Like a squeaky wheel getting the grease, Mrs. HM made The Universe sit up and take notice. The day after she wrote a scathing review of her recent terrible treatment with losing scratchers, the spell was broken! Well. Kind of. I still only had two winners. TWO! That's a travesty. The good news is that they were GOOD winners. Not that there's ever a bad winner, just disappointing winners if they're only money-back.
The very first ticket I scratched was a winner:
I was happy to see the first COIN symbol. I knew I'd at least won back my $10 price of the ticket. With the second coin, I figured it could be two $5 prizes, so still money back. The third gave me news that it was at least $15. Then they kept coming! By the time it hit ten coins, I knew it was at minimum $50. To see $10 under the first coin was fantastic. $100, baby! A great win. FINALLY.
I continued my scratching sessiong. Loser, loser, loser. Nothing was paying me from my fives and threes. Until...
This is my new favorite ticket, the Loteria. Coming through with a $40 win. Yay, ME!
Only two winning tickets is not actually a good sign that things are turning around. Then again, I'll take a $140 win any day!
