This is my lottery ticket. LOOK I won $15.00.
My little Sis won a thousand dollars on this same lottery game scratch off yesterday. She was so excited that she called me first.
There's a little bit of a funny story that goes along with her lotto win.
She scratched her thousand dollar win in her church parking lot . I'm betting she didn't tell the congregation that she won. :)
This brought back some fond memories of my Mom. She always said it was a SIN to gamble and that we shouldn't do it. But yet when she and I went out and I bought lottery scratch offs, she would be scratching MINE off going down the road and would say "If I win something big we will split it" I would always be wishing that she would scratch off something BIG on just one just so I could hear the excitement in her voice . She never did hit a big lottery win, but in typing this post I just realized although I didn't hit the big one here, I did in my heart because it brought back some precious memories of my Mom that put a :) on my face.
I really miss her!
In life I've learned it's always a gamble! It just depends on how much you are willing to risk.
Update~Here's a Copy of her ticket
I played the lotto a lot when I lived in AZ. I never won anything. I gave up the habit cause coffee is expensive now and I need it more.
ReplyDeleteSome people you just never quit missing.
Admiral, Coffee prices have doubled and some brands have tripled around here.
ReplyDeleteI still like to gamble but shhh don't tell anyone :-)
Are you sure you're not a pilot? Bon appétit!
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome... good for her!
ReplyDeleteWhoohooooooo! I hope you sis doesn't take you to McD and split the $1 menu meal with you. lol
ReplyDelete*your... I shouldn't laugh so much when I am typing.
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoy the dinner.
ReplyDeleteReminds me of a joke:
A guy asks his wife, "What would you do if I hit the lottery?"
She replies, "I'd take half of it, and leave your sorry ass!!!"
The guy reaches in to his pocket and pulls out a lottery ticket. He says, "Well, this is your lucky day! I just won ten bucks. Here's your five...now hit the road!"
At least you get a dinner out of it.
ReplyDeleteLOL, sometimes it's the 'little' wins that add up big!
ReplyDeleteA thousand bucks is a helluva nice stocking stuffer!
ReplyDeleteI still miss my Mom, too, and it's been 47 years since she left this vale o' tears.
I think Buck went to Sunday School.
ReplyDeleteJust sayin'...
I've still got my Mom with me. Probably not for very much longer, though. The clock ticks faster these days.
