on a whim i bought one of those bps scratch off ticket from the mo lottery last friday nite dont no why i did dont buy that kinda thing very often anyhoo when i scratched it off won a $500.00 gift card from bps. took it to the regional lottery office had it verified then sent off to the main office in jeff city. will receive my gift card in 4-6 weeks  cant believe it starting to make out my shopping list now

Super cool!

Great win for a first time buy. It that called Beginner's Luck? Won't buy the whole store out though = LOL.

got the card in the mail yesterday now to sit down and prioritize my list of things to buy also kinda waiting to see if they havea big sale also cant wait even though the buying will be fun i think all the prep work is the most fun

Make sure you get [or have] a large enough Tackle box to put it all in. LOL!!!! Might save a few $$ to eat in the store restaurant after you do all that buying.

unfortunately the bps here in st louis doesnt have a restaraunt have spent roughly half of it updating with things i wanted new rod and reel some shallow cranks floating fish lite etc. now will just see what the ads and sales are and p/u items then and again now just need to get out and fish hey troy possibility i will be up at mark twain on 5/21 with my brother if we go will go out of indian creek marina if we go would love to meet up with ya ill keep u updated on if we are going or not if u want pm me ur email or phone no and ill get u any details as they occur if the weather dont cooperate mite push it back to the 22 just let me no

If you need some help spending that 500 card I'll gladly help u . Don't think I'll hold my breath on that though. Con grads on your win.

I'd say he's spent 'er all by now River Rat...that was a year ago.
