When I was 19 I was wasting time at a Steak n Shake waiting for a chick to get off work and I doodled on a $5 bill that had already been defaced.
I spent the $5 there and then at a gas station, 2 weeks later, 2 towns and another county away, and I got that same bill back.
The odds are ridiculous.
Naturally I went and bought 2 scratch offs, feeling really good about my luck. I spent that $5 for a $2 and a $3 dollar ticket.
On the first one I quickly scratched it and got zip...
...but on the second one, I took my time, said a little prayer, slowly scratched it off and then looked closely and it was a loser too.
