The Lottery

woah two posts in one day.

Lucas and I went to the grocery yesterday and right before we left I decided to play my hand at the lottery machine. You see, you put in a dollar bill and a scratch-card comes out and you have a chance to win a money ammount, another card, or nothing.

Just so you know, I NEVER play the lottery and I usually chuckle at people who drop their bills into these kinds of machines. I also rarely carry cash on me because I know that I'll spend it on stupid stuff. Well yesterday was no exception. I put in a dollar and waited w/ high anticipation for my chance to win up to $200 holiday dollars. The machine spit my card halfway out and then sucked it right back in. Nothing else happened.

What a rip-off. I mean I know the lottery is a gamble, but the gamble isn't supposed to be with the machine! I was too proud to go ask the front desk to give me back my dollar which I was basically giving away in the first place. Plus how would I explain it...

"yeah I played the lottery and lost my dollar.'

'of course you did. have a nice day.'

Stupid lottery.
