Adam Just Won $750,000!

OMG! This has never happened before! I don't even know what to think or how to feel right now- I'm still in shock! As the title reveals, Adam just won $750,000 and NO, its not a typo! All we invested was a mere $20 to have a little fun, we never thought we'd win this big. You might be thinking, playing the lottery is really not a good thing, Caroline. Well, my presumptuous friend, that is not what we did because we know better. Instead, we played a game familiar to most of us, like by some, despised by others (Mom).

It's fast, it's fun, but the pressure's really on when you are asked that all important question,


Deal, or No Deal?

Adam and I were neck and neck for a while. I was down to two cases, 20 and 21 - one held $10K, the other $500K. I had decided to press my luck and see it through to the end. When it came time to keep my case or switch it, I decided to switch it because I had a "good feeling" about case 20. Adam tried to talk some sense into me by reasoning that 21 was a lucky number due to the fact that 7 is a holy number and 7x3 (3 being the Trinity)=21 would be the right one. As the final case was opened, I saw my dreams of a larger home, Wesley's college fund, and that Alaskan cruise being flushed down the proverbial toilet. As play switched to Adam, he still had $200 or $750,000 - the difference between a new storm door or a larger home, Wesley's college fund, and that Alaskan cruise we so desire. Well, as luck would have it (because DoND is really all about luck), Adam picked the right case (13) and was the big winner! So there you have it, the amazing story on how we (I say we because what's his is also mine) won $750G's. We also disproved the theory that 13 is an unlucky number. After all, it was Adam's baseball jersey number back in high school, the day in March that we married, and the number that won us $750,000!

P.S. For those readers (remaining nameless) who may be a tad gullible, we didn't ACTUALLY win $750,000 because we were playing the DVD Home version of Deal or No Deal.

3 coins in my pocket:
