It's funny to read this as my husband and I have often wondered why I've been lucky and he hasn't. Recently, I won a shopping spree. Usually, I'm the one that notices free drawings, coupons, etc. I figure that I have nothing to lose and may possibly gain something and why not me. Somebody has to win and it could be me. Talking to other people, they often say that they'll never win so they don't even try. I suppose a bit of optimism is involved.
