three quarters (74%) of thesel big winners listened to five or more hours of radio in the past five days.

In addition, 83% watched 10 or more hours of TV in the past seven days.

Not sure if listening to the radio or watching TV made the lottery ticket buyers go out and get a ticket, but it is interesting.

I'm going to watch some more TV, listen to the radio then go buy a lottery ticket.
