Today was a hectic day. I had to run a bunch of errands. On top of that I had a job interview, theatre rehearsal, and then I had to drive to my dad’s place in Pennsylvania.
I ended up waiting to give away my $10 until I got on the road. I cut it close too…I found my recipient at 11:35pm. I stopped at a gas station / convenience store in Thurmont, MD. I went in and saw two employees in their late 20s or early 30s and asked them if either would be interested in participating. The guy who was mopping the floor originally said he would participate. I asked him for his name and I think he got spooked and he said that maybe I wanted to ask his coworker. I did, and Jack accepted my $10.
Originally, from Prince George’s County, MD, Jack lives in Thurmont now. In addition to working at the convenience store, he is also an artist. He likes designing tattoos too. I asked him how many he had and he replied, “Just a couple.”
I was in a hurry and these guys were working, so I didn’t want to bother them. Jack said he was going to buy some scratch-off Maryland Lottery tickets with the $10. I have faith that he is going to get some money too! He said he won $13 earlier that day and once won $500.
Jack, let us know if you ended up winning anything with the scratch-off tickets you bought?
