How It Feels to be a Winner

Sadly, this is a feeling I have never had a chance to experience when it comes to contests and draws. My co-worker, on the other hand, has had his share of winning luck in the past four weeks. About four weeks ago, he won a X-Box 360 package through a Doritos/Pepsi online contest. Today, he gave me the news that he had just won a car through the Princess Margaret Hospital lottery. Not just any car. It was a Mercedes SLK worth around $70K. He and his wife have decided to take the money instead because they have a young kid and she wouldn't be able to sit in the two-seater. Well, that and the fact that the insurance would be a killer.

It's true what they say. You can't win if you don't play. I'll be sure to get in on any group lottery ticket purchases he's a part of. After all, good (and bad) things tend to come in threes.
