Lucky via a Stranger

Tonight's entertainment was provided by a perfect stranger. Somebody let $10.00 in a lotto-card machine. We figured that someone else was going to take the cards, so why not us? We got 5 $2.00 cards.

In the end, we won $55.00. I'd love to know the story behind whoever invented the scratch-off game piece. What a novel concept - simple, yet apparently very hard to "beat."

Thanks to this anonymous stranger, we got to have that unique thrill of scraping off a paper card and hoping you would make $25,000 in the process.

And don't worry, the money is going to charity. So if it was your $10.00 you left in the machine, you can be happy you did something good for the world.
