is what i won last night on a scratch off lotto ticket.
it's a scratch off win for life game. kinda like bingo. e6, b5, b1 and such. you scratch off the coresponding squares from the numbers you get.
i scratched off all 10 numbers and saw that i got 3 houses. 3 houses = $40,000 for life. i read the ticket five times to make sure.
for a few minutes i was in bliss. i had this almost euphoric feeling knowing i wouldn't have to worry about money again. the best i could i tried to remain calm, i never screamed, i never yelled, just sat there for a while thinking this wasn't possible.
i handed the ticket over to michelle and she noticed within seconds that i had scratched off the a1 square instead of the b1 square that i was supposed to. i have no idea how that happened. kinda like when you design your personal portfolio and you spell your own name wrong and don't see it, i looked over this card for almost 10 minutes and never even noticed the mistake.
mother. fuck.
at least i got to feel for a few minutes what it felt like to be a millionaire. and let me tell you... it felt so fucking good.
i'm trying my best not to beat myself up over it today.
:(
i'm going to ask the marketing department if they have a scanner so i can show the ticket.

my heart was pounding out of my chest.
it's funny, the first thought in my mind of winning all that money was to give it to our parents for doing what they could to help us with our wedding.

at this point, in the movie of Kona's life, we begin to follow 2 alternative story lines - one where Kona scratched the right panel, and one where he didn't.
Down one route, money, fame, a string of expensive and glamorous women, and ultimate bitter, lonely ruin, with only dollar bills to comfort him
Down the other, a long character enriching struggle, a love affair that never dies, 40 kids and a conent and happy old Kona.*screeen fades out on K smoking a pipe, on a rocking chair

i didn't scratch off the wrong panel persay, i just didn't have the a1 number in my list of 10 numbers to scratch off. i read the back of the card and it says i could have scratched off all the squares on the game but still have one as long as i had 3 houses that were in the numbered squares.
the odds were just astronimical that under the a1 square i thought i had was the third and final house i needed, when really the house would have had to have been under the b1 square.
oh well.
i'm a dumbass. :/

So k0na did you end up scratching off the a1 square like you were supposed to, to see if you won? Does the ticket win you anything at all?
