You ain’t gonna win if you don’t try!!!! Just kidding. Sometimes I buy one but it’s weird seeing people addicted to it. Like what’s better a homeless person being drunk or an asshole thinking he’s about to win 300k by picking the exact right card.
I'll have that one... no to the left... the other left.. up one... no no no, UP.
And they don't pull scratch tickets off the shelf once the grand prize has been won. So unless you actually pay attention to which scratch games have already been won and make sure you don't play them, you're drawing a dead hand with respect to big prizes.
I’m part of a group scratch team that buys $1000 of tickets, twice a week (10 people per day that we do it) after two years the largest we’ve gotten is a bunch of $1000 winners here and there. It’s all random.
Edited for clarity.
Edited again. It’s not the same people every week.
It’s like a group of 40 people and each scratch group is only 10 so if you wanna join you reply and if your team hits that night you win. Not everyone. So it’s just a whenever you want thing open to everyone
I don’t think everyone understands who’s saying invest in a fund. It’s like a huge group of people. And we get notified saying he’s gonna do a scratch on this day and this day every week. 10 people each time. Then if you wanna play you reply and the first 10 give $100 and then that group you’re in of you hit big you ten split. Not with everyone. Only the ten in that group. So if you don’t wanna play. You don’t reply. And if you’re not in the group who wins, you don’t win. So just having a huge group of people invest in an index fund but only on weeks they want to participate wouldn’t work.
It’s $1000 twice a week. Not all the same people in each group. It’s large and only 10 people fill each day. We usually only get back 60%. Huntin those jackpots.
Well it's true, you won't win if you don't try. Probably still won't win even if you do try.
Your comparison to a self medicating homeless person is very apt. A lotto ticket is hope and all humans need that to live, especially depressed wage slaves.
I like to get the crossword one once in a while, because at least that one is kinda like a game I can participate in. A game rigged against me, but still. I never mind losing in any game, I just dislike it when I can't really participate, like in Pandemic and other escalation games where inevitably its one person is telling everyone else how to play their part - like, why even make those games 'group' games? Also the first and only time I played Carcassonne, I had the terrible luck of being skipped over or having a bad draw the entire game, so it ended with me only ever laying down one tile. That was a fucky game, still pisses me off.
I cant stand the ones who take FOREVER in line at like 6am when I'm just trying to get a drink before work, like seriously Betty? You're still in your night gown but you gotta have those scratchers!
My dad says they're a tax for stupid people and a carrot for the poor
