So Close to Winning

For the last few weeks or so Lexie has been entering drawings at Wendy's and Papa Murphy's for a chance to win Justin Bieber concert tickets. Friday Hot 98.9 called and told us that Lexie was a top qualifier for tickets to Justin's concert in Portland. She was told to be at Sherm's Thunderbird Saturday a 12:45 for a chance to win. Yesterday we went to Sherm's and it was crowded with Justin Bieber fans. Lexie got a ticket and put it in the qualifiers box. Her chances of winning looked pretty slim because there was three pages of girls names who qualified. They told us that we needed to be back at 2:30 for the drawing. I took Lexie and my other girls to get some lunch and then we returned to the madness at Sherm's. Lexie won a kids meal at Wendy's while we were waiting and waited for her number to be called for concert tickets. They narrowed it down to a final ten and started by drawing the first group of five and Lexie's ticket number wasn't called. She was upset that the girl who won the concert tickets didn't seem too happy to have them. They soon started calling the next group of five. Lexie's ticket number was called and she was so excited. They gave each person in the group a balloon with a gift inside and only one balloon had the concert tickets inside. They all popped their balloons and the gift Lexie got wasn't what she was hoping for....it was a gift certificate to Papa Murphy's. Lexie didn't win, but she came really close. Lexie still gets to go see Justin Bieber in Concert on the 5th June and sit on row 14 so she's happy.
