But we got 30 more entries into the win a cruise session in the afternoon.
So about 4:30 we went back to try again. This time the house was packed. How were we going to win against hundreds of people, when we couldn't win against 15?
Dale came within 1 number of the blackout and $1000. Rats.
Now it was time for the cruise raffle. A cruise in the Caribbean ! I really wanted to win this!
They chose a boy from the audience...he was from..where?
I was thinking...what a coincidence. He pulled out the ticket and gave it to the assistant cruise director.
They told everyone to stand, then sit down when they didn't have the numbers called. 497...half sat down ... 6...more sat down...6....more sat down...6....everyone sat down but me...there was one more number and I was looking for a six!
She said I think I know the winner and looked at me..
She called 0! You win!
Oh no, I didn't win, I said - I need a 6..!
You really shouldn't argue with someone who is trying to give you a free cruise, but I had a ticket in my hand that said 4176666.
She said Look at the rest of your tickets!
I had forgotten that I had a series....well then...there it was!!! 4176660.
I guess after the Sistene Chapel incident the devil has my number.
