Smile in the Lottery Ticket Line

--by KCSmiles, posted Jan 20, 2011

Yesterday, I stopped at the grocery store to buy a lottery ticket. I had a problem with the machine, so the clerk came out to help me. At the same time a lady stepped in line behind me.

I had two dollars left in the machine, so in that moment I decided to do something nice. I printed out my ticket, then got an instant ticket. I turned around, held the instant ticket in my had and said to the woman behind me, "This is for you."

The woman looked shocked and said, "What?" I didn't give up. I said, " This is for you." She finally took the ticket and (because the ticket was a holiday ticket), I wished her "Happy holidays!" I turned around and quickly walked away, beaming with joy.

I felt so happy for doing something for someone else. I just wish I had a Smile Card with me.

I got what I needed and was walking thru an empty section of the parking lot and there on the ground I saw what looked like one dollar. I picked it up and walked to my car. Once in my car I saw that I had picked up a wad of cash of eight dollars! I was thrilled.
