I've probably never bought more than $10 worth of lottery tickets in my life, and it was always when I was traveling out of state. It was a novelty more than anything else.
Quite a few years ago, I received a very official looking letter in the mail and had to sign for it. It said I had recently entered a sweepstakes and I was one of the winners and would be contacted soon. The only sweepstakes I could remember entering was Publishers Clearinghouse, so I got rather excited and was left to stew on it for about a week.
I was contacted and an appointment made early Saturday. The prize was about $50 worth of seeds, and it was more of a sales call than anything else. After stewing for a week, I was thoroughly pi**ed and threw the guy out.
