I wasn’t even supposed to be playing that night.

It was 10:57 p.m., I was in my pyjamas, hair a mess, telling myself, “One quick game, then bed.” Famous last words. I logged into an online slots site and saw my balance: $9.99. I laughed and said out loud, “That’s a sign. Double nines. Destiny.” My cat blinked at me like I was already making bad decisions.

I picked a random slot. Nothing flashy. I spun 99 cents because, for some reason, that felt poetic. The first few spins were trash. Five spins in, I was down to $5.04 and already negotiating with the universe like, “Listen… I don’t need a jackpot. I just want to go to bed feeling like a winner.”

Spin number 9 hit a small bonus. My balance jumped back to £9.99 exactly.

I froze.

Same amount. Same numbers. Same nonsense.

“Okay,” I said, sitting up straight. “Now you’re just being creepy.”

So I spun again. 99 cents. Again. Nothing. Again. Nothing. By the time I reached spin 99, I was fully emotionally invested like I was watching the final of a football match. My balance at that moment?

$0.99.

One last spin. My finger hovered over the button like I was defusing a bomb.

I hit it.

Free spins triggered. Out of nowhere. My laptop fan kicked on like it was preparing for lift-off. I won $9.99 from the first tumble. Then $19.98. Then $101.00 slapped onto the screen like the slot was yelling at me.

Final balance: $128.99.

I stared at it in silence for a full ten seconds. Then I did what any mature adult would do.

I whispered, “Nice.”
And immediately took a screenshot like it was evidence for court.

The next morning I showed my friend and said, dead serious, “If I ever disappear, follow the number 99.”

To this day, every time I see 99, I smile… and absolutely refuse to spin 99 again, because I know I’ll chase the magic like an idiot.

Some numbers just mess with your head.

And yes — I went to bed a winner.
At 11:59 p.m.

Because of course I did.

I like a few of them but if i have to pick i will pick 33 reason why is because i was 33 when i meet dean and we are still going strong. Love him. 3's are just a lucky number for me and they are fun to write.

Ever since I started playing at the casino, I have always bet on the number 11. My first bet at the casino was on roulette, number 11, on my mother's birthday, and it was the 11th of many years ago. I won and continued to bet that number
