Lotteries and raffles...

Bitch! I screwed up like a total idiot ))))

so there is a lottery in the hall = three smart LG TVs = small 23" + medium 35+ and large 47"






People collected tickets...

but! only 1 TV per person, they start playing from a small one
i.e. if you take the small one, then you are eliminated from the rest...

/////////////////////
1) made a denomination = exchanged all the collected tickets 1:30 = shaved all the little ones
2) merged 3 halls = increased competition

Actually, I originally planned to take 2 out of 3 TVs
when I found out that in one hand = 1 TV + several halls combined = you need to take what falls out.... with this thought I went to the drawing

but! before the prank the wife said = "why the hell do we need another TV?!" = this thought of a loved one became fatal

////////////////
when they were raffling off TVs, I put my tickets into the lottery machine
and my ticket was the very first one drawn = for the smallest TV....
what to do?
take it or refuse and reach for the next ones?
.....
1) the drum was half empty, my tickets were 35
2) the wife said "why do we need another TV?"
= DECIDED TO FLIP A COIN
eagle = to take
tails = refuse

it came up tails, bitch ))))))

in short, they overplayed and the TV went to another person... and then the other two found happy owners ))))

///////////////////
felt like a complete idiot :pinch:

then Zhenya arrived from another hall, where they were also playing 3 TVs....
says the husband won the smallest one and took it
on the middle one they pulled out his ticket = it's too late
and they also pulled out his ticket for the biggest one = they beat another person = the whole room was goofing off on him ))))

This is exactly the scenario I was afraid of, so I gave up on the small TV......

///////////////////
I don't know if I did it right or not ))))
IN LOTTERIES YOU HAVE TO TAKE WHAT FALLS IMMEDIATELY and not fool yourself with possible scenarios....

What do you think?

Not only in the lottery, but everywhere to take what arrived, refused means not needed...
"Death of a Programmer" preface to the book "Reality Transurfing" by Vadim Zeland, it's exactly about this...

I've noticed in life... If they give, TAKE it. If they give, don't offend by refusing. If they hit, HIT harder!
Once, out of anger, I tore up a banknote... the result - financial losses in everything over a long period of time!
Boris, don't be upset... NEW YEAR IS COMING SOON!!!

Sometimes a lot depends on the financial status of a person at a given moment. For someone, even a "small" TV is already a big gift, and for someone, even the biggest TV is not needed, they have many of them.
But here's another point: - if Destiny gives you something, you need to take it, otherwise it will think, "Well, he doesn't need my gifts, I won't give them to him anymore," it will turn into a resentful person and that's it.
Unnecessary things can be donated/sold.

Fate gives you what you need, you need to take it, otherwise it will think, "Well, he doesn't need my gifts, I won't give them anymore," it will turn into a resentful person and that's it.

Very well said!

I think you should have bought a small TV. Wives are always like that )) No need to be greedy. Especially if you really want the biggest TV, you can buy it anyway, without any stress or regrets )) And that guy did the right thing.
