Tuesday night, I had some extraordinary luck with my scratchers. The first two tickets I scratched were $50 winners. I'll take that! They were $10 tickets. After taking a break to watch Big Brother, which was on a special night, and interfered with my regular scratching schedule... I went back to the kitchen to finish with two crosswords. They take a long time.
The first crossword was from the Gas Station Chicken Store. They only had one left, which was number 059. It was a loser. But because they'd had only one, I went to 10Box to get one out of the machine. The left-side machine was held up by a guy who had a dollar stuck in it, and was waiting for a manager. That's okay. I wanted the right-side machine anyway, because I knew the crosswords were on a lower number. I bought one. Usually I get two, but with Big Brother, I wouldn't have as much time
Anyhoo... I jokingly told Farmer H on my way to the kitchen, "Let's see if I can get another $50 winner!" He gets jealous, you know, of my scratching success. Imagine my glee the next morning, telling him that I DID win $50 on that crossword! But the joke was on ME, because when I scanned it, I actually had a $100 winner! I had missed one word, which gave me five words total, and with the multiplier, it was $100.
Wednesday was another episode of Big Brother, so limited time again. So I went with the new Tetris tickets, which don't take as long as the crosswords, but longer than regular number tickets. They've been out a couple weeks now. I've won small amounts on them. But this one was GREAT!
You have to uncover the shapes at the top, which have a letter and number on them. Then scratch off that shape below. They're kind of hard to see. In the beginning, I needed a magnifying glass to read the letters and numbers, but now I recognize the shapes.
That's a $200 WINNER!
You have to uncover a horizontal line to win. There are usually unscratched shapes blocking the way. But this was a good one! Yes, I definitely scanned it right away, to make sure!
I got this one at the Hillmomba Casey's. It was number 055. That's pretty late in the roll for a big winner, in my experience. They only go from 000 to 059. I can still buy these tickets there, since they'll be in a new roll by the time I go back. Probably won't have such a big winner there for a while, though.
Yes, Even Steven is riding shotgun in T-Hoe with me this week. But I don't want him to overstay his welcome. You know what happens THEN!
