I'M FUCKING RICH

So I won $60 doing an experiment today. Ok, so if you're taking classes in the Pysch, Social & Decision Sciences, or Business departments you have to participate in experiments/studies run by staff and faculty. So today I had one where you have to solve anagrams. We could solve as many as we wanted until all the ones they came up with were used up, and for every one we got right we were paid $0.50 and "played" a lottery with a 1% chance of winning $50. So I figure, ok, I've got time, I'll just do this as long as I can 'cause why not, I get paid for each one I get right. So I'm going through, not solving anagrams, used to seeing "Sorry, you didn't win this time" every time the lottery comes up. Then about halfway through, after I solve an anagram, the program goes, "You won the lottery! Congratulations, you earned $50!". WHAT. I honestly had to sit there for a minute or two and just stare at the screen, to make sure I wasn't imagining things, or it wasn't a fluke. Soooo yeah, I won $50 on a 1% chance lottery, plus $12.50 for solving 25 anagrams (those things got hard fucking FAST), for a grand total of $62fucking50. Yay spending money!

The only problem is, now I'm just waiting for something horrible to happen to make up for it. Bet I fail an exam tomorrow. Bet I don't sleep again tonight. :(
