I am not sure who has ever played in the lottery but as of today the jackpot is over $500,000,000. That is over a half a billion dollars. I asked a cashier at a gas station near Shiocton, WI if people were buying lottery tickets and she replied that the machines have been humming. Well the winning numbers will be picked tonight and someones dreams may come true.
I had a certain something happen to me the other day that proved to me that I am in fact I am a "lucky" guy. I am not sure I believe in what everyone seems to view as luck; but if I did I would have gone right out and bought myself a lottery ticket. I recently purchased a new gas grill for...grilling I guess...anyway as I was putting the grill together I opened a bag that contained the ignitor switch and the battery that would provide the power for the ignitor to spark. I know it all sounds complicated but when I push a button I hear a click and then a whoosh and then the grill is lit.So as I am about to slip the battery into the ignitor case I noticed that the battery had a unique name brand label; the label had three large sevens on it. Wow my first thought was this is gonna be a great grill, my second thought was that today might be a good day to get a lottery ticket. Now please bear in mind I have never purchased a ticket. If I had done so I would likely have done it wrong, and all my earnings would have gone to someone else. I decided to save my money and apply it toward the purchase of a gas tank and gas; which nearly requires a loan from the bank...or winning the lottery...what was I thinking?
Here is a sermon for you..."You gotta play to win"...o.k. so I'm not one of the preachers in the family - but, even I can think of a great message here...Blessings from Ringle
ReplyDeleteI have never purchased a lottery ticket. I did however at one point put my name in a drawing at Cousins to possibly win 50 of them. When they called to say I was the winner I started thinking 100 dollars, 200 dollars.... a thousand dollars. I won 21 dollars.
