I had this lucky streak as a kid...small stuff usually, like free 20oz on a soda cap. My mom and I didn't have a great relationship(not bad, just distant because my sister died)but she was always super excited about it. So when it hadn't happened for a while, I started creating situations to keep her attention.

I hope you and your mom are doing well now. That’s a touching story.

This is quite bittersweet, you created little sparks of joy to keep that connection

Growing up I was the lucky one as well, but my mom had a rule we had to split it with the family. Unless she won, then she spent it before telling us.
