I need advice.

Yesterday, after three phone calls lasting maybe a total of 15minuts and without an interview, I got offered a job working at Ft Lewis (local Army base) doing server admin work for a couple grand more a year.

First thing today I found a four leaf clover in my garden.  Then I got an official job offer. 

So, with this strange luck, should I go out and buy a lotto ticket or wait to be struck by lightning?

EDIT: I also won an eBay auction that I was convinced I wouldn't win.

Back when the California lottery first started, the odds of winning were something like 15 million to one. Which is a little worse than your odds of being struck by lightning twice in your lifetime. Now the odds are about three times worse.

So, yeah, buy a lottery ticket.

But expect that you will be stuck by lightning twice before you win.
If it wasn't for bad taste, I wouldn't have no taste at all.

I did take the job and I am giving my notice to my current employer tomorrow.
Unfortunately, it is not a GS job I am working for a contractor (NCI).
I did buy lotto tickets and I have wait for the mega million, but on two $5 scratch cards I did win $25.

Congrats on the job

They do say all things happen in threes...
1. Job Offer
2. Four leave clover
3. eBay winning


... I still voted on the lotto ticket, cos tha way I look at this, the clover should give you an additional goodspell of three

Do we receive a DVD when you win like over 500,000,000.00 US$

Anyways good luck !!!
