Every payday since I can remember
I've been coming to this gas station.
Not for gas,
But for my scratchers.
You know,
Powerball, Mega Millions, State Lotto, whatever.
I pick up a nickel
And start scratching off the gray dots -
I won.
I WON ?
HOLY JESUS MARY JOSEPH I WON !!!
I effin' finally WON something -
OMG OMG OMG OMG
I just won $1000 !
Life is good.
Sometimes !
