Okay here's the story. One our local Casinos has Wednesday as seniors day. One thing they have is lunch on a two for one. Both people have to have the same dish. It's always Chinese , but you get a big plateful of Chicken chop suey or whatever else. It changes every week. So we go every Wednesday and for 12 bucks have lunch.
There's also a draw each day for seniors. I rarely filled out a ticket. I had no idea what the draw was about. I thought it was some kind of gimmick. The Micro Manager would sometimes enter. This Wednesday she asked me to enter but I said no I wouldn't bother. However, she entered my name.
The next day the Casino called and asked for me. I wasn't home so the Micro manager asked if she could take the call . Well, yes. She said , "Red won the senior's draw yesterday." The skeptical micro manager thought it was a joke. Well they got the Micro manager cooled down and she found out that I won the Wednesday draw for 500 bucks!!! How about that folks! I won $500.00!
Now I started to think if I'd won much before. I know I've won some things but the only thing I can remember is a 2 oz bottle of whiskey! The other things I won were probably small too.
So it was a fun day.
Yay! Congrats ;
ReplyDeleteNow for the big question: how much does the MM get? hee hee
Everything is in one pot!
DeleteI know who is entering the draw every week now!
ReplyDeleteWell I'm a skeptic but the Micro Manager will certainly enter!
DeleteThat's wonderful Red! It sounds like that lunch really paid off.
ReplyDeleteWell at least it will pay for a few more lunches.
DeleteHow exciting! Congratulations!
ReplyDeletethanks! It surprised me!
DeleteHello, kudos to the Mrs for entering your name. Congrats on the win. That is awesome. Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteThanks! That should pay for a few lunches.
DeleteCool ... don't spend it all in once place!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure the Casino would like me to spend it in one place.
DeleteCongrats.

Thanks. Welcome to Hiawatha House.
DeleteVery cool! The micro manager has the touch, remember that. :)
ReplyDeleteThe joke is that she rarely wins anything and I do. She will quite often write my name on a draw because she thinks I'm luckier than she is.
DeleteCongratulations to the both of you. I hope she got half! I'll bet you'll enter a time or two now. :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks. Well, I know she''ll put a ticket in for me because she thinks I'm lucky.
DeleteHave fun with it!
ReplyDeleteI will!
DeleteGood amount! Enter every week?
ReplyDeleteI'm sure the micro manager will enter every week. Thanks for visiting Hiawatha House.
DeleteCongratulations! That's quite a nice win there.
ReplyDeleteThat's great news Red! Well done!
ReplyDeleteYou said "The other things I won were probably small too..." which made me wonder this: Did you win The Micro Manager in a raffle?
Sheesh! What a lucky guy. I hope you take the Micro Manager on a nice trip for forcing you into entering the drawing!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the win, Red. We always enter a drawing when there's one around, but sadly have never won anything. Maybe our time is coming as well. Spend your winnings for some fun!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Red, what a nice surprise!
ReplyDeleteWay to go Red!...
ReplyDeleteGood for you.
ReplyDeleteBet you enter more often now! :) Congratulations!!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats Red!
