I picked up a stack of 50 crisp unc $2 bills at my bank. Held on to them for months because they're so pretty. Now it's time to spend them!

5 lottery tix at a neighborhood grocery store = $10... Clerk was a young man in his 20s. Was excited to see the notes: "Hey $2 bills! Nice" he said.

5 lottery tix at a convenience store = $10...

Clerk was a pleasant woman who looked at the notes and said "Ooh, $2 bills!".

PS: I don't usually get 5 tix at a time but the jackpot is 500 mill so... who knows :)

So, that pesky lottery jackpot is getting bigger and bigger. And I'm a gamblin' man so...

Another 5 lottery tix at a gas station convenience store = $10

Clerk was pleasant but quiet. She didn't say anything about the Jeffersons but definitely took her time before putting them in the drawer.

Then, another batch of TJs at another gas station on my way home. So 5 x 2 = $10 again...

Again, the clerk was pleasant but quiet. On my way out the door I noticed she still had the notes in her hand.

I try to spread the notes all over town, never using them at the same shop. In fact, when I buy lottery tix I always hit different places each week. Can't say my method is particularly lucky so far. But if and when I do hit that jackpot I'll let ya know :)

BTW: That's a total of 10 x 2 for $20 in Jeffersons today so...

I better win this lottery soon - I'm running out of $2 bills -

Was on the road today, stopped in some small "packy" (what we call liquor stores around here) and got another 5 lottery tix ($10)...

Clerk just said thanks and put the notes in the drawer. It's been awhile since anyone was truly excited or annoyed to see my $2 bills. I wonder how many clerks wait till I leave and switch them out for their collection. My mother used to do that with half dollars etc.

Anyway, $1,244 to go

5 more $2 bills spent yesterday on ... you guessed it ... lottery tickets.

Stopped in a small gas station. Wasn't even sure they sold lottery tickets. Guy ahead of me bought some and moved to the side. The clerk - an older gentleman - took my order and printed out the tickets while his boss collected my money. When I handed the notes to her she paused to look at them and said "ooh, nice! I'm gonna save these!" Then the other customer said "this guy's gona win some money!" and the cerk said "don't forget us after you win". So everyone was having fun and were happy to see the notes.

That's another 10 bucks down so new tally:

$1,234 to go.

PS: I didn't win...yet! But better win soon because I'm running low on Jeffersons.

At the grocery store today, 5 more Jeffersons on this billion-dollar lottery jackpot. I gotta win now right?

Asked the clerk for 5 tickets and slapped 5 $2 bills on the counter. She smiled and said "Nice! They're still crisp! Do they still make these?" I said, "Yup, all the time. I'll bring more on my next trip." Don't know if she kept them but she was happy to see them and I'm happy to get some positive feedback from clerks.

New tally:

$1,224 to go
