Well, my winning $500,000 lotto ticket is just going to have to wait to be pulled out of the barrel until March 31st.  What the hell is up with that?  I checked the news sites last night after 8 pm, February 28th, the supposed date for the drawing.

The original drawing date was January 1st.  After finding out they needed to rake in some more money from ticket sales, it was postponed until the end of February.  Not getting my winning phone call, and not seeing the winning ticket number anywhere, I decided to call the number on the back of my ticket stub to see who won or where I can see the winning ticket.  I was greeted with a recording.  Turns out they still need to raise 40 grand.  They say the 40 grand is for STAR.  We'll see about that.

With struggling ticket sales, and regular postponing of the drawings, this is extremely bad advertising for future $500,000 lottos in my opinion.  Who wants to buy a ticket for a drawing when they never know if it's going to happen?  When do they decide "We better just draw the damn ticket and get it over with.  I think we're making a lot of people upset."

Man, I sure would hate to be the lady who had the task of making the answering machine greeting at Lucky Times Pull Tabs.
