What goes around comes around

I have been a volunteer 50/50 sales girl for a lot of teams .. let's see, 3 years for the Vanderhoof Midget Bears (cause Ry was the coach), 1 year for the Omineca Ice (Ry plays on the team), and recently for the PeeWee "A" Provincials here in the hoof. I LOVE selling 50/50 and love helping out around the arena (I'm a TRUE "rink rat"), some might find this strange but I look at it as a way to meet new people and also eavesdrop on the opposing team's fans (kidding) This weekend I signed up for 2 nights, Tuesday and Wednesday, the 8pm -11pm shift. I ALWAYS try to be the best salesperson and try to get the jackpot to an all time high .. (I always hear people say "Oh, Holly is selling tonight the pot will be big!") I do tend to pressure people to buy but that's okay!Tuesday night the pot was $306.50 ... I always count the money in front of someone and have someone double count the money .. I always pick someone out of the crowd (that EVERYONE can see) to pick the winning ticket , and I always buy a ticket from someone else! This weekend was the same, I sold, I counted the money, I recounted the money and I chose a team member from the visiting Prince Rupert team to draw the winning ticket, he drew number 1682467 ... I then take it to the announcer .. then to the raffle table and wait for someone to come claim their prize .. I sat there for awhile and I heard someone say "Oh what was the number, I didn't even check my ticket ?" .. I thought to myself, hey, neither did I ?!? ... can you guess where this is going ... YEP, I WON THE 50/50 ... all $306.50 worth .. I was so excited .. yes I probably have spent over $500 in all my years of buying the 50/50 but who cares .. this weekend I WON ..

You are all probably wondering what I spent the money on ... well ONE trip to Costco and it was gone.... lots of food, a bag of dog food, cleaning supplies and one pair of capris for me.... GONE!

Oh and a BIG congrats to the hockey players of Vanderhoof, the Midget Bears, Bantam Bears and PeeWee Bears all brought home the provincial banners! GO VANDERHOOF!!!
