    Default the lottery

    i was thinking today how nice it would be if i ran into a big sum of money, then thought to myself, hey i should go play the lottery today. its been a lonnnnnnnnnng time since, i've played, but i think i might go spend a couple dollars on the lottery today.

    How much have you won playing the lottery? The most I won was about a year ago, 75 bucks off a $3 dollar sratch off.

    I play $2 a week. That's $104.00 a year. I have ALWAYS won more than that annually - (50 here, 20 here, 20 there). So the lottery is actually paying ME to play it. But I only play the big game (Mega). I don't do scratch-offs.

    The lottery is a waste. Put those few dollars you spend on the lottery away and you will have what you're dreaming to win.

    ^^ Yes you can, you just can't win.

    Hmmm... and actually you can WIN too, you just can't redeem the tickets.

    Most of the people who win this stuff don't keep the money for very long. Some lady who works at my buddy's hotel won $25,000 on a scratch off ticket. She's taking it all to Vegas.

    Nice.

    but you do win, the odds are located on the ticket. and 2nd chance drawings on the internet are getting more popular.


    Proof

    and NO I cant give you winning tickets...they are printed randomly so not even we know where the winners are, So players know its not rigged, and also for security reasons

    That, plus she's been paying off people to cover her shifts at the hotel so she can go out and blow MORE money.

    So she's paying to lose out on time she could be earning more money. Brilliant.

    Why does it seem like those types of people are the only winners?

    When I worked at the gas station at the end of my rode I used to find tickets that where winners all the time in the parking lot and in the store while cleaning up. Biggest one I found was $100 on a $5 ticket. Most I've ever won from buying them was like $20-$25 on $1-$5 tickets.

    I've only gambled once...Blackjack. Went in with $100, sunk all the way down to around $30 and then finally came back up to $95. Then I backed out.
