Winning The Lottery
--Posted by anonymous on Mar 7, 2009

It's funny that this happened to me on the day I recieved my smile cards.

I work in a full service laundry, I supervise people with developmental disabilities, anyway it was just another day at the laundry, on my break I went down to Tom's (store) and bought a $5.oo lottery ticket and won $15.00 I figured I'd walk away while I was $10.00 ahead, but something nudged me to buy 1 more $5.00 ticket.

when I scratched it, I almost hit the floor I had won $500.00, so I took the $10.00 I had in my pocket and bought another ticket and won $50.00 more. this was very exciting for me.

I went back to work and told everyone I was buying pizza for everyone today because I had won $550.00. Everyone was excited for me, there are 25 people at the laundry so I gave each of them a smile card since I bought them lunch, I told me they need to do something kind for someone and pass the cards on. my saying is don't let the kindness stop here.

also every custmor that came in that day I paid their bill, handed them a card and told them don'tlet the kindness stop here.
