								| The first ever 5 Houses Drawing is rapidly approaching.  Only 13 hours to purchase your tickets before the 10pm Eastern drawing.  Hopefully everything will run without a glitch.  We shall find out.  But get those tickets now!  Heck, I even got myself a few.

								| I know.  I initially had it at 15 numbers, but it's not like we have 2 million people here buying tickets.  So I tried to get a combination that wasn't too difficult to obtain but not too easy either.  I don't want people winning every week.  But I feel with the odds, I should get people winning every few months or so, on average.  Of course, that all depends on how often people are playing.  The more the merrier.

 The odds are a little higher then currently posted seeing as it wasn't possible to pick the winning number

								| Looks like nobody won!  Highest payout was 10 credits to 2 people.  I'm gonna modify it a little bit so starting next week you can view the payouts to see who won what.

								| Yeah, that first time was sort of  a bust.  Good thing I resolved it quickly enough.

								| If you're asking if I could choose 1s for all the numbers, the answer is yes.  For each House, you can choose any number between 1 and 8, inclusive.
