This is an actual story, mostly so I can have it on record.
Anna wasn't feeling well this evening. So I went to Super Stop & Shop (Newton, MA) for minestrone soup, orange juice, and mac & cheese for me. I had spoken to a few co-workers today about the lottery. Power Ball is up over $300 million (tonight) and Mass Millions is up over $100 million (plays on Friday). So since I wasn't going to NH or RI after work, in order to get the numbers for tonight's PowerBall game, I decided that after I paid for my groceries I would buy a ticket for Friday's Mass Millions. I placed the ticket in my back left pocket, walked out of the store, placed the bags in the car (on the floor on the passenger side), and drove home.
I get home, Anna made her minestrone soup and I started making my mac & cheese. Before it was done I left with Lucy for a walk around the block. I ran down the stairs with her, and ran down the driveway, just because. Then we started to walked around the block, I bent over once to pick up her "stuff". Then we walked back home.
Anna and I then sat down and watched "Fever Pitch" (by the way, good movie). After the movie we cleaned up and I mentioned what the totals for the lottery were for the week. I then mentioned that I bought a ticket for Mass Millions being played on this Friday (21 October 2005). Well, when I went to go show her my ticket... it was gone!
I hope no one picks it up and claims it on Friday... let's just say I won't be very happy that I am not $30+ million dollars richer.

Hi there cteix and fellow bloggers. So I see I find myself back here again. I figure it's high time I post something eh? It's strange that I always wind up back at this blog, I dunno if it is fate or if it is the great stories like Missing Lottery Ticket …lol. I suppose I should tell you to keep it up since I obviously love reading here so much. LoL, but really, do keep this up, otherwise I might have to find something else to do with my time (and we can’t have that now can we?) Anyway, I am off, to surf some more blogs with my spankin new 14.95 SBC Yahoo!. Laters cteix
