my lucky day in munich

Somedays (most) one feels like they are not lucky and nothing exciting and special will happen today. 11/3/2010 was a different day for me. It was lucky from the moment I left the house and my train pulled up as if it was just for me.

When I met Anja in the city for lunch, the question was where? Beautiful sun beaming through the winter cold but ice cold winds making the idea a pipedream. Out of shear luck, we headed down a street looking at cafes we didn’t even think existed and found one with a free table at the back. One free table! One next to the window with the entire sun beaming through! Needless to say, superb toasted sandwiches, exotic drinks and great service.

My next stroke of luck involved finding a German learning magazine in the main train station (of which countless hours can be lost looking for the right exit alone). Found it with no problems but the cashier insisted I only gave him 6€ and not 7€. In my best deutsch I stood my ground and after a minute of pointless argument I saved my self from being ripped off like a foreigner. Despite him wanting to count the till and show me the security footage.

On these days of luck, one must ask him self… “how much is a Lotto ticket in Germany?”
Considering that my luck might be changing or had already ran out, I spent 4€ on a ticket (choose 6 out of 49 times 5 ). I should have been charged 5€ but was only charged 4€.

Two days later, I won just over 11€ for having 3 numbers correct. This value was also slightly higher than the expected average winning (for matching 3 numbers).

All and all, a day to remember and a day to document. For all those who seem to have a bad string of luck, just remember that tomorrow is another day… and it’s got to be somewhat lucky for someone right?
