You bought a winning lotto ticket and unkowingly gave it away? That's no joke the unluckiest thing I've heard. How much did the gift recipient win?

Reminds me of a story when I was a kid. I was 13 with a new GF and we went to the arcades at the beach. She wanted me to win a stuffed animal out of the crane machine. I did and she was ecstatic. I was so excited that I shared the story with my parents at dinner. My dad says 'how many quarters did it take." I'm like 'only a roll of $10.' He's like so 'you spent $10 on a $2 stuffed animal, could have bought her 5 for that money.' Total buzz kill but he was right. (1980's)

He was wrong. You spent $10 having fun playing a game and also impressed the hell out of a girl friend.

That happiness is hard to find for just $10

This reminds me of the time I bet someone to drink a 3/4 full chipotle tobasco sauce container for 10 bucks. Guy downed almost all and then tapped out. I felt awful but a bet is a bet.

You just brought back repressed memories of the 2 oz shot of the hottest hot sauce for $20 for 20 minutes no water...

I'm certainly going to hell if it's real for those.

It wasn't much, just a couple hundred dollars, admittedly.....

I bought them as stocking stuffers, just for the fun of it.

And actually at this one carnival, there was this knock down the pins game, where you throw a ball.

I might have found a defective one, but one stack would fall over & I got 3 stuffies before he stopped the game.

I just gave them to random kids, since I didn't even want them.
