Lady Luck

Now there's one lady I wouldn't mind getting a lot closer to today! You see, I'm about to do something either extremely clever or incredibly silly. Allow me to elaborate: I keep this glass bowl thing to where I empty my pocket change at the end of the day. It's not like a piggy bank, just a handy place to keep my coins. Anyway, I decided it was time to change them for real money and before I counted it, I told myself that I would spend what I had in coins smaller then 20p I'd spend on scratch cards.

Turns out I had just in 1p, 2p, 5p and 10p coins around £20! Well, never one to back off on my decisions, I'm going to buy now £20 worth of scratch cards - at £1 each, so 20 chances of winning!

On the back of those cards it does say that there's a 1 in 4 chance of winning, so I'm going to buy 20 of the same kind, in a row. In terms of just probability, I could get 5 prizes, but of course this doesn't really mean anything. Time to be optimistic then and hope for the best. I'll post the exciting outcome of this here later today or tomorrow (unless I'm busy burning away all the money I won, eheh!).
