I'll show you how.
With a scratcher win! Not just any scratcher win. A scratcher win that comes maybe once a year for me. Last year twice, but that was extraordinary. This $5 ticket matched every number. I figured they'd all be $5 prizes, and was excited that I'd have a $75 winner. But it wasn't!
IT WAS A $1000 WINNER!
We'll have to drive it to the city to the Missouri Lottery office to redeem it, because retailers can't pay any ticket higher than $600. Such a terrible ordeal to go through.
Val people problems...
No special plans for this windfall. It will be socked away (not in an actual sock) for future consideration. It's not needed for my currently healthy casino bankroll. It might be needed (unfair to me, of course, since I bought it with my weekly cash allowance) for "surprise" purchases by Hick.
You never know when he might be stopping by The Good Feet Store. Or buying a new lawnmower. Or need 20% of the purchase price for a house.
That's better than a penny, and a close second to a lady bug.
ReplyDeleteYes, I might have a better chance of becoming a Future Lotteryillionaire than a Future Pennyillionaire.
Deleteexcellent!
ReplyDeleteI must agree.
Delete$1000?? Holey Doughnuts! congratulations :) :) :)
ReplyDeleteMy tickets lately have been 0,0,0,and so on like that. Time for me to stop buying.
I've been on a winning streak. They never last. Soon enough, I'll be back to having Hick's luck. Even Steven will put me in my place.
DeleteYou need to open another bank account for your fun money so Hick can't get his hands on it.
ReplyDeleteHick is a subtle thief. If he thinks the money is available, he buys things without asking, then I have to juggle funds to cover his folly. I never show the actual balance in the checkbook. What he doesn't know won't hurt him. Or our finances. He generally doesn't lay claim to my gambling funds. I stash them in our safe in a locking money bag for which he has no key. Better safe than sorry.
DeleteWow, just wow.
ReplyDeleteI was pretty surprised myself!
