Freeish splurge at lunch

[413dan]

so, today I'm sitting eating a sandwich at lunch in the parking lot of a sandwich shop locally. I decided I was thirsty and headed into the liquor store across the parking lot to grab a water. While in there I grabbed a $5 scratch ticket, something I usually don't do. I went back outside, scratched it and hit for $100. Happily, I went on eating. I exited my truck to throw out my trash ad cash my ticket. I cam back out, and who was in the parking lot getting lunch from the same shop, the Snappy guy. I don't own any snappy tools except for a few yard sale finds and my box that was too cheap to pass up. I walked over, told him sorry for bothering during lunch and walked off with a new F80 ⅜the ratchet! first snappy ratchet, just for homeowner use on odds and ends projects but I'm happy. practically free to me, cost 94 off the truck, leaving me with my original 5 +1 and a F80!

What a lucky break. Congrats and enjoy.

 

[BikerDad]

Congrats, although I suspect your math is off a little. You got a sandwich and an F80.

I swear those Snap-On drivers can smell money...

Good use for the extra cash you got though, you'll always remember that day for as long as you have that F80.

I grabbed a $5 scratch ticket... walked off with a new F80 ⅜the ratchet! practically free to me

Add up what you've spent on scratch tickets over the years and tell me if you still think it was free!

I had a wonderful pastrami on rye for lunch today. But I'm sure it wasn't as delicious as yours!

I'm 22, barely ever buy scratch tickets, 2 months ago I bought the new 30$ ticket when it came out, hit for 500. paid my car insurance for the rest of the year lol! so yea, for me at least and the amount I've personally spent on scratch tickets, yes it was free.

although as many of you mentioned i did pay for lunch which was about 9 bucks so all in all for 3 and some change I had lunch, a turkey sandwich and water and a f80!
