Ok, so I am in K Mart today and I NEVER shop there but they had something specific I wanted and I am walking ALL THE WAY back to the toy section (and anyone who knows this K Mart knows how far that is) when this woman approaches me all friendly-like saying, "Did you get your ticket for the drawing for the free gold necklace?" "No" says I. So she gives me a ticket and tells me the drawing is in three minutes.
It was literally just like in the movies when everything goes into slow motion and little fairy dust sprinkles around....she places the ticket in my hand and I KNOW I am going to win.
So I continue on to the toy section listening for the loudspeaker thinking she will announce the number over that. I barely hear the loudspeaker as I am standing under a HUGE fan so I rush to another speaker. I hear her say that if we haven't dropped the other half of our ticket in we better get to it. YIKES. I didn't even know I had to do that so off I run.
I put it in and she does her little sales shpeil for other jewelry...ok, time for the drawing. Whoever wins has to yell whoopee!!! or else she will have everyone boo them, she says.
Ladies, I MEAN I KNEW I was going to win. When the lady gave me the ticket I literally almost called S to tell her I was about to win a gold necklace, I was so positive. Not hopeful just relaxed and sure.
So she PULLS out the first number and before she reads it, this lady goes..I DON'T HAVE A TICKET!!!!!So the lady puts the ticket back in the bag and gives the new lady a ticket and puts hers in. (no one was too happy about that!) So she pulls out the SECOND ticket.
352 she calls!!!! Not my number. How could it be not my number? I KNEW I was going to win.
352? 352 going once, twice, GONE! (you had to be present to win!)
So she pulls out the THIRD number....4.......7.......4!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Whoopeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I yell!! Yep! It was my number and I won it! Lol
Ahhh, good times, good times. Now, the necklace will SURELY turn anyone's neck three shades of Irish green but who cares??? I won!!

you are too funny! You didn't show me the fabulous necklace, though. I had a ring like that once--turned me a lovely shade of aqua/kelly/pea green. You are scaring me with all these premonitions...
I know, my Mom and I have always been weird about that...too bad it can't be about the lotto!
