I was riding a winning lottery wave at the time I mysteriously injured my rumpus/leg while sitting on the short couch. Not wild jackpots, but I had two days in a row with $100 winners, and also two days in a row (one overlapping) with $50 winners. That stopped when I took several days off. I haven't been shut out, but my wins are on the low side of my usual return percentage.
August 6 was the day of my unfortunate incapacitation. The start of my not-winning streak. Even when I ventured back to town, my scratchers were not producing much. On August 13, I got a text from Genius. You may recall that he just bought his dream home, and had a month to get moved while waiting for his apartment lease to end. During the transition, Genius and Friend moved a few items at a time, every night after work.
I had asked if Genius was getting his mail okay at the new address, and he said he was.
"I've read your letters, but there's a stack of lottery tickets here on the kitchen counter. We don't have any coins to scratch them! We don't carry money, and the coins are back at the apartment."
Anyhoo... on August 13, I got a text from Genius:
"Holy cow! Won $1000 on a lottery ticket this morning! It's labeled CH. It's one of the 50X. Not sure exactly when it's from. I was 4 weeks back on these from when we moved."
"That's from the Gas Station Chicken Store. Those red tickets, that Dad bought the $1000 winner from that guy at his store. And Dad's friend won $100 on it twice, and then I won $100 on it. Congrats!"
"I'll get these mailed back soon! Haha. I actually went 3/4 on the tickets this morning. Won a total of $1015 on the four tickets."
So that kind of explains it. My luck is in Pittsburgh! I was fortunate to have my moderate winning streak, what with this big winner lying on a kitchen counter in Pittsburgh!
