I know I'm gonna need someone to clean my house Yeah, I think you're gonna have to learn how to keep it clean. Well, I'm not very good at that though as you know grandma Ain't you got a sweetie?

I well first of all most women aren't under the assumption that they're just gonna clean just because they're women See I tell her I say my grandma said to clean and she's like well, I'm not gonna do that. That's what she said Well, you tell her Grandma don't live in dirty house. No that's true you don't. Now you know that. I know you always keep a clean house. So do you-

I like my new house. Oh I see I don't even know where your new house is. You know where East Side is. I do know where the East Side is. So you live on the East Side of Poplar Bluff. Yeah you know where the East Side, so you live on the East Side of Poplar Bluff? Yeah, you know where the East Side drug store is. I sure do. Alright, come right down from it.

One block, come straight. You pass a chair chair. And come straight and you see my car on the parking lot. What kind of car do you drive? I drive a 201 Ford Torsch. Oh, well that's good then.

So, have you played the Mega Millions, Grandma? I did tonight. Well, this is good then. What numbers did you play? Well, I always play... three... I didn't play my regular numbers though. So, how do you decide what your regular numbers are gonna be grandma? Well, I know what my regular numbers always try only in parable. I am what are they? three

17 26 33 and 38 and why is that? Is there any meaning behind those numbers yeah I played when we had this show if I played the same numbers a lot of the ball I would hit nine nine point seven million dollars how close were you to winning nine point seven million dollars I played the wrong game so wait a second so there was one time where these numbers were drawn in another game that

you, these are normal, when do you usually play these in the Powerball? Sometimes. So you actually... Listen, I ain't played the Powerball in a long time, honey. But the Mega Millions you're playing? Yeah, but I didn't play them numbers. Oh, did you let the computer pick? How did you determine what you were going to play?

Well, they don't. Oh, I see. So, like, when I used to be at your house, you used to have this little booklet that had, like, six wheels on it. Do you remember this? Is that how you determined to pick three? That's how I played pick three, yeah. And what did those wheels do? Like, I didn't understand that. How did that tell you what was going to be the numbers? Alright, let's say, now listen to me. Alright. Uh, pit three midday was 5-5-0.

Okay. Well, on that wheel you go wherever that 5-5 goes to. You say it and go back under there and see there's four fives or three fives on the wheel. Gotcha. You stay right under them fives down, fly off, and serve them. Okay and that tells you the pick three numbers? If they hit. So have you ever, you've hit the pick three a couple of times right?
