It's been a good week! Yesterday at work someone informed me that I had won a prize drawing for some committee. I am not on any committees at work, and couldn't remember signing up for anything. Come to find out, they drew everybody's name at work, and I was number 7 out of 10 to get my name drawn for a prize. Some of the prizes included tickets to Chanhassan Dinner Theater, Twins tickets, Lynx tickets, Jesus Christ Superstar, and movie tickets. My name was so far down the list I pretty much knew most of the stuff would be gone by the time I got there, which it was, but I didn't care, any of these options was fine with me. I ended up opting for the movie tickets, which were for Regal Cinema, only two in the metro area, but not a bad deal. Two tickets and $10 in concession stand money.
Later that night was Bucks night at Chammps, which is their version of Bingo. I was debating on not going, but was feeling really lucky after winning those tickets, so I headed over and reserved a table for me and my friends. A little information on Bucks: the last game of the night is the jackpot, and it grows $50 every week that nobody wins it. This week it was up to $1,550. You have to win in eleven numbers. After he called the tenth number I had one more to go...and he didn't call it. Until three numbers later. And another person won as well. We both went up there, because he can only have one winner, so he had us both draw bingo balls to see who got the higher number. I grabbed the first one I touched, and clenched my fist around it. I didn't want to look at it until I saw what color hers was. (We have the same set at work, so I know the order from low to high is blue, red, white, green, yellow.) Hers was white, which meant an N number. I opened up my fist....and my ball was yellow! I had won the final prize, which was a $25 gift card. Not bad, especially considering I didn't have to pay to play. The manager also came up to me and gave me a free app/drink coupon for being one away earlier. My luck may be running out soon, but it feels good to win something.
