Monday had temps in the 40s, but the wind was gusting to 39 mph, and I didn't like the thought of the windchill. Have I mentioned that I'm always cold? And that I hate wind?
Anyhoo... I decided to stay home, and called Farmer H to ask if he'd bring me some scratchers. Specifically, some $5 crosswords, and some $3 crosswords. He did good!
I won $6 and $12 on the little crosswords, and my last big crossword won $75!
I was really happy, because lately I haven't been getting many winners, and if they are, it's only the ticket value, or maybe double. I can't really complain, because my casino luck was good.
Anyhoo... there's a checker at 10Box who always asks me if I've been doing any good with the scratchers. So I was happy on Tuesday to inform her:
"I won $75 on a $5 crossword yesterday!"
"That's great. I won $1000."
"WHAT??? Which kind of ticket?"
"That newest $20 ticket. The 40th anniversary ticket. Out of the right machine."
"Congratulations! I'll be sure not to buy that ticket here, heh, heh!"
I was really happy for her. I don't play that $20 ticket, but The Pony does every now and then. This gal doesn't play the crosswords. So our wins can coexist without jealousy.
So sad that I had to rely on FARMER H to get a decent winner...
If you add on the smaller prizes you won $93. I won a decent prize on draw tickets, a total of $84.90, which was enough to buy a couple of new tickets for next week's draw.
ReplyDeleteRiver,
DeleteYes, but that checker is only interested in a "good" win on a single ticket. I don't want to take up her time with something unremarkable.
Wow! Congrats on that win. I think the highest I ever won on a draw ticket was $89, the very first time I played PowerBall. Farmer H was working in the city, and they had a guy who drove to Illinois to buy their tickets. Missouri didn't have the lottery back then, nor casinos.
Since then, I've only won maybe $5 as the highest. So I don't play draw tickets. The Pony DID win $100 one time on the Cash4Life I buy daily. Which is now kaput. So I get The Pony a Show-Me Cash draw ticket. Which is a dollar cheaper, only $2 with the Easy Match feature.
