Well, I did set my VCR for 2:05 A.M. this morning (6-7-2004; the normal "rerun" time for the Saturday night
Powerball Instant Millionaire program on WLWT in Cincinnati), only to get the last half-hour of an
ER episode and the first half-hour of a
Dateline episode -- so it looks like NBC's Sunday coverage of remembering Ronald Reagan made chaos out of their affiliates' local schedules.
(One question: If
Dateline is supposed to be part of NBC's current effort to elect John Kerry as the next president of the United States, why put this episode on at 2:35 in the morning, when few people are up to watch it?)
The Kentucky Lottery Corporation's official website did announce today that my PBIM studio player, Carolyn Link of Louisville, won the minimum consolation prize of $1,000 for that program, so that means another $100 "home player" prize for me will be coming in my mail in about three weeks. (Click on the following link for their press release, which includes my name on Carolyn's list of "home players"):

PBIM winners list up to date, so someone's going to have to search the individual state lottery websites to see who got to play that show's end-game and how much that player won.
The final drawing for the
PBIM studio and home players from Kentucky will be tomorrow (6-8-2004) but I see that by joining the Kentucky Lottery's "Players Club," I can still win with any PBIM tickets I find on the street where I live in Dayton, Kentucky!
