If I participate in every raffle I hear of….
I am used to always paying for things I need. If I were earning a huge salary I would not care. Even though I currently have a good amount of money saved in the bank, I always try to save a penny. This involves washing my car (detail’s fucking expensive), buying clothes at Ross (where else can I get $80.00 jeans for only $20.00?), and even riding my bike to certain places (have you not seen the price of gasoline?).
Well now I have gotten to the point where I want a few things for free. Now forget the Lotto and Fantasy Five. Hasn’t anybody notice that the prize winners are always from redneck towns in North Florida? Going to the Seminole Indian Casino? Fuck that. First I don’t know crap about blackjack nor poker. Second, most of those machines are rigged in favor of the house. And if by any miracle I win, they’ll assume I’m cheating and they’ll take me to the backroom (You’ve seen Casino, you know what happens in the backroom).
What I have decided to do is that anytime I see a sign for a contest, I sign up for it. Write a 300 word essay, win a cash prize, I’m in. I’m waiting for Jeopardy to come to South Florida, because I know that could qualify. Last time I checked the bastards were in Philly. I’ve also signed up for all promotionsand contests on several Miami-Dade and Broward counties’ radio stations. 93.1 Rock, currently has a contest where you win a trip to L.A. to report on a Motley Crue press conference. Now, I could give a rat’s ass about Motley Crue, but come on, it’s a free trip to L.A.!! Earlier, I had registered to win a free trip to Ireland and also tickets for the Langerado Music Festival, neither of which I won. But I think that if a person registers for every single one of these promotions, eventualy he/she has to win something…right?
Now I’m trying to find out which strip clubs close to my job, have free lunch buffets. Any cafeteria is expensive, and fuck the crap they serve at McDs or BoogerKing. Gotta save money.
