RQ, that is a very charitable way to describe my butchering an attempt at a trifecta array. If I ever have a competency hearing, I hope you are the presiding officer. I would have called it a brain fa**. After singling #3 in the win slot, I then proceeded to include the same #3 (rather than #4 which I had intended) in both the second and third slots. To compound the error, I then proceeded to do the same thing in the next array where #3 had been singled in the second slot.

I'm just amazed that you were able to compute the actual cost of such a bizarrely structured ticket. Guess I could have saved both of us a lot of grief if I had just played a grand slam.

I'm just afraid that some day you'll find a way to play a grand slam with 100 winning combinations and you'll short circuit whatever brain I have left!

Best laugh I've had all week. Thanks.

Don't worry. Barring a dead heat, there can't be more than 27 winning combinations in a grand slam. Even that is extremely difficult to do. But I'll keep trying.
