@tntpoof That's some luck you've got there bro! Congrats!! I refuse to even buy the damned things, the house always wins when I play. They tax when we earn, spend, sell and even win..nah, I'm good. Enjoy!!

My luck, not playing, has only been very slightly worse than when I did.

I'm glad you have such good luck, it does make it a lot more fun to play.

No one makes money long term playing scratch off lotto tickets. Even if he has won some money lately, over his lifetime he's in way more than he's won. This is true of any type of gambling where the house is guaranteed to win and players have a history of playing. Even if he did win $100,000+ hes the exception to rule and its foolish to chase lotto winnings as the overwhelming majority of people will never win long term.

My luck does not extend to gambling so I just don't do it anymore. I used to buy scratchies often but never won anything worth bragging about. Even in casino's I walk out with empty pockets. Just not my thing I guess.

actually I'm Up in my winning to payouts .And its the fun of it.. this hobby we are all here for is a Giant pitfall .You will never get what your Original purchase was in RC .Sure there are some OLD Models that have a Good resale but not many.
I made My money by working 40 Years
and buying and flipping 12 Houses in the later 90's
also a few other things .

That in no way negates what I said. My point was that only 1 in a million people may actually come out ahead. The other 999,999 people do nothing but feed the system. Its a foolish endeavor. Yes RCs are a money pit but at least we have something to show for all the money weve spent.

so I will add up all my buying in lotto games
thats < 67000$ .i have 40years of buying with a grand total of $657.200 + my new 100.000 total. sure my luck is way better than others but its all fun to me almost a 10/1 odd
sums
20$
a week for 40 years + my every 10 day drive where I spend 100$
the system has to eat to pay me..lol
