Dear Lissu,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So nice to hear that WHEN you win the lottery, you\u2019re not even planning to tell me, much less share your winnings. Have you forgotten that your birth took 48 hours?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyway, I think I\u2019ll notice when you\u2019re living in a 23-room apartment and driving a Lamborghini. And trust me, I\u2019ll know it’s lottery money because I don’t think you could walk in the high-heeled shoes you need to be a high-priced prostitute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My footwear of choice is Crocs, so I guess I\u2019ll stick to my day job, which, you may recall, was for many years \u201cprofessional gambler.\u201d Back in the 1990s, after a months-long winning streak at the casinos in Atlantic City, my accountant encouraged me to go pro for tax reasons, so I did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boy, those were the days. Every week my friend Barbara and I would ride the bus from Manhattan to Atlantic City<\/a> to play the slot machines. And every week for around 12 weeks straight I won thousands of dollars, sometimes even tens of thousands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I spent some of my winnings on a luxury vacation to Finland. We rented a car and drove all the way from Helsinki up to northern Norway. I think we must have eaten in 30 Rosso restaurants along the way. Don\u2019t get me wrong, I like Finnish food, but there\u2019s a limit to how many rye pizzas a person can eat. I\u2019ve never been as happy to see a McDonald\u2019s as I was by the time we got to Oulu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyway, it was a great trip, but it was also the end of my lucky streak. The only logical explanation I can come up with is that I took the lucky underpants I had worn every single time I won with me. It must have been something in the Finnish water or laundry detergent, because I never won again after that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My career as a professional gambler was Finnished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Good luck in this week\u2019s lottery,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
