You'd think Val must be lugging around a purse stuffed with four-leaf clovers, rabbits feet, horseshoes, and the bigger halves of wishbones! Val has more than her fair share of good luck when it comes to lottery tickets. Now she's done it again.
That's my go-to, the $10 ticket. This time it won me $1000! In January, this is the kind of ticket that gave me a $500 winner. No wonder it's my favorite.
I got this one Monday at the Gas Station Chicken Store. As I was scratching it, I was happy to match a number. Then get a couple of the automatic win coin symbols. I figured I'd win $15. But as I kept scratching off more winning numbers and symbols, I thought I'd win $50, and dared hope for a $100 winner. Boy, was I off this time! Instead of the smallest prize amount of $5 being under those wins, it was $100. And ten of them!
Now I have to travel to the city to the lottery office to cash it in. The stores are not authorized over $600.
Wow! What an exciting scratch ticket. I would say that's well worth the trip to the city lottery office, smiling all the way:)
ReplyDeleteIt will take us 90 minutes one-way, same as the casino, but in the opposite direction. Funny how the lottery office seems much farther, even though we will be leaving with a much bigger profit!
DeleteOff to the city! But choose a day when no rain or snow is predicted. What a win!
ReplyDeleteYes, we need to consider the forecast, as well as Hick's busy schedule!
DeleteI hate you! Oh, have I told you that before? Never mind then.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure you have expressed such sentiments before. That's pretty gutsy for a Cardinals-stealer and Daylight Savings Time denier.
DeleteCongrats, that is great, but I hear Steven is licking his chops!
ReplyDeleteYou ain't a-woofin'! I tried to print out my lottery claim forms today, and my new printer would not print! I've only had it a couple months. Used it once. Now it will only print in color, but the forms need to be black.
DeleteI spent two hours with my estranged BFF Google, looking for solutions. Apparently, it is a common problem with the HP Envy Inspire 7200. Seems to be an issue with the ink cartridge drying out if you don't use the printer every day.
Darn you, EVEN STEVEN!
Congrats on the $1000. When you win the $1M, remember your very good friend here.

I will have a special section, marked with velvet ropes, filled with chaise lounges, where all of my very good friends can wait for a cut of my fortune!
DeleteThat's a long way for me to travel for a cut of your eventual fortune. Just mail it to me.
ReplyDeleteI rarely use my printer these days and have never had a print head dry out, but I have noticed even if I am printing documents in black, the colour ink runs out too. it seems the colours get mixed to make black? I have the option to choose black or colour via buttons on the control panel, so the colour ink shouldn't get used, but it does. I won't get a new printer when this one dies. I can put stuff on a usb and take it to the local photo print shop and pay a small fee to have it printed.
I hope you have a mailman as honest as The Pony!
DeleteI used my laser printer for so many years that I am out of habit thinking about the ink cartridges for this inkjet. The color works fine, it's just the black. Even if I set it to a higher dpi, there's no black coming out. When I was between printers, Hick would take a flash drive, or I'd email the document to him, and he'd take it on his phone to have it printed.
I think you should chsnge your blog name to Lady Luck!!
ReplyDeleteThat would be inviting a jinx! I'm having fun playing with enough winnings to continue, and the occasional jackpot like this to stash away. Showing my big wins might be tempting fate already.
