So yesterday I went to go wash my truck which has been sitting in the driveway forever. The car wash I went to was one of the bullshit token ones and the change machine only took $1's or $5's. I ran out of tokens as I was rinsing it off and I didnt have any dollar bills left and didnt want to waste 5 bucks for shitty tokens I dont need.
Luckily there is a Walgreens right next to the car wash, so I walk in and ask the lady if I could get change for a 5. She says the register doesnt open unless there is a purchase, she suggests buying some candy right there on the shelf since its for a good cause (money was being sent to some institution or something) so I figured what the hell. Picked up a KitKat and paid.
A long receipt printed out and the lady had this WTF look on her face. Turns out I won a 2nd place prize. No big deal, just a $25 gift card to Walgreens, still, pretty cool for just buying a cheap candy.
Anyway, it got me thinking this morning, what if it really was my lucky day and I blew it by not buying a lotto ticket or scratch off or something?
Did I screw up?
