Skunked again! Val's Future Pennyillionaire Fortune had to tighten its belt again this week for lack of sustenance. I swear, it's as if there's another fortune-seeker out there stealing my pennies before I can get to them! But it's not all gloom and doom. Even Steven is a fair guy. The penny door might be bolted shut, but the scratcher door is wide open!
I used some of my casino winnings from Monday to buy a BIG TICKET on Wednesday at the Gas Station Chicken Store.
I do love looking at the closeup of my spectacular win!
Genius sent me a text asking how our casino trip went, when he got my letter on Thursday. I told him of my $140 profit, and then sent him my scratcher picture. He said, "Holy cow! You keep winning upwards!" To which I replied: "I have a knack. And a habit..."
I'd still be happy to find some coins next week.

You have a lucrative habit ...
ReplyDeleteThe lucrative part, sometimes. The habit part, always!
DeleteMaybe you will find more quarters. Yes, keep winning, too.
ReplyDeleteI will take ANY coin! It's been so long. As for the winning, today was not a good day. No streak lasts forever, whether it be winning or losing. Maybe this was just an anomaly. I'll try again tomorrow.
DeleteWowza! I think Even Steven is more than fair. Ha! Fingers crossed you on finding some coins next week Val!
ReplyDeleteYes, I was totally not expecting that! I was hoping for money back, or at best a $100 winner. There are 20 tickets on a roll for the $30 tickets, and one is always a $100 winner. There are six or seven winners per roll, the smallest amount being $30. So the odds are pretty good to win SOMETHING.
DeleteI used to watch a guy on YouTube who scratched whole rolls at a time. A whole roll costs $600! And the payback is usually $300 to $350, unless you get a roll with a major winner. His name was Bradley something, and he had won a $10 Million prize on Missouri's first $30 ticket. I think his channel got taken down because it was considered "gambling." Millionaire Book Scratcher was the name of it.
Are you sure Even Steven isn't your cousin and playing favourites? Congratulations on that scratcher win :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! Even Steven DOES seem to play favorites. But since I am one of them, I'm not going to draw attention to any unproven nepotism.
