Daughter's Birthday

[Slinger 48]

Our daughter's 40th birthday is today.

One of her gifts from a friend was a scratch ticket that paid out $20,000.00. That's a nice gift.

Any other winner's stories on here?

That's amazing. I rolled up the rim and won a BBQ. That's about it.

I won a small granite mantel clock one time in a local raffle.

It didn't work.

I won a bicycle eons ago when I was in elementary school.

Best I've done is 4k in a night on a cruise ship casino....

I won a free weekend in Vegas at....the Trump Hotel.

I found a $100 bill on the floor of Freshco last week. When I turned it in, they said I was nuts not to keep it.

I only get "lucky" when being asked to serve for 'jury duty'. Multiple times for criminal & civil cases. Fortunately all but one was settled before I even had to set foot in a courtroom.

Ya I know one person who took 13 milly in 649 and another who won 35 in lottomax

The guy who won the 13 was already filthy rich btw.

I made up some medical BS excuse once and never got another letter

I was called for a multiple murder trial but the guy killed himself in jail before the potential jurors were interviewed.

That was in '84 or '85. I was happy that I didn't have to go at the time but I think I would like to experience it now.

Might be too old now, I think there's an age limit.

I won 2 million in 6/49… re-invested all of it in LottoMax and ended up with $27,440

Don't we all assume zeke came into money some lucky way?

I don't think there's an age limit as even my grandmother got a jury duty summons once (when she was 90+)...at least out here in BC! She was able to get out of serving (she's in a nursing home & can't really get around well) as those 65+ can automatically asked to be excluded. It might be different for other provinces.

I won a Toronto Star phone contest and got to meet JYD and Chuck Swirskey.

That's about it.

I just looked it up.

Age 70 and up may be exempt from jury duty here.
