I Crowed Because I Won $75, And Then I Met A Woman Who...

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...
