Remember how I had a little lottery faux pas on Monday, when I mis-read my winning scratcher numbers? I felt like I had to set the record straight about that. I put it out there in The Universe that I was at least happy to have THOUGHT there was a big winner at my fingertips.
Well, surprise, surprise! On my next trip to town, Thursday, I bought that same ticket, but somewhere else.
Uh huh. That's a $100 winner. Not quite as good as the five hundred I had mistakenly thought I won. But still GREAT! I got it out of Country Mart's left-side machine. I hadn't even planned on getting tickets there, but unforeseen events drove me to it.
I'm not complaining! About THIS, anyway...

Whoo-wee! What could you do with $100?
How many boxes of Sno-Caps would that buy? How many packages of Peeps? How many gas station chicken dinners? How many fountain sodas?
Or, do you fantastize about something else that $100 could buy?
Sioux,
I could do a lot with $100, but I don't. I stuff it in my stash of cash for my casino bankroll. Now you've reminded me that I ate through my supply of PEEPS! They're only 8 in a package now, instead of 12. I guess next year it will be down to 4.
I was happy enough to win $28.95 recently on a huge jackpot draw. I would have preferred the huge jackpot, but the smaller amount saw me through the next few days for bread and milk and stuff.
River,
Congrats! I NEVER win on draw games. After about 10 years of that, I stopped playing them! I didn't play a lot. Just a dollar or two a week. It was the constant disappointment that made me quit, not the money!
Our tickets cost quite a bit more than a dollar or two, which is why I'm so often broke, at least I pay the bills and buy groceries before I lay out the dollars for a chance at winning.
River,
The draw tickets here used to be $1. Now they're $2. When the jackpot gets REALLY high, we sometimes buy a couple. Otherwise, I stick to the scratchers, where on average I win back about 40 percent. That doesn't include the $100 or more winners. I don't quite think I break even, but I might be close, considering the $1000 winners I usually get once or twice a year. Farmer H is nowhere near that win rate! So he only buys a couple tickets a month.
