Those attending the Lyman Hall – Jonathon Law boys basketball game Tuesday night may have noticed that I won the 50-50 raffle at halftime. Some of you probably also noticed that after collecting my $90 from Lynne Landry (Matt’s mom) I headed straight for the exit. Let me explain.
I was leaning toward leaving at halftime anyway because I had work to finish back at the R-J. Knowing that my two sons were in the stands watching Lynne hand dad cash and that my wife was working the concession stand and about to hear about my luck cemented my decision to run.
About two weeks ago I won the same 50-50 raffle and asked my wife to collect my winnings from Lynne. She kept the $90, bought dinner for my sons after the game, did something with the rest of it, and gave me about $15.
With the tables turned, I arrived at home Tuesday night with all the money safely in my pocket. In the two hours between leaving the game and arriving home, my wife had called to ask for her cut and both sons had hinted they wanted their share. As I walked into the living room I was leaning toward keeping all the money for myself because of what had happened the last time I supposedly won the raffle.
Do you think I kept the money or shared?

Buy dinner for the family and give your wife $15.00 and do something with the rest of it; seems like a precedence has already been set so there should be no complaints.
Is this raffle rigged or are you just extremely lucky to have won twice?
The reason you won again is due to good karma. You were very kind to share the last winnings with those around you previously, why not do it again? Of course you may not win again, but your blessings will come in some other way.
Count your blessings, not what is in your pocket.
I am guessing you shared the money. You were nice to your son regarding the previous garbage issue so I am thinking you are a "softee" at heart.
You could have bought some pizza for the newsroom. Poor, hungry, starving reporters... Such a cruel boss...
