A couple of weeks ago, I bought a lottery ticket and forgot about it. As I now recall, I had placed it in my laptop bag for safe keeping, but as the saying goes: "out of sight, out of mind."

This morning, I went through my laptop back looking for my iPod charger. I didn't find my charger but I found the lottery ticket. I wasn't really excited in finding the ticket because I knew that no one won the jackpot and the prized had rolled over to the next drawing. Yet, curiousity got the best of me and I went online to see how far or close my numbers were to the winning ones.

To my surprise, I apparently got three out of the six numbers. This means that I won a total of $5 which means I broke even because that's how much I originally spent for the ticket.
