That's true. Maybe I should send him $20 to buy tickets and offer to split the winnings.

I do play alot usually one $5.00 ticket a day, sometimes more if there is extra money left after paying the bills.

Yes sir, or maybe just because I spend more than your average person does, but not as much as some folks I've seen. I watched one guy buy a $20 ticket, lose, buy another $20 scratch tacket, lose again, and he just kept going.

Iowa City won healthiest city in the US according to Men's Journal. So I've apparently won good health.

Just checked my email. To my surprise, for the second time, I had a confirmation letter stating that I had now won one of those pairs of $100 "artist designed" shoes that were part of Mountain Dew's Green Label Art promotion. I think this one was even more of a surprise than the baseball cap, as the promotion has been over for several months now I had no idea to even know/check for another possible win. I simply was not anticipating being in a drawing, much less the usual "not expecting" to win it that comes with drawing contests.

The shoe is in the picture.

Won't know until I receive them some 6-8 weeks from now. It asked for my shoe size when confirming my address, so technically they should.

This morning I won 2 movie tickets for identifying a clip from "The Bridge on the River Kwai" on the radio.
Thanks, Obi-Wan Kenobi!

I did the same thing for the movie "Sleepers" a few months ago.

Last week I won $3 from a $5 Powerball lottery ticket. It was so nice... Usually I scan my ticket and it just says I'm a loser. It was great to, for once, be a winner! lol

I'm hoping to win the Powerball tonight, 260 million jackpot. If I do, I'm buying everyone a round of drinks at Celebration!

I'm surprised. I know a lot of promotional items where I work(Nike) will only come in size 9 mens or 7 womens.
