Scratch Off Ticket Saves The Day!

This is such a silly story, but here goes!

Sunday Night I am at work producing my newscast, when Coach Sandifer from Wylie High School came by to talk to our sports guys. He made me aware that my tire was really low. I went outside and the tire was low enough to have me questioning whether I could make it to the gas station and fill it up or if I needed to change the spare. So I asked a friend what his thoughts were, so he came up to the station to help out. He said I could probably make it to the gas station and that he would follow.

We get to the gas station on South 14th, and it costs $1 for air! When did it change from 25 cents?!

Anyways, I had left my purse at the station so I was looking all over my car for change and I was able to find 3 quarters, he didn't have change so it was one of those, I need air, do I need to go beg for a quarter from some stranger?

But I kept looking in my car, and I found in a compartment of my car a scratch off ticket that my dad bought when he was in town last Christmas.

And it said I won a dollar!! CHA-CHING!! I got so excited I ran in to the gas station and asked for my prize in quarters so I can fill up my tire.

These Are My Confessions

It was as if I won the lottery!! Ok, I did.. well a dollar, but it was very exciting!!! I laughed so hard when I was turning in my scratch ticket--for change so I can get air.

Sometimes you need a good laugh, and although this story sounds silly.. it was a much needed good laugh that turned a bad night into a silly night all over a flat tire and a scratch ticket saving the day.

Ok, Ok, My friend saved the day too for making sure I didn't get stuck on the road or get stuck riding on my rim. So thank you :)

AND by the way, my scratch off ticket, it was the Lucky Duck one... which makes this funnier to me.. hehe
