I guess it's the person. We don't have to worry about that now, maybe until we hit it!
*For example this happened to me a while back. I can't remember what scratch ticket I bought at the local
convenience store, it had to do with the "Roses", match two alike symbols and win a dollar amount according
to the LEGEND. Well, I gave it to the clerk and the clerk ran it through the terminal and said he couldn't give me the cash
because the computer told him I needed to redeem my ticket at the main Lottery office. Then, he took another look at my ticket,
and yelled out "Hey, no wonder! YOU JUST WON $20,000 !!" I grabbed the ticket away from him and looked at it closely, and noticed
that it revealed two matching diamonds, which were the top prize for that game! To make long stories short, there was this other guy in the store
that I usually ran into now and then, and like all lotto players , we would exchange strategies and talk about what lucky numbers
would be coming out for that nght. Not this guy, I would say HI, and he wouldn't have it! He would just turn away or look at me ugly, and right then
and there I knew not to bother him! Well, when my lucky day came around (for a brief moment I thought) this guy was standing right beside me
when the store clerk shouted my winnings, he got all excited and congratulated me and even hugged me! ?????????
I couldn't beleive it! He even asked me to show him the ticket, so I did......... when he checked it out he quickly pointed out that there's noway
it was a $20,000 ticket, because he played that game often and the symbols were winners , but that of a lesser amount, which turned out to be $2.00.
***I felt sort of embarrased but it wasn't my fault because the store clerk had started the whole thing without giving me a chance to really see for myself. Turned out I had scratched a "Diamond" by mistake.
****Anyway this guy after knowing that my ticket only payed $2.00, went back to his usual self, and gave me the cold shoulder! It was like turning on and off a light switch!
*****Goes to show you, money changes people. If you don't have money, they don't have time for you , but the minute
they find out you won something , they'll be knocking on your door!\\
****Anyway, good luck everyone!
