Let's Go to Vegas!

Driving back this past Sunday from a family reunion in Rockdale, my family decided to take a potty break in Lott, Texas. Lott is not a very big town. In fact, some might not even call it a town but just a dot on the map. We stopped at the only gas station and Paul bought 2 loteria scratch off tickets. One for his car and one for my car. I told Paul that if we won big we were going to buy an RV then giggled and drove off. Carey immediately started scratching. She saw one bean, then two beans, then three beans, and finally four beans in a row. She started screaming!!! We had won $3000! I didn't believe her. She read the rules again. Checked the card. Screamed some more. I grabbed the card and looked at it. I could not believe it. We won $3000!!! She checked one more time and called Paw-Paw so they could pull over. We could tell that they did not believe us but we finally persuaded them to pull over. My mom started screaming and insisted that we stop in the next town to scan it. Sure enough, the little gas station in Robinson confirmed.
WE ARE A WINNER!!!!
Moral of the story: It might be some podunk town with a gross gas station but you never know if you will be a winner unless you stop.

Carey picked up the check today at the Lottery Redemption Center today. The boys were so excited and wanted to hold the check. Carey let them but made sure they were very careful. Off to the bank!
