Do You Want to Get Lucky?


--by lewski711, posted May 17, 2021
I gave out five lottery scratchers with a lucky penny to people working at my school today: playground supervisors, tech specialist, reading assistant and a custodian. First I asked what they would do if suddenly they won $1,000. Then I asked if they were feeling lucky. Then I gave them the scratch-off lottery ticket.

I heard "I'd invest it," "I'd put it in the bank," "I'd go to Hawaii right now!" Some scratched right away. Others saved theirs for later. I didn't see any winners yet, but I saw smiles and heard thanks.

I hope someone gets lucky.
