However in the middle of lunch there was a very loud announcement notifying us that we were attending the 10th birthday party of the bowling alley/restaurant! Who knew?
As we visited, an employee came around to distribute tickets for the prize drawing. We dutifully filled them out, thinking we might win a few lines of bowling.
We ended up spending nearly three hours there, visiting and eating complimentary birthday cake! During that time, one of our group won a prize drawing, a $50 gift card for Macy's. Cool. Real prizes, even!
Shortly before we left an employee came around again with a few more tickets so I filled out three of them.
Tom and I made some stops on the way home, and when we finally got home, I found a message on my home phone. I had won a prize and needed to call in to claim it.
I did. They sent the prize to me in the mail, and it arrived on Friday, a $50 gift card for Best Buy! Since I never win anything, it felt great to be a winner for once!
I'm sure we'll have no trouble spending it.
Oh congrats!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun to win! :)
ReplyDeleteWell, congratulations! You can never say again that you don't win anything. :-)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations. You were out for a fun time anyway so a prize was icing on the cake.
ReplyDeleteThat is pretty neat! Have fun choosing what to get.
ReplyDeleteHow cool to win!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful, a great surprise!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Great time of year to win a gift card.
ReplyDeleteI would have been equally as shocked as you to win something. There are some neat things for $50 at Best Buy, although most things are much more expensive.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great surprise and something you can actually use, good on Acme Bowl. Happy Thanksgiving to you.
ReplyDeleteHooray! You're a winner!
ReplyDeleteThat is a great prize! Congrats.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! That is awesome. I would have no trouble spending it either.
