Winner Winner Chicken Dinner

Lottery tickets. The present everyone loves. Slipped into a birthday card, perfect for a Yankee Swap, a fabulous stocking stuffer, the gift no one need return because it's the wrong size. 

I'm not much of a gambler. I can probably count on one hand the number of times I have been to a casino. Once every couple of years I might pop into a convenience store and buy a scratch ticket. Truth be told, I'd rather spend the money on a candy bar.

Still, it's fun to imagine how life might change should your ticket win the jackpot. 

Given my luck, other avenues might still be a better bet.....

"Reading, conversation, environment, culture, heroes, mentors, nature - all are lottery tickets for creativity. Scratch away at them and you'll find out how big a prize you've won." – Twyla Tharp
