The Lottery

I have won off and on on scratch tickets up to a couple grand and a few 100-500 pots in the lottery drawings.  Whenever there is a big jackpot i go to a place that is further away because it always seems like when they release the name it is someone who was traveling through and not from there who wins....may as well be me :)

 

I do have theory on scratch tickets that has worked pretty well for me though on the few times i get some.  I will pick one type and get 20-50 worth.  Whatever i win i keep putting back into that same game until i get the prize i want or go broke.  My theory is that unlike drawing games, there are only a finite numb of scratch tickets played and the more i can play the same ticket and the same game the better my odds get with each scratch.

 

It always baffles me why people would go in and get 5 different games, it only lessens your chances.

No streak , other than a loosing streak , I usually get 5 dollars worth of mega millions a week or at least when I can , I know if I ever did hit the big one I would be visiting a lot of water , and hopefully fish with some of you guys , it wont change the way I am , but it would change what I do , I would still get that Z-9 loaded rather than say a loaded different brand , but most of my time would be spent helping others , like children with cancer , our vets etc...

Four score and six years ago, someone gambled.  Today there is gratitude.

So do you have a clue what the motivation is behind these zombies?  It's very odd.

That's a decent representation as to what I look and especially feel like about a week or so before open water each spring . . .

New members, spammers, bad thread sort options, Google searches, genuine interest in an older topic, are a few explanations.

It's a generic statement that could be posted to just about any thread on any forum so that tells me it's a bot of some sort.  But why?  Maybe they are just testing to see if their bots can create an account and make a post on as many different forums as possible.  Then they will used that knowledge to spam those forums later?  

 

Maybe I'm wrong and someone was truly moved by stories of American scratch off tickets.
