A 1983 cent retired. (post a lucky cent you have)

I got in change today a common ordinary 1983 lincoln Cent. its zinc weighs in at 2.49g. Nothing special about it till mid afternoon when i scratched a lotto ticket with it and won $200. Out of resepct for this lucky cent which also happened to be my birth year . I felt fitting that his little guy got his own 2x2 and retired. In all he won me 210.00 this afternoon and this evening I spent 10.00 of the 210 on scratch offs and he once again won me another 11.00 so in all today 211.00 So he only won me 1.00 more but its in the green. He earned his spot of my wall of fame.

    Nice win.... do not believe in lucky coins (or lucky anything). I do enjoy playing Texas Hold 'em though, for real. Cheers, RickO

    My head hurts trying to cipher that lotto ticket. Congrats on the win though somewhere in there.

    It's excessively worded, I agree. But millions of people who are obviously bad at math and play that game have been able to figure it out.

    Trip fives i think.
  • trip 5s beats the dealers 8s over 7s.

    its not alot but its going to go either to my summer weekend trip with the gf away or to a new front windshield for the free car that should be here this weekend. Either way it will be used wisely. ( I hope)
