Gotta share this!!

I have a son who was wounded in IRAQ 6 years ago and is not in a good place. He is on permanent disability and on social security for life due to the injuries. He spends more time in hospitals than out. His wife left him, etc. His life is a bad country western song.....but we will get him thru this!
Anyway, I took him to Foxwoods last Saturday with $30 to try to give him a mental health day and he managed to make his small bank roll last way longer than I could have. He just enjoys walking around people watching and hoping and praying to the roulette gods.
At the end of the day trip he noticed a "free' football contest in the Rainmaker casino. You slide your rewards card, and all football game for this week pop up, you pick which teams you think will win, and then pick total points for Monday night football as a tie breaker.
On the Foxwoods website, it says last weeks winner managed to get 13 picks right and won $5,000! As of last night, my son has won 15 games!!! The total points of the game last night(which was his only loss) was 61 points and my son went with 55 points.
Foxwoods has NOT up dated there web site yet this morning and we are still hoping! wish us luck! one way or another, that free contest has given him (and me frankly) a "positive" escape from life for the last two days. God I hope he wins, not so much for the money but the bragging rights he will have. He will be talking about this week for months!

Please thank your son for me for his service to our country, and may God Bless Him.

I do hope he wins that football contest, as that would be a wicked cool thing for him to do.

Please keep us updated.

What Rick said and here's to hoping llike heck he WINS the contest! What an awesome thing that would be

Fingers crossed for your son, Weggie.
Sounds like he deserves some good luck. Hope he takes the big prize!
Still refreshing over and over. I called Foxwoods and no one knows who one yet.......the suspense is brutal!
"Best Wishes... and please thank him for his service".
