Today at Publix, I was coming up an aisle and nearly rammed into a fireman who was turning into the aisle. I apologized and continued on into the next aisle. I saw him again as I was checking out – he’d just gone through the line – and I went up to the front register to see what scratch-offs they had. I didn’t see what I wanted, so I went over to the machine.
The fireman was there, contemplating the choices of scratch-offs and lottery tickets. He bought three $5 Gold Rush cards. “Are your chances of winning better with the $5 card?” I asked.
“The odds are better.” He turned the card over and indicated the odds:1:3.97. “I just bought three cards, so if you buy one, you’ll probably win.” I usually stick to the $2 cards, but this felt like an evolving synchronicity, so I bought the $5 Gold Rush and my usual $2 Loteria scratch-off.
As soon as I got home, I scratched off the winning numbers – 15, 17, 21, 24 – and went to work. Every single number won! The synchronicity paid off.
After I loaded my groceries into the car, I was pushing my cart to the place where you leave them and the fire truck was just leaving the lot, headed toward me. I was tempted to wave my arms so it would stop and I could thank him.
How great! Will have to remember that firemen are lucky!
They have to be!
What a great story. Congratulations. Keep buying those $5 tickets.
All those winning numbers add up to 77 I noticed, so they had to be lucky 🙂
My whole 2021/22 New Year’s was based on the colour Gold/Yellow BTW, as I feel this year will be personally financially lucky for me somehow –

And it looks like you got the GOLD RUSH too at the start of ’22 🙂
I didn’t even think to add them up! Love it. Thanks, Daz. It IS a good start to 2022.
WOW! Wonderful!
Cute synchro! I won $115 on scratch offs the other day!
Good one! Which scratch-offs?
Oooh, I don’t remember. They were in NC/SC.
Different scratch-offs from Florida’s. Nice bonus for your trip!
I thought so! But guessing it was OUR lucky week! (I don’t know about you but I hardly ever win on things like that!)
I win pretty often on the $2 loteria scratch-offs, don’t usually buy $5 tickets. But it felt like an evolving synchro, so I did.
