At my local supermarket checkout, the cash machine suddenly rang bells, spat fireworks, and coughed up a fiver. It seems I could have won anything from 5 to 100 Euros, but just 5 was fine. I had to take my winning bill to the reception area and was then presented with the green plastic credit-card style thingy (above), which is impregnated with the €5. When there, I happened to ask the lady if 'everybody' won. No, she replied indignantly, just a random privileged few. So I feel blessed.
I never really win anything, I'm just not that sort; so this was an unexpected surprise. I also noticed, this morning, that my Leclerc supermarket 'loyalty card' has notched-up nearly €50 this year, so the Christmas turkey and Champage will be a seasonal gift to the Magnon household from the immensely wealthy M. Leclerc.
Merçi Monsieur.

While cleaning out my wallet yesterday, I noticed several, well actually, ten, store-loyalty cards...I suppose I'm not very loyal.
Congrats...5 euros is, well 5 euros!

Woo HOO! Break out the brass band, by golly. We've gotta celebrate the wins, and this a big one. Money FROM a grocery story?? That's HUGE! Good for you. All I ever get from the grocer is a big fat bill. (oh, and a smile ...)
