IF THE HOOEY GODS ARE LISTENING? "I'D LIKE A CHANCE TO REWARD MY FOLLOWERS" (c'mon Powerball!) BRIBERY IS AFOOT!

           If you're signed up as a follower to this blobber when the administrator wins tonight's Powerball drawing, you just might be tracked back to your nest for some serious reward points.

           What we have here is a shameless plea for unified karmic thought, with untold joys awaiting all who have joined in the party.  Or it could be viewed as a mass-psychology experiment based upon potential reward as an incentive baseline.  Or, more than likely, it's a pathetic attempt by a blogger to get people to sign up as followers by offering vague promises of unlikely winnings.

             I was just out back feeding the boids when it hit me that sharing a jackpot with some semi-strangers might be about as fun as taking care of family and friends. Nothing charitable or altruistic about it, either. That's already on the schedule, and separate from the current wish list thingie.

            If you're not following this blog, what have you got to lose by signing up? 

            Perhaps more than you could imagine...

            Tonight's drawing is for over a quarter of a billion dollars. 

           

           This here's nothing but the simple bribe of possibility. 

           As of this moment (3:57PM on Wednesday, March 20th, 2013) there are 99 followers signed on to Squatlo Rant.

           The next follower to take the plunge gets the lion's share of tonight's blobber giveaway bounty.

Still no #100? Is a quarter of a billion dollars not incentive enough?

Wow, blob surfers have amazing restraint!

They draw in about an hour or so... (tick, tick, tick...)

All right, just because you asked so nicely..... ;P

Ok I'll bite, but you stand about as much chance of winning as the politicians do of curing our ills...

Okay... here's the update. Got some numbers right, got too many of them wrong, and YET no one got 'em all right.

So the pot swells to over $300 million for Saturday's draw.

Here's something you math majors can ponder: I went into last night's drawing with 99 followers. Two more signed up, bringing my total to... 100?

I'm not good with numbers, but surely THAT's not right.

Someone dropped out? Someone saw a plot unfolding to hand them lottery lucre and decided to bail?

Hmmmm.... makes me wonder.

Squatlo, it's blogger. I've had the same thing happen on several occasions. About as easy to figure out as the lottery numbers. Back to the ommmmmming.

I guess that means I didn't win. I'll wait until after the Saturday drawing to check my numbers. I usually get a ticket good for two draws, so I only have to do it once a week.
