I walked into the Gas Station Chicken Store on Saturday as the gang of Side-by-Sides drove off. Some of them are kind of loud. Louder than their blaring radios. Anyhoo, I was really happy that all those people were gone before I got inside.
"What are you doing, throwing a party?"
"I guess so! Only nobody invited ME!"
Fave greeted me with good news.
"I won $50 yesterday! On a $3 ticket. That's all I won, though."
"Well, I won NOTHING from here! So you did better than I did!"
"Yes! Thank you! I'm not complaining. I scratched that ticket first, too. I was excited. On the back it said "10L." So I guess it came from the left machine at 10Box?"
"Yes. That's my code!"
Really. I'm happy for Fave! I don't play those $3 crosswords. I remember buying two that day, though, because they don't have the $3 Froot Loot ticket that I like in those machines.
Every time I buy Fave's tickets along with mine, I give her the second one. For example, when I buy two crosswords, I take the first, she gets the second. That way I don't agonize over the number on the tickets, and which one I want. It's automatic. But THIS TIME, I gave Fave the first ticket of these two $3 crosswords. I reasoned that since I don't play it regularly, the first one is normally the one I would have bought for Fave.
Fave was meant to win that $50! I couldn't be happier for her. It worked out like it was meant to be.

I am happy for her too, what a nice surprise that was.
River,
Yes, especially on a $3 ticket!
