Friday night finding a £2 “snow me the money” lottery scratch card in with your xmas card from your folks and thinking “Ha…nae chance of winning owt”, then scratching it off….. 1st game matched pair – £5… hmmm not bad?, 2nd game matched pair – £5…ya dancer!, 3rd game matched pair – £5….woohoo!, 4th game matched pair – £5…is this for real?, 5th game matched par – £5….checks for hidden cameras in house, 6th game matched pair – £10…hearts starting to beat a bit faster in anticipation of last game, 7th game matched pair….breathe deep and scratch it off ever so slowly —————-£5….feel pang of disappointment before i mentally slap myself for being ungrateful and do wee jig round the room and bounce across town to show it off to my parents proud as punch, £40 on a scratchcard…just like that, and every game a winner!….i’ve never bought a lottery ticket in my life nor bought a scratchcard but i always get one in my xmas card and there’s always one next to our xmas crackers on the dinner table so i’ll be hoping for more good luck (random chance) in 9 days time.
