I almost tossed it out

Six numbers on the screen I am sure they look familiar The birthdays of loved ones Chosen to make it simpler I look again and rub my eyes I'm sure there is no doubt But where is the ticket? Have i tossed it out? My husband coming home from work Is shocked to hear my news We've got the winning numbers Although we may just lose I don't know where the ticket is My husband starts to scout Where did you last have it? I must have tossed it out! Bewildered I retrace my steps And think of where I've been Just as I give up all hope I find it in the bin The crumpled ticket found I start to scream and shout A luxurious life awaits me To think I almost tossed it out!!
