\"OLYMPUS<\/a>…the sun day.\u00a0 Saturday the Florida Lottery came to Paddock Square at Brownwood\u00a0to kick off the new 3 Million Dollar Flamingo\u00a0Fortune scratch-off\u00a0ticket and\u00a0to also showcase their\u00a0new lottery logo. The 20 year old logo literally got a facelift, although the state offices call it a refreshing.\u00a0 According to\u00a0officials, the font is more playful, and the flamingo’s features are\u00a0more defined, which I think makes even the flamingo look quite “Sophie Tucker” playful. Why not come up and buy a ticket sometime, playful. I did purchase $30 worth of tickets and won another $20 worth, which I was told I\u00a0now had won\u00a066% of my money back. \u00a0I disagreed with that analogy as, when all the scratching\u00a0was completed,\u00a0I had won $8, which is a 26% return on my investment.\u00a0 That would have been a great return, if I had not lost my initial investment.\u00a0\u00a0Another way\u00a0it could be said\u00a0is I suffered a 74% loss, and\u00a0was not entitled to a tax deduction That is very depressing, however, to be perfectly honest. it is hard to put a price on being out in the sunshine, with friends\u00a0 having\u00a0fun, and for a moment imagining a new golf cart in the garage, or better yet $1000 a week for life.\u00a0\u00a0No price can be put on the fact that everyone that stepped up to buy tickets and spin the wheel, did so with a big smile on their face.\u00a0 The\u00a0excitement of being a big winner was experienced with each scratch of the card.\u00a0 There were hoots and hollers as people scratched and won, and I do believe it did not matter the amount,\u00a0what mattered is they were a winner.\u00a0 Well, until the next scratch that is. And yet when I looked at the enormous amount of people having fun, I could not help but think that those of us who are\u00a0Village\u00a0resident\u00a0 would have to \u00a0say we hit the jackpot the day we decided to move here. We receive prizes every day and they come in the form of: \u00a0new recreation centers, new golf courses, new swimming pools, new activities, new\u00a0restaurants, new stores\u00a0and most importantly… new friends.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
