Holy crap.

I won $1000 tonight.

Last night, after dinner with my dad and some family friends, we stopped at a neighborhood bar because they all wanted a coctail (and the restaurant I picked out didn't actually have a full bar). I'm not a drinker, but hey, I love all these people so I wanted to hang out. Being a bar in New York state, there was a Quick Draw lottery going on. I think for folks in New England, it's like Keno. Or something like that. Anyway, I played a few games and ended up winning $55. Cool.

Tonight we went out again with some other family and afterwards we went to the bowling alley where my cousin works. Again, being a place with a bar in New York state there was Quick Draw. Figuring what the heck, I played again. I lost on the first set of games I played, but on a whim I figured I'd try again. My cousin just gave me a look because he thought I was throwing my money away. Usually that's probably the case, but I figured what the hey.. I was still riding the money I'd won the previous night.

Sitting there with my aunt while we watched my dad and cousin play shuffleboard, I looked up and realized that three of my numbers had come in on one of the games I played. As I watched, the rest of my numbers came in. WTF! Not that I'm going to complain.

My aunt made me rub her lotto ticket before we left to go home.

Congrats on the cash, Orikes. It'd be nice if you donated some to charity (or keep it all, it doesn't really matter how you spend it).

Winning money is always good! My parents play Keno at their favorite pub and they win occasionally. Congrats on your luck!
