Golden Knights Raised their Banner in True Vegas Fashion
When Las Vegas was awarded an NHL franchise, it was met with plenty of skepticism. However in the 5 seasons Vegas has had a team, they have reached the playoffs 4 times. And have never won less than 43 games in full seasons. The Golden Knights ascended to the top of the hockey world by winning the Stanley Cup last year. The Vegas Golden Knights have been a roaring success for the NHL. And Las Vegas has shown to be a good hockey market. They have embraced the glitz and glam of Las Vegas while remaining a really good hockey club. Vegas opened the season with the newest expansion franchise in the league, the Seattle Kraken. Before the game, which the Golden Knights won, the Golden Knights raised their banner in true Las Vegas fashion.
Are you not entertained!? That was awesome. There was a time in my life where a banner raising ceremony wouldn’t cross my radar. But the way the Golden Knights have incorporated the Las Vegas lifestyle has made me a fan of the team. And last night when the Golden Knights raised their banner in true Las Vegas fashion I only like them more. It might be the sound of a winning slot machine that gets me going, but this is so much cooler than just pulling on a rope to hoist the banner into the rafters. The Vegas Golden Knights are a legitimate NHL franchise on the ice. Off the ice they are changing the game. Whether it’s the banner celebration or pregame entrance, Vegas knows what they’re doing. Here is the Golden Knight intro from Game 1 of their series against Edmonton last season.
Powerball Numbers And Red Ball That Have Been The Luckiest
As the Powerball jackpot now approaches two billion, public interest builds. Personally, here in Florida, I don’t even play my Powerball numbers until it hits a billion. We’ve become so spoiled. Not just Florida people. Everywhere.
Although the big jackpot would be nice, we’ve had some recent luck in Florida with the secondary prize of 1 million. It’s called “Match 5” when you get the 5 white ball numbers correct, but not the red one. Back on September 25th three Match 5 tickets were sold in Florida. One from a Publix in Kissimmee. Another from a Walmart in Kissimmee. And the third one was from a Circle K in Eustis. 2 more here in Florida on the September 30th drawing. The October 9th drawing had a 2 million dollar winner in Hollywood Florida. So we’re close.
The one million dollar prize would be nice, but I want the one billion +. With the one million win, after taxes and lump sum early payment penalty, you’re looking at somewhere around $640,000.00. Maybe less. That’s barely enough to buy a decent house in Southwest Florida. I remember the times when being a millionaire meant you could retire early. Not so much anymore.
With the jackpot hitting in the billion range, it’s time to head to Publix of a nearby gas station and pick up tickets. But rather than just getting random numbers, let’s take a deeper look into this. Some numbers pop up more than others. The “lucky numbers” if you will. So thanks to Powerball Statistics, we’re able to see which numbers come up the most.
Powerball Numbers And Red Ball That Have Been The Luckiest
This data was updated on Tuesday October 10, 2023. The data is based on 948 drawings since Wednesday, October 7, 2015.
If you’re reading this after that date, well, you may need to adjust the numbers. Finally, this is for entertainment only. Any money you lose is on you. I’m just providing some data. I haven’t won with these Powerball Numbers yet, either. Good luck everyone. Let’s have a look at those numbers.
