On January 27 2024,a Saturday ....

I left my house at 5pm,drove 4 miles and noticed my cell phone was not with me.I left it at home again.I was pissed off! If it was up to me,I'd throw it out the window hoping someone runs it over.More junk I have to take with me everywhere I go...

I pulled a U-TURN,and back tracked to my home.A waste of time and gasoline.I liked the old days,leave your home,set your answering machine,and off you went.Of course if your car broke down,you would knock on the nearest house and ask permission to use their telephone.

Got back on the road and I knew the letter U,for U-TURN,the 21st letter of the alphabet would come in.It would be the Powerball Lucky Ball,since the game every night,the Lucky4life's lucky ball stops at number 18.

So,I decided to buy the Powerball tickets with the extra buck,for the power play option,when I would later buy gasoline at $2.89 a gallon.

Later,I bought gasoline,and totally forgot to buy some Powerball tickets.

Then I arrived at my destination,Royal Buffet,Asian food.I sat in my favorite waitress's section.My favorite waitress was named Karen,Oh no,not Karen! She was only working there for 3 weeks.I asked her what she had planned for Valentine's  Day,Feb 14.She replied;"Oh,I won't be here,I'm moving to New York,tomorrow is my last day here,I'm getting married next week on a Tuesday" ."WHAT!! You're getting married ?"...

Right then I knew,the letter M,for married,number 13,would be the Lucky4life's Lucky ball...

I left the buffet at 8pm.(Next door,a lottery selling grocery store) did I buy any tickets?  NO,I was too bummed out.No more Karen.I arrived at home at 9pm,30 minutes to buy tickets,did I drive 2 minutes down the street to buy tickets? NO , I was bummed out.

And here are the Powerball and Lucky4life's drawn numbers for Saturday  January 27 2024

Powerball  7  38  65  66 68   PB(21)             Lucky4life    9  34  36  39  45  LB(13)

  There you have it,another screw up on my part.I picked both Lucky Balls in one day!
