Of course I am thankful for the health of all the Hillbilly relatives, and our Mansion, and my fleabags and the new pup that has decided he lives here. I'm still able to hobble around, and have a voice with which to complain as the whim strikes me. The cherry on top of my thankfulness sundae is the luck with which Even Steven has provided me this week. Luck that found me in the form of this little treat on Tuesday:
That's a $3 Christmas ticket. I buy two of them every day at the Gas Station Chicken Store. I usually win nothing, but I have won $3, $6, and $9 since the ticket has been out for about a month. I've even hit the STAR and the CANDY CANE symbols. It's kind of a boring ticket.
NOT NOW! I hit three like symbols on the very first game. Waited to scratch off the prize until I'd uncovered all the games. I was expecting to see a prize of $3. Imagine my excitement when I uncovered a large zero. That means it's not cents. It's a bigger prize!
It was a $100 WINNER! Can't beat that on a $3 ticket. Well. Unless you win the grand prize, maybe. I'm satisfied with the hundred.

Well congratulations! Though I'm not surprised you won, I get more surprised when you don't win anything. I had a big fail on my latest draw tickets, the jackpotted prize was $100 million and I would have been happy with just a share of that, but it wasn't to be. oh well, there's always next year.
River,
I, too, am surprised when I don't win anything!
Sorry about your draw tickets. Any share of that would have been great. I don't play the draw tickets. I figure my odds are better on scratchers. Not for winning a life-changing amount, but for winning my money back, and a sometimes a little extra. Overall, I still spend more than I win, but it's fun to play with my "allowance" money.
