I am so glad I took the opportunity to escape the Mansion on Sunday, before two more days of below-freezing daytime highs and single-digit nighttime temps re-froze all the slick precip on our gravel road. While I was out, I had the opportunity to cash in some winning scratchers.
Farmer H will pick up a few tickets for me, but I don't expect him to redeem my winners. I give him cash, with instructions to buy me the $5 crossword tickets, and the newest $3 tickets. However, while on my own, I can use my winnings to get a $10 ticket. I like to look at them, and see which one gives me the best vibe. That plan worked fine on Sunday.
Here's a $100 winner! On the newest $10 ticket. I picked it out of the machine at Country Mart. Good thing I braved the piled snow to go inside!
No need to scratch all those numbers. I hit the WIN ALL on the second space. It was the $5 minimum prize that comes on that ticket, but I'm not complaining! Twenty $5 prizes means a $100 winner for me!
A little excitement here in my confinement. Now I have to wait for the next thaw to cash it in. Meanwhile, Farmer H will supply me with tickets.

Congratulations. I wish our tickets had the "win all" symbol.
River,
It's exciting to uncover that symbol, even though the prize(s) is usually the minimum for the ticket.
