I was in line at a convenience store tonight. A gentleman in front of me was buying some Mad Dog 20/20 and two $10 lottery tickets. He said, “The next damn ticket is the winner!” I said I’d buy the next one and split it with him if he’d split his two with me. “DEAL,” he said. We scratched $30 dollars worth of lottery tickets and didn’t win chit.

You can’t trust anyone anymore.

That’s the first scratch off I’ve bought since they came out when I was in high school. I think I’ll buy another in 30 years.

That’s good stuff!

He should have at least split the mad dog with you.

I quit buying them when the quit giving all these millions to the schools

I've been known to throw a $20 bill at the Texas Lotto

I call it my $20 day dream.

The ultimate sucker deals.

The only tickets I’ve bought in years are the ones right after my buddy buys to antagonize him😁.

$23,000mahead on the ottery. Never bought a ticket.

Bought one first day was legal in TX. Bought less than 10 over the years since then.
Don't be pissed at your finanical advisor. You got one over on him 3:1. You spent $10 for a $30 look....

Wisdom. 'Never bought one. Tax on the poorest.

What do you mean? 300,000,000:1 odds seem pretty good. In fact, I think I'll go buy me a few more and pick up a quart of Colt 45 while I'm there.

When the BIG bucks are there, I blow $20. Don’t remember even winning anything but, sooner or later……

Silliness by some here. Name one other way you have a chance, albeit a minuscule chance, to change your life and the life of your family…for a lousy $2?

I can think of a couple $2 chance ways that could change your life and the life of your family...

Think I won $11 once and $3 a couple times. not going to win it but like I said I like to think what I would do if I won it.

A game for chumps.

Everyone hopes the lottery will change their lives, it usually just makes money disappear from your wallet.

I buy a few for kids at Christmas. Never bought a scratch off for myself.

Won 18G about 20 yrs ago on a scratch off.

Gas stations should have a separate line for scratch off buyers and a line for the rest of us. I probably pay at the pump over 90% of the time and don't go inside.

Every time I have my annual hunt with my close buddies in STX, I buy a $5 scratch off for each guy there. First time, a buddy won $80. He gave me back my initial $30 I put in for all of us, and he spent $50 on more tickets. Ended up winning $250 all combined and it paid for all our food and drinks for the weekend. Since then, we keep the tradition up, but just once a year.

Every now and then I'll buy a couple to throw in the stockings at Christmas for the fam.

I would have held out for a forty ouncer.
