Gold from the golden state?

Scratch tickets all the way from California. Oh. My. God. These are from my great friend Tess (Thanks Tess). This is the note she sent me with the tickets. So, what does "set for life" mean anyway? 

Well I will kill the suspense and tell you that I am not set for life. This $5.00 ticket did not deliver. I am beginning to think the whole "set for life" lottery thing is a myth. Have you ever heard of anyone winning $100,000 a year for 20 years? What happens if you drop dead after the first year? Do they pay your family out for the other 19 years? Doubtful. I bet there are all kinds of weird rules designed to screw you if you actually win. Still wish I had won though. 

MOOlah! Tess I cannot think of a more appropriate scratch ticket for me (Moo, is one of my many nicknames). Happy cows come from California. Any hey, its a winner. Unfortunately it's not a cash winner, we just won another one dollar moo ticket. You may think that with the price of stamps that it is not worth sending this back to California to be exchanged for a new one but I am no quitter. Tess, be looking out for your mail because we are getting another god damn moo ticket. But let's change this up a bit. I want you to scratch it, write a short summary about your experience with the scratching, and then I will post you as a guest blogger on this page. Be careful...you might get addicted.
