Did I possibly waste a lucky day?

[phyzik]

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 bull 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 ty 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 ins ution or something) so I figured what the . 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?

token car washes suck!

kit kat is not bad.

i never knew walgreen's had contests like that?

you should go spend $25 on scratchoffs. good luck!

I ran some calculations and its safe to assume that if you win a 25 dollars Walgreens gift certificate it will translate to millions in the lotto 99.9% of the time.

Funny because according to my calculations it's 98.6% of the time which also translates into a long healthy life as 98.6 is normal human body temperature. Did you maybe forget to deduct the possibility that when he bought his new home that he would forget where he was the first night thus bumping the table in the hallway and cracking the hallway mirror?

60% of the time. Works every time.

I never play the lottery-never even think about it, ever...but one day a couple years ago I had a dream that I won. The next day I did not buy a ticket. I'm pretty sure I passed up on my destiny that day
