Woo hoo free powder.

[starmac]

The lgs actually had powder this evening. They have a 3 pound limit per powder, so I picked up 3 pounds of 4350 and 3 of unique. I was on the way to take my wife to the pull tab joint that her friend works at, so I went in (usually don't) and won 250 bucks, so after leaving the lady a 25 buck tip (customary) and taking my wife out for mexican food, my powder wound up being free. lol

Good on ya!

[plmitch]

Very nice Sir!

LOLn It was funny. I doubt if I have spent a total of forty dollars on pull tabs inmy life, they are just boring to me. I didn't say any thing when I won it (it was the biggest prize you could win in that game) but instead just put it the pile of 1 dollar winners. The lady ask how I could do that, everybody else hoops and hollers when they win. lol I said just give me my money. lol

"pull tab joint" . . . . ??????? I'm not a young punk but I have no idea what you
are talking about. The only kind of pull tab I ever heard of was on drink cans
in the 60s. Sounds like you won money, so is this some sort of casino?

Congratulations on free money, but I am mystified as to the source.

If I'm not mistaken its little cardboard squares with two layers. You pull little rectangles to view what is on the bottom cardboard piece to view a $ you won if any. Sorta like a scratch off ticket.

Shoot, can yo go back and get more powder tomorrow?

Pull Tabs are a standard gambling game at a lot of American Legion Halls.

I will be going back tomorrow, but I bet it will be gone. lol At the very least it will be slim pickens. They just got it in today, and not a big assortment at all.

Yea these are the little cardboard pull tabs, just like at a lot of American legions or even vfw's. Casinos are not legal here, but they have these little pull tab joints scattered all over town. I doubt if your chances are any better as slot machines in a casino.

Lotta Moose Lodges use 'em too. I've never bought one yet. I just eat and run !

Lets see, lucky because he won on a pull tab, or lucky because he found some Unique Powder (Been looking to buy some more of that for over a year now). I'll put my faith in his luck in finding the Unique Powder. I even thought briefly, "It's only 2,300 miles to Fairbanks, Wonder if they'd still have some Unique when I got there if I left this evening?"

Congratulations on the luck all around.

I can promise you it would be gone by the time you flew up, much less drive. lol If you did drive up for it, I would have to feel sorry for enough to probably hook you up with a couple pounds. lol

Everyone claims there is no ammo shortage in canada, I wonder about the availability of powder there, you might be able to drive up and make a profit. lol

Hey star... I would be happy to share in your good fortune... :roll:

[lylejb]

in Oregon, the lottery also has pull tabs, but mostly in bars

[MtGun44]

Thanks for the explanations. Never saw it but I am not a gambler, so never pay attention
to lottery stuff. I bought one ticket many years ago when they first got the lottery in KS for $1
and won $2 and retired a winner.
