The Josephine Files - #4

After I left work yesterday, I made sure I got my vote in [how could i have forgotten; my news feed on facebook was a constant reminder], and then I decided to give Josephine a call to congratulate her.

Congratulate her on what, you ask?

Well - she won the jackpot at bingo the other night. This is a huge deal for her, because Jesus is never on her side and lets her win. She was ecstatic as she continued on to tell me the story. She was down to one spot, B12. It was never going to happen, she explained, so she wasn't getting her hopes up. She prays and prays, and he never follows through.

What do you think the next number that was called was? Uh, B12! She couldn't believe it - Jesus listened. The man with the cash came over and counted it in front of her, for all to see. She even was escorted out to her car; an old lady in a dark parking lot, you never know what could happen.

This was a big night for her. So big, in fact, the next day she went straight to the bank to open a savings account. At 85 years old.

Congrats, Josephine. Glad Jesus came through for ya.

bet she had an even bigger smile collecting her winnings.

  1. Where does Josephine play Bingo?? Is it at Queen of Heaven cause I've played there several times and I never won either but now after hearing Josephine's story I have hope!
