Once again fate has failed to favor me.
I should be satisfied with that time my boyfriend and I each won raffle prizes, but having won one raffle, once in my life, I want to win some more!
On Saturday, we went out to our favourite club, where a proper Halloween celebration was underway. The club were offering chances at a single big prize: free passes for an entire year. We attend this club quite often, so that would have been a brilliant prize for either of us. At fifteen pounds a head, it’s not exactly an inexpensive habit. (It truly is an absolutely fabulous club, though.)
Well, we each shelled out two pounds for ten Raffle Tickets at the door. Four hours later, on our way out, I asked the girl at the door when they would be drawing the winner.
“Oh, we did that already,” she said.
They had done it with no one looking, and then just told the winner. No big announcement or anything. What a disappointment.
You and I know better. If you’re going to the trouble of selling Raffle Tickets, you ought to play it up, generate some excitement, create theatre! Let everyone feel the anticipation. Let everyone envy the winner.
So, I didn’t win. Maybe next year!
