Oh, where do I begin. A few weeks ago, DH called a semi-local radio station, for a call in contest. Caller #100 was to win $50, and would be entered into the grand prize drawing to be eligible to win $1,000 a week for life (40 years). He was the 100th caller.
A couple of weeks passed, and they called to say he had been chosen as the GRAND PRIZE WINNER, and to meet at the radio station this morning.
Here is Ted, listening to the rules. There were 20 money bags. In each money bag was an envelope. There were TWO grand prize certificates. If he picked BOTH of them, he would win the $1,000 a week for life. We calculated the odds at 1/190. Not bad. (He already was chosen out of about 1,600 people to be the grand prize winner.) If he didn't find a grand prize certificate, all the other envelopes contained a prize dollar amount, starting at $1.
Ted chose two money bags, with $5,000 each in them! We left with a check for $10,000. Not the 'grand prize', but we are excited and very thankful.
We believe this is a God thing. Ted never calls in for those contests, and the first time he attempted, he qualified and then won. Then we are blessed with $10,000. It's not life-altering lottery winnings, but will get our porch finished... maybe some landscaping...
Praise God from Whom all blessings flow!
