Lotteries

Ok, so I'm checking my Pick 6 tix this morning AND...yes you guessed it, I won......ok, so it wasn't 6 for 6 or even 5 of 6...BUT....4 of 6 is pretty ok. Comes to about $56....but I'll take it....which brings me to the point of my message today......have a seat and listen to my tale.....way back when, can't remember how long ago, I used to keep the lottery tix I bought in my wallet.....and the size of my wallet increased with each ticket I put in there....I'm a devout precrastinator...so after a while, when I couldn't sit on the wallet anymore, it was suggested to me to go check the damn tix.......so I go to my local lottery place, which was the liquor store I frequented...and asked a friend of mine there just to check the wad of tix for me......and there was a WAD, believe me.....so after about the.....let's say, 30th ticket.....my friend says, hey you won.....now I'm figuring, at best 3 out of 6......but he says no, you hit 5 out of 6.....of course I thought he was shitting me, but he was in fact not shitting me.......I had in fact hit for 5 of 6 for about $2,700.00...I was floored..had to fill out the state forms and mail them in....and sure enough, within a couple of weks, I got my check.....which was promptly tuned into a blazing fast new 386 computer....see, for those of you who know computers, I told you this was a while ago...anyway...this tale is for those of you who don't believe that people win the lottery...they do....now I only hit the smaller amounts, but I do have an employee who's husband hit the Pick 6 when it 1st started, so it was only a Million payed over 26 years...and that was so long ago, that it is well past the 26 years since he won it....but it does happen...so keep, or start, playing those tix
