Lottery Antics

My truck is in the shop getting a new timing chain.

This has left me to my own transportation devices, namely hoofing it.

So I walked up to the nearest lottery vendor and played the ticket I brought. Unfortunately, the ticket I played was for tommorrow's lottery; not tonights.

All that remained was to walk home, fetch the correct ticket, retrieve more cash and walk back.

The guy behind the counter was amused with the fact that though I had to make two trips, I was no longer playing the "wrong" ticket — but now I had just played a ticket a day early.

Anyway, suffice it to say I need to pay more attention to taking care of business before I go traipsing up the street to play one of those six weekly plays.
