Farmer H won $15 on a $5 scratcher the other day. He should have been content that he actually had a winner.
"I wish I could win something good."
I was thinking that by something good, he meant $1000, like me. But no.
"About $8000 would be good."
"There's the thing. You would spend it on your own junk, and I would put it toward the household. Like health insurance, or The Pony's college housing."
"No you wouldn't."
"Yes. I would. What am I going to do, sit on $8000 and use it for casinos? I don't think so. I used my first $1000 ticket to buy Genius a laptop. And other big wins to give the boys and YOU gambling money for the casinos when we took our first Christmas trip to Oklahoma for CasinoPalooza. But you would keep all that money for your own selfish self."
Seriously. That is why Farmer H can't win on the scratchers. Life is a balance. Give and take. He's just a taker.
Seems feasible enough, but doesn't explain why I don't win big. The universe must know by now that A big(huge) win for me would result in approximately twenty family members benefitting from it.
