I and a friend decided to get rid of our .05 cent returnables.We had mostly plastic bottles.
     Off we went to Walmart.We observed a man and woman using the redemption machines.They had 4 shopping carts of returnables!
     We drove to another grocery store.We carried in our returnables,and we see the store worker cleaning out all the redemption machines!
     I said "This never happened before,what is so hard about returning plastic bottles?,two times we are turned away,....back to Walmart"
    We went back to Walmart.No one near the redemption machines.I had $1.50 worth,my friend had $3.00 worth.
    I went back to my truck and grabbed a receipt for one returnable I found in my pocket from 3 weeks ago.
    That was it as far as the nickel deposits went.
     Later another friend suggested we go out to a buffet restaurant.We ate,we split the bill--$15 dollars each.
     I totally forgot tonight's drawing is the Lucky for Life Drawing.
I drove to a gas station,I was thinking of what number to pick for the Lucky Ball......nothing....
    Just give me a few Quick Picks...
I got home and thought about all the cans and bottles the man and woman had.
And about myself cashing in $1.50 worth.
Also the bill at the buffer...$15.00 each.
AND i going to my truck to grab a single .05 cent receipt ....
    Too many FIVES!.......
Then it hit me.....Seeing 4 shopping carts of?...................NICKELS!
FIVES! Too many!
     If that was not a clear sign,how blind can I be?
$1.50?...  05 receipt ?...$15.00 bill?
    I'm losing it,time to go see a shrink!
  Did I win?   No....
Would have I won if I thought about today's activities?    YES!
   Numbers Drawn   #1,#2,#3,#31,#40...Lucky Ball   #5

I would have played #5  for the Lucky Ball
   Also I would have played #1,#2,#3 because I said it earlier,"This never happened before,what is so hard about returning plastic bottles?,two times we are turned away,....back to Walmart"
   Back to Walmart was the 3rd trip....
3 numbers with the Lucky Ball = $150.00!
   WHACK ME UPSIDE THE HEAD!   What more of a sign do I Need?
