It's true! I played the Lotto on Mon for the next Wed drawing. I had chosen my own numbers. I got back my ticket, looked at the lines of numbers and one row caught my eye, my heart started pounding and I just knew that line was the winning numbers. I had never prior, nor since for that matter, had such an intense feeling I was going to win. I was very giddy, and yes, I prayed non-stop as well. But ahhh as is often what happens in my life a wrench was tossed into my hopes; a guy I knew, a married one, called me and asked me to go meet him at a beach, I said no, that I knew I was going to win Lotto and wanted nothing to ruin my chances. Well this guy, a very smooth talking, very good looking and very charming man, he concinced me to meet him, he even said he knew I was praying non-stop, heyyy how did he know that? And he told me if I met him I would definitely win. Now he's Irish and you know what they say about the luck of the Irish, so I went to meet him, we kissed and YES I know that is wrong, but this guy could get a nun to give up her habit, I kid you not!
We kissed some and talked too sitting very cozy and as close as we could with the hard plastic compartment thing that was between my front seats ( ouch). Weird things happened, he thought he saw his father-in-law drive into the parking lot, so he slouched down in the seat, I talked to him and if asnyone drove by they might had thought i was talking to an imaginary friend, after the father in law left, I saw my neighbor drive slowly by and look in my car as he and I were hugging, uh oh! So we decided to part company, before more people we knew drove by.
That night I stayed up to watch the drawing. I sat there very excited, for my win, not from the married guy, haha. I watched intently and with glee as the first number that showed up was one of my numbers, yes! Then another, oh yes! Then another ohhhh yesss ohhh yess! Then a fourth, YES YES YES! Oh my gosh I am going to be a multi millionaire, shopping malls and Mercedes Benz dealerships get ready! And then the next number was not mine, nor the last !!! I sat there stunned, cursing in my mind at my bad luck and cursing that I went to meet that married guy. The married guy called me the next day asking if I won, oh I told him I won alright, I won a lousy fifty nine dollars instead of thirty million dollars and yep, I blamed him! And I never got together with him again, okay maybe just a couple more times, but I haven't seen him in years. So don't you think I should be forgiven by now and be able to win????? I mean how long does God punish people? And that guy always persued me, I never called him, he only got my number because I said my last name one time and he looked through the phone book finding it. And we never did anything beyone kissing and hugging ( and yessss I know that is still bad). But wow I think I should be forgiven already, it's been well over a freaking decade since I was with him, I believe by the statutes of limitations and Code #345 line 13 in the handbook of sinning, I think my punishment has been fulfilled, time for me to win big!
So has anyone come that close to winning and didn't? If so, do they think it was because they did something bad or sinful that messed up their luck? < this dancing banana smiley has nothing to do with this post, I just like dancing banana smilies!!!
