Scratchers!

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.

In UK we have some cool ones, they are kinda fun, but i dont do them.

Prizes go up to £1mil on the £5 ones.

u know whats funny is that when i was 17 i used to buy scratchers from a 7-11 near my moms house when i lived thee and one night i went in and bought $20 worth of $1 scratchers and won on the 1st one i did i won $500 and the last one i did i won another $500. well knowing that i couldnt cash them in i got a friend of mine to do it and and i blew all the money on a trip to yosemite. damn i wish i had that luck now.

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
