Low-Rollin' With The Pony

Every day when I cash in my winning scratchers and buy more, I get some for The Pony. He doesn't ask. I send Genius tickets every week, so I figure The Pony should get some too. Unless The Pony has winners to cash in, I spend about $6 on him. He likes the draw tickets, mainly Cash4Life with the easy match option for an instant win up to $500. For a while, he was winning $2, $3, $4, or up to $10. For about the past 7 days in a row, The Pony has not had a win on the Cash4Life.

Wednesday, I bought The Pony two $1 tickets, a $2 ticket, a $3 ticket. I didn't have high hopes. I can't win on anything under a $3 ticket.

The Pony sat down with his supper plate and the tickets at the marred coffee table. He commenced scratching. Farmer H was on an important phone call, so The Pony and I were whispering. The Pony scratched his first $1 ticket, and raised his eyebrows. Then he moved on to scratch the other tickets. Not much reaction. When he was done, I said,

"Oh. I guess maybe you only won on the first one?"

"No. Actually, I won on ALL FOUR of my tickets! The $1 won a ticket. The $2 won two dollars. And the $3 won three dollars. But this first $1 ticket... LOOK!"

 

 

No, it's not a heart-stopping win. But it's pretty darn good for a $1 investment. The Pony said, "It wasn't big enough to interrupt Dad's phone call, but it's a lot for that ticket!"

 

I don't know how The Pony is so lucky on these lower tickets. I could buy 10 in a row, and maybe only win a ticket. IF that.
