Day 21: Jackpot

Day 21: Jackpot by elle_rigby.
As a direct result of doing laundry, I became $15 richer.

It wasn't that I was being paid, as much as I found a ten, and 5 ones soaking wet at the bottom of the machine after the final spin cycle. My brainy side tells me that since I have a habit of squirreling money away in my pants pockets, it is probably mine. While my more fanciful side tells me some other dope left money in their trousers and they left it for me to retrieve.

$15 dollars looks so much! What can you buy with that these days? Peace of mind, beauty, art? Buy a lottery ticket and go to starbucks!

Oh and I was bored so I looked up the origin of jackpot

A jackpot is the betting pool in a version of draw poker that requires a pair of jacks or better to "open the pot" and start the betting. "The money up is called the pot," explained a gambler to an Indiana court in 1879,

So jackpot has acquired two meanings beyond the realm of poker. One kind of jackpot is serious trouble. "You're probably already in the jackpot for taking a duty car out of Dade County," says a character in a mystery novel by Carl Hiaasen. But the other kind is the more familiar jackpot we hope to win, or rather to hit--in a competition, a lottery, or a lifetime.

elle. The color in this shot is just so very nice. You are just so very lovely. And I'd say that even if you hadn't just become rich.

Love the colors in this! And yay for finding money! It doesn't matter if it was yours in the first place, because it had already been forgotten! :)

Oh wow, I absolutely love the colours in this! And finding money is great, even if it was yours and you forgot then it's still money you didn't have before!

Oops, just noticed I've typed almost the exact same as Rachel-B... well they do say great minds think alike ;)

I do this constantly. It's a direct result of using no wallet.

My dryer is like a savings account.

I hate to disappoint your fanciful side, elle, but the money was probably yours; I can't imagine paper money surviving two washes without disintergrating into little pieces. Still, its a great find, and is just as rewarding as finding money on the ground.
