Going to extend my stay now!

Every once in a while, things really work out great, and the fates smile down on ya, and this happened to me. I don't buy lotto tickets or scratchers or play the casino that often, once in a great while as the whim might strike me but my average 'wasted' money would average out to $20 a month...and I had already bought my twenty for the month on insta pick for that mega lotto they had a while back..but when my son said to pick up some scratchers for him I picked up three and funny thing is, I said since I paid but it was his idea, whatever we won we would split, and I'm glad I said that, because the third scratch off we won the jackpot! :D

So we are going to split it, and my share is going to bump me ahead by two months on my next Negril trip budget, which means I'm going to be able to add more days and make my stay longer, WOOHOOOO!

So now I will be arriving in Negril August 10th and staying until September 1st. :)

Negriloholic, That is so awesome. Congratulations on your winnings and enjoy your extended stay.

thanks! I'll be spending the first week at Grand Pineapple with an old friend from way back in jr high, and not sure where I'll be spending the next two weeks, more than likely will do Summerset Again, but will also be considering all my options. :)

Nice!!!

Good for you~

See now everything happens for a reason.looks like you have been rewarded for your striked budget! Congrats!

Good news!

That is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!! Congrats! So cool


I need to start buying these scratchers or whatever it is....all these boardies winning and going to Jamaica....it must be a sign! LOL

That's awesome. You truly love Negril.

That's so awesome!!!:D Congratulations!!
I'm really happy for you! You deserve this!

You're the second boardie that has won the lottery!
Man, I need to start playing...

Oh wow, I'm the second? Must be a sign? Who was the first? Anyway, I am really stoked and will be buying my return ticket later today so that way even if prices of fuel get jacked up I will be covered. :)

or you can just purchase another lotto ticket ....

nope, I'm done buying for a while, figured that used up my good luck and don't want to press it...save what good luck is left to see me through another time. ;) Ya never know when you might need a spot of luck, and don't want it all used up! 8)

If anyone knows, give me a hint on good luck in gambling.. I haven't figured that one out yet. I've had great luck every where else. Enjoy.

I don't do it that often at all, but I would say play scratchers instead of lotto tickets, the payout may be smaller, but the odds are more in your favor..

I've decided to go my second two weeks at Hidden Paradise..total cost for two weeks.. $660! That's right across the street from the beach, and has ac, minifridge, and pool! :)

congrats negrilaholic, that is awesome!

You know am so happy for you girlfriend..wish i was down the same time-we could do a little hanging and a little road trippin...

YAHHH!!!!! CONGRATS! what a way to spend the winnings! which makes it even sweeter!

Who was the first?!?!?!

The first one to mention winning the lotto was sunbrned. He mentioned it on the American Airlines post by Yvonne. He explained how they picked Negril as their wedding destination after they won some money in the lotto, that was from scratch offs as well.....guess I need to buy some scratch offs

My uncle won the lottery last year. I've been trying to get him to buy a place in Negril...or at least spring for a family reunion there.

I'm seriously considering having Sexy Rexy himself pick me up at the airport if he's available, so anyone that can give me any info or experiences with him would love to hear all about it! :)

He loves ganja ....

LOL Gerry. Rexy is a great guy to kick it with, however I'm not sure I would have him drive me around.

This board is good luck then! Is it too much to ask that we all win a little money now??? LOL

Well, I just stumbled across a fascinating article about scratch offs..who knows, it might actually help someone? Anyway, here ya go: http://www.wired.com/magazine/2011/01/ff_lottery/all/1

Just to update..I literally just pushed the button just now and bought my ticket to return the 1st, so now my plane fare is fully bought..total price $743...and how much did I pay just last year November? $542 round trip! Something tells me I am going to be happy with the price I paid though and not have to worry too much about any huge drops in price of fuel in the near future, I really don't see it happening.

Now next month I will mostly be paying towards the Grand Pineapple part of my stay. :)
