Tell Us about a Personal Win.
I'll take this literally and write about the Christmas raffle I won last December! There's a "tradition" in Italy: before Christmas (and sometimes before Easter) shops will have a raffle. You choose one or more numbers between 1 and 90 and pay a small sum for each number (usually around €5). The raffle is linked to one of the lotto draws of the week before Christmas and prizes are stuff like hampers full of Christmas products, bottles of wine, or something else, depending on the shop organising the raffle.
In my family, my dad's usually the lucky one: he won various Christmas hampers and Easter chocolate eggs over the years, but last year it was my turn! A couple of days before Christmas I had coffee with my colleagues at the usual coffee place near our office, and I saw they had a Christmas raffle. First prize was 10 free lunches, second prize was 10 free aperitivi, third prize was 10 free breakfasts. I saw my lucky number was still available and decided to invest €5 on it. It was a spur-of-the-moment decision and guess what: I won the first prize! :D
I already claimed the first of my free lunches (and brought a colleague with me, because this kind of luck should be shared), and it was a delicious meal. I'm looking forward to more yummy lunches in the next weeks. :)
