Scratchers!

I used to work in a liquor store that sold scratch offs in Maryland. The odds were twice as good as they are here in NY, but I still usually spent my entire days pay on that **** and Keno.

I hate scratchoffs. :(

Ouch! TerpZ you got sick with it didn't ya? I can see why you hate them.

Won $50 on my first $1 scratchoff there. Chased that **** until they banned me from playing any more one day because the lotto count was low after I had played.

Then I moved to keno! Probably did better in that though.

Lottery scrath cards are a tax on the idiotic....

Spend $1 - odds of winning anything = bad.

eh, the odds on the MD lotto weren't horrible. 1:2.9 or so on the $10 dollar ones, 1:3.5 on the $5 and 1:4 on the $1

Beats the 1:92530978 in New York.

We have $1,$2,$3, and $5 tickets in the scratchers and each denomination has several different games and each game has different odds of winning a dollar amount vs. a free ticket. For example one $1 game ticket has the the odds of 1:4.5 for any prize and the odds of 1:7.5 for a money prize. And each game varies along with the largest amount that can be won in the game.

I don't think we have $10 tickets. Do we Ringo?

yeah, every game differs but usually the denominations are pretty similar in payouts. We had 1,2,3,5,10,20,30 in Maryland. Never went above the 10s though.

One of the guys that worked at the place before me once hit a grand a week for life. He went up to the manager and was like uhh... look at this for me.

He never came back.

Don't buy them then! I never win enough to get rich with them but for the most part I do relatively decent. Out of the last three I scratched I won on all of them. $7.00, $10.00, and $25.00. All different games and all but the $25.00 winning ticket were bought for me.

Nonetheless I don't consider it a tax as I am helping the schools in Calif. lol
