Friend of mine texted me today asking me if I wanted to buy a ticket. I said yes.

He was supossed to pick up the money for the ticket tonight, but he got tied up and said he would front me the money for the ticket, and he would stop over and pick up the ticket money this weekend. Just now got a text that I won.

I'll buy you breakfast at Tudor's Biscuit World!

I'm calcualting how many breakfast's I can buy for $500!
