Geocache Description:

THE CACHE IS NOT LOCATED AT THE COORDINATES LISTED ABOVE!

Again, don't go to the coordinates listed above, unless you plan on diving to the bottom of Pewaukee Lake to find the cache (it's not down there!). See the description below to find the real location for this cache.

This cache is placed in honor of my 200th find and 200th travel bug/coin done together on March 27, 2004. My 200th find was the Bug & Breakfast Event. My 200th travel bug was Arizona Roadrunner.

The cache has a lottery ticket theme to it. In order to participate in finding this cache, you must bring an unscratched Wisconsin Lottery scratch-off ticket with you to the cache. When you find the cache, take the lottery ticket that's already in the cache and scratch it to see if you're a winner. If you have a winning ticket, take a close up picture of you holding your ticket next to your face. Also mention in your log how much your winning ticket was. Oh yeah, you get to keep the ticket and cache it in (oops...I mean CASH it in). After signing the log book, please leave behind the lottery ticket you brought with you for the next cacher to scratch.

Many cachers have commented on how much fun they had finding my Hwy. 100 cache, so I'm adding a similar twist to this cache. You will have to put in a little extra effort if you want an opportunity at winning some moola. The cache consists of three waypoints. The first two waypoints are film cannisters located at the base of a tree. The final is a small tupperware container. In order to find the first waypoint, you must locate a travel bug in Waukesha County that lists the coordinates for the first waypoint. When you find the first waypoint, you will find the north coordinates for the cache. You will also be directed to another set of coordinates to the second waypoint, where the west coordinates for the cache are listed. All waypoints and the travel bug are located somewhere in Waukesha County. Please be discreet at the waypoints, as they may be high traffic areas at certain times of the day. Bring the cache sheet and a pen/pencil with you to copy down the coordinates.

There is a first finders prize. The first cacher is welcome to take my 200th find geocoin and get it started on its travels.

Sound like fun? Good luck and thanks for playing the Geocaching Lottery.
