Looks like I gloated too soon! I might have laughed last, when my scratcher win of $100 bested The Pony's scratcher win of $77. But I'm not laughing best. In fact, I'm not laughing at all!
Thursday, I took off alone on my weekly errands. The Pony elected to stay home and loll around by Poolio. He DID say I could cash in his $5 winner from yesterday, and buy him a scratcher of my choosing. Such a giver, that Pony! Of course it was no hardship for me. I had several winners of my own, after stashing my $100 windfall with my casino bankroll.
Anyhoo... I got some tickets when I got gas at the Sis-Town Casey's. Some at the School-Turn Casey's. And some at the Gas Station Chicken Store. When I got home, I fanned out the selection, mentioning where they came from. (I write initials on the back, so I know where I have the best luck.)
The Pony zeroed in on one immediately. The newest $5 ticket, called Jumbo Bucks. It's a green one, with the regular numbers to match, plus a little box that might contain an instant $50 winner. I was happy he picked that one. I don't like it, but I wanted a selection of different kinds.
I was still adding Great Value Sugar Free Cherry Limeade powder to my magical elixir when The Pony let out a hoot at the cutting block, where he likes to scratch.
"I JUST WON $50!"
Farmer H was passing by, on his way out the door to go sell a gun, and added his two cents. "There may be some numbers that match, too." Heh, heh. As if Farmer H ever won something like that.
There were no further matches. The Pony was thrilled with his $50. I was not so thrilled with my single winner. Of $5.
The Pony is stealing my luck!

Time for The Pony to move out so your luck can come back. Surely there's a spare shack in Shackytown?
River,
The Pony actually HAS his own shack over in Shackytown. It's the Knife Shack. With swords, a miniature knight in armor, some Greek or Roman helmets, and a couple of statues Farmer H put there, for lack of a statue shed. Like his carved wooden African lady, and that Jessica Rabbit cut-out looking woman that he brought back from France, after The Pony had asked for a French maid. I think the scary wooden masks are also in the Knife Shack. The Pony would feel right at home.
Today, The Pony won $15, and I won $5. Did not break even.
