We have a celebrity in the family. Tracey has won a brand new Four Wheeler. I think it is a Honda 500?

She always fills out the drawings at Albertsons, and any where else. She was doing her grocery shopping on Friday August 1st. She saw that they were having a drawing for a four wheeler. So she stopped by, filled out a ticket for her and one for Bud, finished her shopping and went on home. When she got home there was a message from the radio station, that her name had been drawn. She was to go to Jorgenson’s ATV dealership in Richfield, that night for another drawing. There was a process of elimination. This time it was to see if you picked the right key to open a lock. There were about forty people there for this. She picked a key, and it unlocked a lock. Now she was eligible to go on to the next elimination which would be Saturday night at the Derby. So, her Bud and the kids went to the Derby. Now there were only eleven other people besides her that were eligible for the next drawing. This time they all were to go down to the arena and get on a big trailer, that had the four wheeler on it, and be paraded around the arena. Since she is kinda of shy?, she wasn’t so sure that she wanted to go get up on the trailer, but she did. Being a little nervous she climbs up on the trailer. They drive around the arena, to get the crowd motivated. Now it’s time to draw a name. The radio disc jockey draws the first name. It’s not Tracey’s, darn! But not to worry. Her and Bud had discussed what options she had. You see, each person was to win some kind of prize. First there would be the four wheeler, then there was a trailer to hold four wheelers, then a bag to put on the four wheeler, then a bike, a case of coke for a year, a remote control car, and some other smaller gifts. The young lady whose name was drawn first, picked a key it didn’t start the four wheeler. GOOD. So she picks the remote control car. She is happy with that. Then the next name they draw out is Tracey’s ,WHOOPI!!, she is so excited, because she thinks she is going to get the trailer, like her and Bud had discussed. So she climbs up on the four wheeler, sits on it and reaches into a box that she can’t see into and reaches around for a key. She picks one, pulls it out and puts it in the ignition, thinking yippy, I get the trailer. She turns the key and glory be……….Sirens go off and the four wheeler starts up.! The crowd cheers, Bud is up in the crowd whistling and oh so very excited. Tracey is overwhelmed and can’t believe she has won the four wheeler. Bud comes down from the crowd jumps up on the trailer so he can inspect the new TOY. Tracey is all smiles. The radio disc jockey asks her, so what do you say?, she says “thank you? ”, and then he says where will you take it, she says “to the mountains? ”. The crowd laughs. Now she is sitting on her brand new four wheeler and they parade her around the arena, on the trailer. She feels like a beauty queen sitting up there, so she gives a little wave to the crowd.

They have picked it up and have taken it to the mountains riding and it goes real fast, they are happy. Now they need to BUY a trailer to hold all their four wheelers, you see they had just bought a big CAMAM just a few months ago, and they still have their old one. The moral to this story is, always fill out those drawing tickets. You just might win.
