    My dad is luckier than... (insert favorite cliche here)

    Dad calls me this morning and says, "If you had tickets to the Sugar Bowl tonight would you go?" I thought and said probably not, I have to work tomorrow and don't care about Michigan or VT. He says oh, well I'm going. A guy at his work has 6 tickets and invited him.

    The guy is the luckiest person I know. 3 weeks ago he calls me about a raffle for new Benelli. I said get me a couple tickets. 1 hour later he calls me and said that he won it. Oh and that's the 2nd shotgun he won in 2011... First was a Stoeger turkey gun.

    Who do you know like this?

    I am no way that lucky. My Indian name is DARK CLOUD for a reason.

    Re: My dad is luckier than... (Alan S)

    I am actually pretty lucky when it comes to that kind of stuff. I haven't won any raffles but honestly can't remember if I bought any tickets.

    I have won contest on the radio for tickets to different events. I won a drawing on here for a bunch of SB from HeavyCover . I won the big jackpot on our superbowl card last year. Various other things.

    I also have pretty good luck with selling stuff and turning nothing into something. I just kinda fall into good deals a lot.
