Title: Somebody is RICH!
Post by: POSTON WIDEHEAD on May 20, 2017, 11:48:38 PM
I got home from Georgia and looked at my mail that came yesterday.

I got a letter from Florida. Florida???

I figure one of my in laws sent me something so I told the wife to open it for me.
She said there is a card in here with a Goat on it.  :o :o :o

We all got to laughing as I explained to her.
Well the card is a Scratch Off ticket......and its a winner!!!!!!

I have literally won a Goat Load of Cash!.........$2.00.

I don't know who sent it but thank you for making my life much easier now.
In fact, I'm gonna split it with you.
So if the person that sent this winning ticket to me, you get half of my Goat Load of Cash.  :D :D :D :D

Julie was rolling....Paul said don't worry Daddy.....Goat stands for Greatest Of All Times.  :)

NICE!  But hate to break the bad news to you.  The matching 11's mean you won that prize - $1.00  Not $2.  So you have enough to buy another scratcher!

Oh, sorry.  I'm used to our scratchers - you have to have 3 of a kind to win.  You ARE rich!

  Don't forget to send 5% to the Forum for enabling you to receive this windfall. You should also probably send about 28% to federal and 4% to state and maybe 3% to local to avoid tax problems. After an appropriate amount to charity just party with the rest. 8)
