On Wednesday morning, I had the opportunity to be in a commercial that I had auditioned for in the previous week. While it’s just a local spot, it’s still going to air during Padres games, so that’s still quite a number of people that are going to see it.
I’m kind of excited at the prospect of being on tv, even if it’s just a silly little ad. Plus, it’s another job, so it’s a little more money in the bank. Good times.
As I’m sure most anyone reading this site already knows, paying money to play the lottery is a bad, bad idea. However, I recently came across a site that had a lottery theme that you can play for free. Ostensibly, the site is free to use due to the fact that they run continuous advertisements. This bothers me very little as I tend to have the volume turned off on my computer.
Just like the normal lottery, if you hit all of the numbers correctly from their random drawings, you win the grand prize. Unlike the normal lottery, if you get even one of the numbers correct, you get points that can be traded for gift card to Lowe’s, Amazon, or other places. On the negative side, you need a ridiculous number of points to get these gift cards (you need 25,000 to get a gift card, and you start with 1,000).
If anybody is interested in giving it a shot, you can sign up for an account here.* There is currently a little over a million bucks as the grand prize.
*If you do sign up through that link, I get a percentage of what you have won. The points that I get are not subtracted from what you have won; rather, I will get additional points based on whatever you win.
