B-I-N-G-O!

i went to play bingo with my mom last night and won some big money!! i almost didn't go but i'm so happy i did now :)
we were playing a game that's called lucky 7 and if you win the bingo within 28 calls you get the pot and anything after 28 numbers you get $52.50...i had a card that had gotten down to 3 numbers left to be called and made the mistake of calling it out to my mom! needless to say that card died off...then another card stepped up and got me down to 4..then 3...then 2..then 1. they still had 5 numbers to call before it reached the 28th number so i started doing the statistics in my head to see what kind of a chance that i had to win the big pot!
in the mean time i could see my mom looking over at my card obviously noticing i only had one space left so i kept praying in my head that mom wouldn't call it out so i wouldn't ruin my luck again! anyway i'm sitting there wiggling, humming, and shaking m,y leg trying not to look to ancy when my mom turned around to look at the number that was about to be called..then shot back around to look at my card. soon enough the guy announced O-7-4!!! i don't think it could have came out in more slow motion if he had tried. so of course i tried to get the word bingo outta my mouth and i think it took about 3 tries before it actually sounded like the word bingo! my mom started squealing and the older ladies who play every week started cursing me.. the man came up to get my winning card from me and my mom turned to me and said "i hope it's right!"
well it was right and i ended up winning $525!! Woot Woot watch out vacation here i come!

I'm so happy for you. And jealous. But mostly happy, and jealous. Okay, like 95% happy, and 5 % jealous. Or more like 80/20. LOL At any rate-Congratulations!!
