it's pretty annoying waiting behind them in line. especially during the covid circus when we all had to stand 2 meters apart on the lines drawn on the floor for the sake of the very boomers who decided to come into a packed convenience store to load up on scratchers with their masks around their chins. how about instead of trying to force an untested vaccine on the population we just tell the boomers to fucking buy their scratchers online or some shit.

One time my mom had one of these with a $5 prize.
She asked me to take it to the gas station for her to claim the prize and I kind of looked at it contemptuously and said maybe later. She suddenly looked embarrassed and put it away and didn't say anything more about it. Pretty sure it never got redeemed.
That was 5 years ago and she's gone now. For some reason that moment really pulls at my heart. I really wish I had just taken that thing to the station and got her prize. Sorry mom I love you.

when you buy a scratch ticket it gives you the odds on the back of the ticket. like 1 in 80 million chance to win, something like that. when you buy a bitcoin it says on the back "buy now or stay poor faggot". it's an easy choice

[Anonymous No.54583407]

>>54583311
From my experience, and I'm sure you've noticed this, many tickets will tend to win 1 and then space out the losers exactly how the win rate says. 1 win, 4 losers 1 win, 4 losers is how my game of choice lotteria plays and many others default to quite similar. It can be manipulated with higher dollar tickets thay sell slower but the best way is to just buy 1 at a time until you get the next winner and stop.

[Anonymous No.54583484]

>>54583407
Yes this is how I see it too. Though there was ONE SCRATCH GUY that was awesome in my experience. He looked like burt reynolds but with gray hair and sounded like roger from American dad. I enjoyed that guy. He seemed to have extremely good luck with scratches and would joke with him about bankrupting us. He would pick his numbers and go off to the back of the store, never held up line and would throw me a $5 when he won $50 (so basically daily kek)

I talked to him outside of work and asked if scratches was his method of avoiding the casinos, he said yes

Anyways there were a few instances where he would win relatively big on a scratch, buy another in the next row because I'd say something stupid like "I got a good feeling about that number" or "we sold a lot today and they never came back"

Probably the only cool boomer I've had as a customer

[Anonymous No.54583537]

Also fun fact, scratch/lotto profits the store zero unless they win a huge amount. Then the store gets publicity and a few shekels. The only real point of them is to draw people in to buy other shit

But most people that blow hundreds on them never buy anything in the store, so seems kinda pointless. I understand why some Muslim shopkeeps don't carry them as it draws in crackheads

I have a system for FanDuel.
When you’re new, they’ll purposely show you “Hot bets” that have an extremely high chance of hitting, with larger than usual payouts considering the odds. You of course win, get sucked in and lose a bunch of money on bogus bets after that. Well. They do the same thing if you take a long break (a whole season in my case) trying to get you to stick around.

So, massive bet when you start. Hit
Two very small bets. Lose, lose,
Take a good break. Repeat. I’ve made upper 5 figures so far. Taxes are a bitch though.

Now normally I roll my babies the 2 dollar lotteria scratchoff games. Those have a lot of game play and never win much. But on the rare occasion I buy a 20 or 50 dollar ticket I can't stomach all those boxes of failure so I just scan the barcode to rip the bandaid off fast. When you buy a bunch of the generic 1 or 2 dollar tickets it's tedious to check all the boxes so they're for the scanner too.

Wherever you Mom is now, she's free of the roar of the crowd and the constant stress and anxiety over being a social mammal in an antisocial time period. If she was a good Mom, right now she's looking back at her whole life chuckling over how all the big things she was worried about were so small and meaningless after all. If you want to make it up to her, live a good life with pride and dignity (you can do this even as a toothless peasant being conscripted into an army - cleanliness and kindess to children and animals are very cheap) so that when she checks in on you she sees you puttering along in life just fine without her, which will make it easier for her to let go and move on.
