I wasn’t the big winner in the Fancy Farm Picnic car raffle.
The chances were slim, I know. But anytime I enter a raffle or play the lottery, I seriously think I am going to win.
Crazy, right?
I’ve read the odds on the Mega Millions drawing. It’s some insane figure like 1 in 175,711,536. And yet, on the extremely rare occasions I buy a lottery ticket — or a raffle ticket for the Fancy Farm Picnic, where the odds are a wee bit better…
I really think I’m gonna win.
Does everyone who plays the lottery feel such certainty when they lay their money on the counter? They’re investing — and losing — funds on a more regular basis, so maybe not.
But when the lottery says “you can’t win if you don’t play”…
I expect to win.
Dollar signs
Please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, pretty please with sugar on top…
I actually played today. Heck, everybody played today… because the jackpot is so freakin’ huge.
But the danger in my playing is that I think I will actually win.
I think I can. I think I can. I think I will.
Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease.
