We asked last week what you would do if you won the then
$52,000 Penny progressive jackpot. Rob S. had quite an interesting plan:
First I’d pull out $4,000 towards taxes - I know that’s
not enough, but it’s a start. Next I’d set up a four-year plan to teach my four
grandchildren about money. Two of them are my son’s, two are my daughter’s and
they range in age from 10 to 14 years old. Of course this will all be done in
conjunction with their parents. I’d go to each of them and tell them that
they’ll receive $250 a month from me over the next four years. That would
account for the other $48,000. Over the first few months I would introduce a
variety of options to them including how much will this will mean to them over
a period of four years; how to buy the phones, computers, designer clothes, and
other “things” they want by saving over a few months; how they can take money
in advance by lessening the total they’d receive; and other options about their
money. All this would ease the financial burden of raising teens on my son,
daughter and their spouses. Should also teach the grandkids some valuable
lessons. I haven’t thought it all the way through, but I know it would be a
good learning experience for all of us.
Our Penny Progressive Jackpot is now over $55,000 . . . what would you do if you win it? Send
us and email by clicking here and we’ll consider using you “story”
in next week’s blog.

- Sports Book Mike’s Musings:
- NFL favorites went 5-8 against the spread last week. 7 of the dogs won in yet another wild week. Could the most “consistent” NFL team be the Bengals?
- Speaking of Bengals, the "Dorothy parlay" has not fared well this year: Lions and Tigers and Bears, oh my.
- What a difference a week makes: The Ravens were 20:1 to win the Super Bowl. First they beat the Seahawks and then they beat the Patriots and promptly went to 6:1. Sometimes it pays to strike when you have the hunch and not wait until after your team gets hot.
- In college football, some folks are still hoping for those Ducks. Seems like two SEC teams are nearly a lock, along with the Big10 champ. So, a Clemson loss looks like the best chance.
- Monday Night’s Chiefs/Chargers game is in Mexico City – normal 5:15 PM start.
- Our Pro Pick’em Progressive Jackpot is at $3,829 this week. Pick all 15 NFL winners on our weekly $5 Parlay Card and it’s yours. Each week it is not “hit,” the jackpot climbs based on the collective contest play at the CVI, Sharkey’s, Bodines and SlotWorld.
- Martin Truex
Jr., Kevin Harvick, Denny Hamlin and Kyle Busch will compete for the NASCAR
Monster Energy Series title this Sunday in the Ford EcoBoost 400 at the Homestead-Miami Speedway
- Seasonal Wagers on board this week include NFL and NCAA Football, NBA and NCAA Basketball, NHL Hockey, Canadian Football Division Finals, Horse Racing and this Sunday’s NASCAR season finale.
- Futures Bets on the board include: 2020 NCAA
Football Championship, 2020 Super Bowl, 2020 NCAA College Basketball, 2020 NBA Championship and 2020 Stanley Cup.
