I don't believe in God, I'm not religious, I won't have my son baptized, but I let the gas station attendant put his hands over my lottery tickets to bless my numbers.
I think he's lucky. My sister and I both matched the power ball number after purchasing our tickets from him. So, I figure, let him pray, touch or even spit on them. Whatever he's got to do to help me win. Of course, I haven't won--except for the one time I matched the power ball and won three dollars.
I've done everything. I've used lucky numbers, unlucky numbers (the month my brother was born and the day the basement flooded), and the numbers from my fortune cookie.
My sister read somewhere that one of the top five things you shouldn't do when you are poor is buy lottery tickets. But, in my defense, I budget how much I can spend per year on tickets. Besides, if you never play, you'll never win.
I may be an atheist, but if any divine god, spirit, tree or whatever would like to help out, I'd appreciate it. So never mind the bread; God, give me my daily numbers.
Amen

Cha Cha
Cha Cha is more than a dance. It's also an organization where people can call with their questions and recieve an answer in a text message. People can ask anything. And they ask some weird, stupid and perverted questions.
I became a guide for Cha Cha after college to make some extra money while my partner was unemployed. I had planned on joining during college after a class mate told me about it in my Journalism class, but I never had the time.
It turns out, after college, you don't automattically get a job and money problems don't magically go away, so I gave it a chance. So far, I'm not very impressed with the earnings. In five hours you are lucky to make over a dollar. I answered questions regularily for a week and only made a little over $7.
It obviously isn't a work-from-home operation that can replace my part-time job--unfortunetly, but I'm going to give it a second shot. Who knows, maybe I'll make enough to buy something.
