" THEY CHEATED ME AGAIN!! "

MIKE WAS SPEAKING OF THE LOTTO WHEN HE SAID THE WORDS ABOVE.  HE SAID "THIS IS THE THIRD TIME TOO"!!.  IT SEEMS THAT EVERY TIME THE NEWS PAPER DOES NOT LIST THE FANTASY 5 NUMBERS (WHICH IS WHAT MIKE ALWAYS PLAYS) HE THINKS IT'S BECAUSE HE WON, AND THEY DON'T WANT TO PAY UP.  I TRIED TELLING HIM THE NEWS PAPER PROBABLY JUST DID NOT GET THE NUMBERS IN TIME TO PUT THEM IN THE PAPER, BUT THAT WAS QUICKLY REJECTED.  HE SAID "ALL THE OTHER NUMBERS ARE LISTED-WHY NOT MINE"??  I HAVE ACTUALLY HAD TO TAKE HIM TO THE LOTTO HEADQUARTERS ONCE, AND HE WALKED AWAY WITH MANY PARTING GIFTS FROM THEM, LIKE TWO BEACH TOWELS, TWO TEE-SHIRTS, AND MUCH MORE!!  I JUST THINK THEY WERE SO HAPPY TO GET RID OF HIM THEY WOULD HAVE GIVEN HIM STOCK IF HE WOULD HAVE STAYED THERE MUCH LONGER!!!  HE ALSO HAD A PROBLEM WITH PUBLIX TWICE BECAUSE OF THE LOTTERY.  IT WAS HYSTERICAL-YOU HAD TO BE THERE!!  HE GOT THEM TO CALL THE LOTTERY HEADQUARTERS TO FIND OUT WHY THE NEWSPAPER SAID HE WON $11. DOLLARS, AND PUBLIX SAID HE DID NOT HAVE A WINNER.  ANOTHER FUNNY THING MIKE WILL DO, IS LOOK AT THE NUMBERS THAT CAME OUT THE DAY BEFORE, AND THEN PLAY THEM AGAIN!!  THEN WHEN HE LOOKS AT THE PAPER THE NEXT DAY HE THINKS HE HIT THE LOTTO, BECAUSE ALL HIS NUMBERS ARE LISTED THERE (FROM THE PREVIOUS DAY)!!  HE IS CONVINCED THAT HE HAS WON THE LOTTO SEVERAL TIMES, BUT WHEN HE WINS, THEY FIND A WAY NOT TO PAY HIM.  IT SOUNDS FUNNY I KNOW, BUT YOU SHOULD SEE HOW FRUSTRATED HE GETS OVER IT.  ANY HOW I ALWAYS TELL HIM WE DON'T NEED TO WIN THE LOTTO, THAT WE HAVE ALL OUR NEEDS MET, AND THAT IS ALL THAT MATTERS.  HE IS ALSO A HOOT WHEN IT COMES TO USING THE PHONE.  HE TOLD ME THIS MORNING THAT HE TRIED TO CALL THE LOTTO TWICE BUT NO ONE WOULD ANSWER THE PHONE.  ALL THE WHILE, WE HAD NO DIAL TONE AS THERE WAS A POWER OUTAGE FROM BRIGHT HOUSE, AND IT WAS JUST FIXED.  OH WELL, ANOTHER DAY IN PARADISE-NOT!!!  HOPE YOUR DAY IS PEACEFUL AND JOYFUL-JUST ME
