A Dime

What can you buy for a dime? Not a part or half of something, but just a dime.

Me... a stamp

No, the small stamps you add to a letter to make up the difference in the new stamps that come out.

Our stamps are the same as yours.

I once bought an old old old Henry James novella at Half Price Books for 4 dimes... But a single dime? Hmm... Probably a Jolly Rancher at the corner store.

I wish I was this lucky:

Woman's 10-cent bet pays $21,584 at track

SWARTZ CREEK, Mich. (AP) - A Michigan woman's 10-cent bet turned into a small fortune — she won $21,584.

The Michigan woman, whose name was not released by track officials, made the bet Friday at Sports Creek Raceway in Swartz Creek, about 55 miles northwest of Detroit.

She placed two 10-cent Superfecta bets on a race being simulcast from the Hollywood Park track in Inglewood, Calif. The Superfecta requires gamblers to pick the four top-finishing horses in correct order.

"One of them won," Sports Creek general manager Chris Locking told The Detroit News.

She returned to the track Monday to collect her winnings.

"Pretty good return for 10 cents, isn't it?" Locking said.

Many tracks nationwide have introduced such 10-cent wagers to lure more customers, Locking said. "Twenty-thousand doesn't happen every day," he said, "but on a regular basis you'll see people winning $70, $200, $500 on a dime bet."

I'm surprised that you can place such a small wager at a race. Still, good for her! :D
