Skunked CENTSless

There. You don't even have to read it. The title says it all. Not a single penny was found by Val this week. That's a travesty!

Even Steven must have been ashamed of himself, though, because on Friday, he gave me something better than a penny.

Funny thing about this $100 winner. I had a dream Thursday night that I was in a casino, playing poker. I never play poker. I even remember part of the hand I had showing: Ace, Ace, Queen. When I woke up, I tried to think which of my scratcher tickets would fit in with such a dream. This Casino Royale was it. Not many places have these tickets any more. The Gas Station Chicken Store has it.

When I made my weekly stop for gas on Friday at the Sis-Town Casey's, I saw it in the scratcher case. While I was waiting for my turn, the lady ahead of me bought FOUR of this very ticket! That threw a monkey wrench into my plan. I don't like to buy the same ticket right after somebody else buys one. I figure they got the best one, the one meant for me when I walked in. I knew I could get this ticket at The Gas Station Chicken Store. But still, I asked for it at the Sis-Town Casey's.

It was the first ticket I scratched when I got home. BAM! $100 winner! There's my matching number, right on the aces. I'm sure it was purely coincidence...

Let the record show that the Casino Royale ticket I bought at The Gas Station Chicken Store was a loser. Oh, well. Good thing I defied my instincts, and got this one first. Sorry, random lady who bought the four tickets ahead of it. You were just Even Steven's accomplice.
