The lead segment for today's show was "Getting Lucky: Making Money off of the Lottery".

Several European local governments have hired Scientific Games (SGMS) to run their lotteries. Even more important, this company also was just added to the S & P Mid Cap 400, which is always extremely good according to Jim's analytics.

Four Play

EMCORE Corp (EMKR) has 4 plays that could make you money. With plays in optical networks, a solar power business, a cell phone business, and a an energy efficient lighting business, this is a company with 4 different segments that could make you money.

Scaling New Heights

Freescale Semiconductor Inc. (FSL) has been an orphan recently, but it had a blow out quarter and Jim thinks it's now ready to roll. This is a good time to sell Motorola and replace it with FSL. This company should be the low-end 3G chip leader.
