[QUOTE="10gary22, post: 981876, member: 23626"]Probably. I was leaving Sanita Anita Rack track once with a group of our wives and friends when I noticed a ticket on the ground that looked back at me.

I got the last laughs as on the way to the car, these guys were picking up EVERY ticket on the ground. LOL I have found them from time to time, generally just by glancing down and somehow the numbers jump back at you. I never stopped to pick up a lot of tickets off the ground, but I would glance at them for sure. Of course, I would have dumped the trashcan upside down, picked through it for the coins and put all the trash back before the wife made me walk home. Things like that embarrass her. gary[/QUOTE]
