Someone hit the lotto..... or knows his wife will read this and wants her to think that's who he meant.

Premarital assets here... I'm not worried! lol. I'll tell the story, but won't share how much I won.

Last year on June 18, I went out to eat with my parents for Father's Day. I got up to go use the bathroom and on the way back, gave the waiter $100 towards our meal because even on Father's day, I knew my dad would insist on paying. So finally the bill comes and it's a very small amount and my Dad sees the $100 credit. He wondered who it was and thought it could have been his best friend, whose son-in-law owns the restaurant. The waiter finally tells him it's me. So my Dad gets mad and says there's no way I'm paying. He takes $150 ($50 more than the $100 I put towards the bill) and tosses it across the table, refusing to take it back. He tells me to go buy some groceries with it. Mind you, I'm 32 at the time, a law school grad, and working at a law firm so I didn't really need the money, but that's just how my Dad is- successful and extremely generous always.

The next day, a Monday, I go to the gym and do my usual workout. For some reason, I was craving a Publix sub. You Floridians know this feeling. I go in and buy two cartons of egg whites, a roast beef sub, and a gallon of milk. I pay with the $50 bill I received the day before and wouldn’t have had any cash but for my attempt at a nice gesture for my parents. With the change, I buy $10 worth of quick picks. When the lady gave me them, I said to her, “What a waste of money.” I NEVER play. Maybe the 4th time in my life.

I came home and put the ticket on my kitchen table because the drawing was two days later. That night, I put the ticket next to my phone and showered before bed, knowing that by the time I was out, the numbers would be picked. So I got out and Googled the winning numbers. I looked across as almost all the numbers matched. I then Googled how much I won and thought the Forrest Gump quote of, “That’s good. One less thing.” I didn’t scream, shout, cry, or call anyone. I just looked up the process of how to claim and went to sleep. I drove to the lottery office the next day. They cut me a check within a few hours of getting to the office. Pretty cool experience.

Good for you man. What a good story.

I won my 2000 R on a $50 raffle ticket I bought at the Woodward dream cruise in 2001 from Mother’s Against drunk driving.

They bought the car off a private individual, then they - MADD -registered it, and then I won it, had 1500 miles on it. I am legally the 3rd owner.

I still have the car, now has over 44,000 miles.

 

[Twisted2v]

I won a raffle from Target. It was a tour through the Redskins stadium, locker room, broadcast booth, and running drills with players on the field.

It was a family event so there were multiple families invited.

 

[tistan]

One of the guys I used to work with hit 5 million on the the lotto.

 

[SID297]

I won a bicycle in the 4th grade. Pretty sure I'm due for a Powerball jackpot.

 

[PhoenixM3]

I recently won another mortgage - yay.

 

[Stevenbekah]

Money?
No.

My woman...?
Oh hell yes, I lucked out and won waaaaay above my level.

[gimmie11s]

Every time I log into SVTP I win big.

I instantly become a multi millionaire, I suddenly have superhuman strength benching 450 lbs with 1 hand, my dick magically grows to 9”, and strange women begin throwing panties at me.



But seriously... no. I’m the guy who gets up $200 in Vegas and immediately cashes out because I know my luck is getting ready to run out.

I once won $1000 off 25 cents in a slot machine. I lost way more than I ever won on those things so I gave them up many years ago.

People I know who won:

Parents: $110k on one of those $100/ticket lotteries.
Employee: $500k on a progressive jackpot at a casino.
Employee: $100k on a scratch ticket received as a Christmas gift.
Business partner: $1 million on a $25 pack of scratch tickets.

I won a state scholastic competition that awarded our school a four year scholarship tuition. I turned it down and suggested another student get it, and she did.

If we had a thread about bad luck, I'd be winning bigly in that category. If I so much as move or blink the wrong way, bad things happen. They're not bad enough to get me a permanent vacation though, unfortunately, unless stress does shorten your lifespan. If that's the case, that reaper bastard is very late. Not looking for sympathy or anything- at this point if I can get someone to laugh at my expense, that's a win in my book.

I did get a refund check in the mail for $4 yesterday. At least I have that.

 

[OETKB]

I won a jury trial in a big lawsuit.
Oh, and we were the plantiffs.

Hahahahaha
I have a friend who won $11 million in the FL lottery.

 

[GodStang]

I won over $20K from the VW TDi Dieselgate...

 

[Never_Enough]

Biggest thing I ever won was a free cowl hood for my old Camaro.

 

[IronSnake]

I've had my fair share of luck.

Raffles, small games, stuff like that. Won a grand in cash thru a pepboys deal once. Probably won a solid grand or more in scratch offs. I've been in the finals for multiple raffles that I didn't win. If they are free to enter I figure why not.

 

[Smooth]

Haha Smooth - I was paranoid about the damn phone fritzing out and losing paragraphs of typing so I had to save periodically.

I'm glad we got the rest of the story. I had to check my previous post of yer quote to make sure I read it right last night.
