If I stick to the limited budget, it's cheaper than a movie. And at least a horse race lasts longer than a roulette spin :-) Other than that--I'm with you!LizbethSelvighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14068753571254601527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3417651694294092310.post-49488189731239172152016-08-17T16:25:43.509-04:002016-08-17T16:25:43.509-04:00Thanks so much E.E. -- I'm so glad it worked f...Thanks so much E.E. -- I'm so glad it worked for you.

You and your brother could double your money being lucky charms :-)<br /><br />And you win the point. Our contract actually specifies you won't be patient. I'll go start typing.

I took that money and ran. I've won $1500 on a scratch off ticket, plus several $100 to $250 tickets. My youngest brother is lucky. He's won $15,000 on a scratch off ticket. Now, my mom, middle brother and sister... they have NO luck. I don't let them near me when I'm gambling.<br /><br />And, I'll wait for this next book... but, no where in our contract was patiently mentioned.Julie Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04746804352715971545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3417651694294092310.post-69702138814256853792016-08-16T19:00:41.825-04:002016-08-16T19:00:41.825-04:00nope

I've definitely won larger jackpots here and there over the years, but more often than not, it's a losing game ... but the entertainment of it is what I enjoy. Seeing the board games we played as kids or TV shoes or movies turned into an electronic game to sit and play is just fun! :)LynnBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17100470790869740353noreply@blogger.com
