I had a My name is Earl moment yesterday. I was just getting off a pretty bad shift walking to my car when I saw something by my tire. When I got closer and investigated with just my eyes I saw that it was a lottery ticket folded up. When I tell you my heart jumped out of my chest.
Was this it? Was i finally getting the luck I deserved? Were the endless and miserable 9-5 days finally over? Would I never have to choose between electricity and food again? I snatched it up and got into my car so fast with trembling hands. I unfolded it and saw that it was already scratched off. My heart slowed down a bit. Most likely someone wouldn't have carelessly left a winning ticket around but I read the winning numbers and searched it on the ticket. It was so close. The numbers to win were all off by 1. So fucking close. My life almost changed. By this much \ .
