the other day I realise that I haven't bought a scratch card for a while, and while I'm down with the saying, you have to be in it to win it, it has been a while since I have been in. so I promptly went to my local shop, checked out the talent (nothing more than £1) and picked the one I liked. Mystic Dog by the national lottery was today's choice. so I paid the cashier and set off with what I hoped to be a jackpot winning card. unfortunately not, but I did however win £2. so double what I put in. I was happy!
the next day I return to the same shop, and still feeling lucky i purchase another from the kind gentleman serving. this time it was only a small £1 win. but a win never less. a few days passed, and I had considered cashing the winnings for bus fare. I decided against this however.
then comes tonight! I see the cards sitting there. I feel cheeky at the though, but could I really cash these cards in and with the winnings buy 3 more cards? surely not?! but I headed to the shop regardless. "3 more I declare" and the kind sir gives me 3 more. I return home.
I scratch off the 1st one. no matching numbers, but there was a curious looking dog face where a number should be. 'win £10' it says, so I checked the back and sure enough I had won £10 excitedly, I scratched away at the next card. the same cheeky dog face was staring back at me. another £10 WOW. fingers crossed for a third dastardly dog face, alas. I only won £2 on this card. but I was happy never less =D
and then I came to tell my story to the ocuk world.
