shootingstar Posted March 16, 2019 Share #1 Posted March 16, 2019 in gambling. For the 2nd time at work, I threw $2.00 with 6 other employees for a lottery win. Yesterday I won a donut, via a national donut 'n coffee chain. Then later, I won $1.00 discount coupon and separately, a slushie. (I dislike slushies unless I was desperate after a 70 km. bike ride.) ?? Just before Christmas, I won a set of 4 glasses (with corporate logo) and an elaborate wine drinking set with a thermometer, bottle opener, decanter...via an employee raffle. This was spawned by: my partner winning $300.00+ new stainless pots and pans 4 yrs. ago. I had won earlier a cloth book bag via a bookstore, $30.00 via another employee lottery (15 yrs. ago), a book of poems (which I never read), salad dressing (which I never used) and a granola bar.

Square Wheels Posted March 16, 2019 Share #2 Posted March 16, 2019 My wife wants to walk to the store with me to buy lottery tickets. Powerball is close to a 1/2 billion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It bothered me abit when my parents would spend $10.00 or less on lottery ticket(s) each time, several times per month. They probably won a total of $60.00 ….however these are same people who never went out for daily coffee/muffin and only ate out at restaurants several times annually. I mean my parents were living at poverty line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, that was mean. I would want nothing to do with the publicity and would spend the rest of my life quietly trying to help as many people as I could. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any one would be an idiot to want much/any publicity with that type of win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
