Years ago, the Pennsylvania Lottery had posted ads on a number of billboards with the caption: "No tickee, no money". People of Chinese background must have complained about it. Within a few months, the captioned was changed to "No ticket, no money". Nearly all people are unluckie when they play the lottery (hey, that rhymes!) You have another great limerick here, Sarge!

From your gifted pen comes this Limerick that many can relate to as Tim B said below, Bob! I've heard terrible stories of past lottery winners, so maybe chuckie ain't "unluckie" after all. lol Best of luck in the contest and I enjoyed this one! Love, Annalise
