Sweet Gummi Mary! Remember how I had WIN ALL symbols on two scratchers bought Sunday and Monday, for $100 winners? Well. On Wednesday, I bought two of the new $5 tickets at the Gas Station Chicken Store. They have two rolls going of the new tickets. So they weren't consecutive.
Pony House had a water leak, which I have not yet revealed on either blog. So we are paying half of The Pony's water bill before it was fixed. The Pony said rather than cash, he wanted his portion in lottery tickets. So one of those new tickets was earmarked for him. I gave him the one that had his birthday as the ticket number. Mine was a loser. The Pony's was not.
I took it by when I picked up his house payment on Thursday. He scratched it in T-Hoe, after commenting how he didn't really like the graphics on the new ticket, as they looked cartoonish.
"Oh, Mom. I just got a WIN ALL!"
"Shut up! No you didn't!"
"Uh huh. I DID."
That's the symbol for the WIN ALL. The Pony had already scratched the amounts, and then sent the ticket home with me, to reserve for the next casino trip. He won't spend his own money to gamble, but he'll use his winnings from scratchers.
Yeah. It coulda been MINE! This means that over four days, I bought THREE scratchers with WIN ALL symbols, worth $100 each.
When you're on a streak, you're on a streak!
His luck is because YOU are lucky. If he had purchased the scratchers, he probably would won nothing.
ReplyDeletePerhaps you should begin a business where you buy people's lottery tickets... and you get a percentage of their winnings.
Sioux,
ReplyDeleteI think you're right. Even The Pony won't tell me which tickets he wants with his winnings. "Get whatever catches your eye. Whatever seems right."
I'm afraid my "customers" would also expect me to contribute a percentage of my own money to their losses!
Does that make you a streaker? will we be hearing stories on the news about a female streaker running about the area?
ReplyDeleteHa Ha
Congrats. to The Pony.
River,
ReplyDeleteNo, thank the Gummi Mary, I am NOT a streaker! It was all the rage when I was in high school. One of the seniors had his picture taken for the yearbook, streaking. Only it just LOOKED like he was streaking. I was there when they took the picture. He had on his gym shorts, and was holding a big gray trash can in front of his "streaking" area. So it LOOKED like he was only wearing his black Converse tennis shoes, but he was actually clothed.
