lucky

you know the chances of winning in any raffle is like one in a million but we do join in anyway for a variety of reasons. one, is because the raffle tickets sort of come free from some purchase we made. two, you lose nothing except your hand getting numb from filling up the multitude of raffle tickets. and three, a 1 in a million chance still means there's a chance luck will be on your side and you will be that 1 in a million.

a couple or so months ago, we went to SM MOA to purchase a special 50th anniversary SM non-stick pan made by sunnex. we bought it because i've been really hooked into cooking (in general) my own meals (as part of my efforts to diet, ok scratch that, eat healthier) and it was a steal at 500 bucks. the kind sales guy informed us there was a raffle and mom and i dutifully filled up the raffle tickets. hmm, i just remembered that apart from that sunnex pan, the sales guy managed to convince us to buy another pan with a glass cover which we really liked.

as luck would have it, mom got a call today telling her she has won two (2) tickets to Hong Kong from that raffle. i think that was the grand prize. Hopefully, that trip comes with accommodation and some pocket money. That would be sweet! Let's see how that fits into our plan to go to HK Disney this year. Now maybe we should try our luck on the lottery. maybe lady luck will come and visit us again.
