2010-03-10 (Un)Lucky

Do you know some people who seem to win everything? Their names are pulled for every doorprize, they're the 100th caller of the local radio station, they're hitting the jackpot in Atlantic City? I'm not that person.

I can scratch the tickets, pull the lever and throw my name into the drawing, but it never seems to be me who wins. I'm like the guy in that movie, "The Cooler." In the film, William H Macy is such bad luck that the casino pays him to sit next to high rollers. Two minutes next to Bill and your winning streak is over.

These tickets were much the same. But I can't help loving a little gamble. So I will scratch again.
