The lottery ticket business has not been very profitable for Val lately. Oh, it's been paying enough to keep playing. Last week I made back enough that I didn't have to dip into my weekly allowance for a single dollar, other than for my 44 oz Diet Cokes. But before that, it was a dry spell that made me consider renting a storage unit and selling items from my dark basement lair for a dollar profit.
Fortune and Even Steven smiled upon me Monday, though. With this one:
It's one of my favorite tickets, but it's been out so long that most placed don't carry it, preferring to keep the newer tickets in their limited case space. Orb K still has it, though. That's a $100 winner! I redeemed this one for the cash, and added it to my casino bankroll for our visit with The Pony.
And 37 was Casey Stengel's uniform number so it has to be lucky!
ReplyDeleteI'll take your word for it!
DeleteI would redeem it for cash too and stash it in my Christmas savings. I usually only win one or two dollars or a free ticket and the cash goes to more tickets until they winning streak runs dry.
ReplyDeleteYes, I put my winnings back into tickets, but anything over $50 gets stashed in the safe. I have a good little fund in there that might eventually be used for a casino trip, or a special purchase. It's been growing for several years, and hasn't been needed yet.
DeleteNow that I would like to see. Val renting a storage unit to sell stuff out of....
ReplyDeleteI would make more money by selling tickets to watch me fail. Because I would not sell items for a dollar profit, and spend 5 nights a week at auctions looking for new merchandise!
