Yeah worked at a gas station for a couple years where we sold these scratch off tickets. If you think the regular lottery is a tax on idiots, the scratchers are on a whole other level. I watched countless people come in, buy $100 worth of tickets, scratch them off at the counter (so fucking obnoxious) and then cash in the winners. Usually like $7 worth. And 3 free tickets. Some guys were addicted and would come in and examine each different game and ask me which I thought would “getting ready to hit”. It’s sad really.

Well ya, I buy a lottery ticket every few weeks, but the chances are so low it's not even worth talking about or fantasising over. I do think not buying a lottery ticket every once in a while is the wrong play, because they're so cheap, but on the flipside, there's no one dumber than the boomers who spend their whole pay cheques on lottery tickets. Every once in awhile you'll hear about some Stanford phd students who figure out a flaw in a small local lottery or something, and cash in, but this is the exception not the norm

Sitting there all day printing off lotto tickets would be more enjoyable than actually doing cashier work and dealing with customers. You'd be doing them a favor, but only do it in the middle of the night or during the day when there's 2 cashier's.

I used to work at a gas station as a teenager, and I would havefucking loved it if someone came in and said "I'd like 1000 lottery tickets with 100 lines on each". Pushing a button is way better than talking to customers, having to "upsell", having to tell people they can't smoke at the pump, watching the car wash cameras, etc

It used to be easier to win lotteries and the jackpots were big relative to the odds, but now they've reduced the default jackpot size and made it much more difficult to get the winning numbers. It's one of those signs that the gov't is having financial problems despite whatever bullshit metrics they're showing to the public.
