A guy at work and I put 20 bucks each in on scratch offs and played wherever we had a route together. Probably twice a week. Played for 6+ months. Sometimes up sometimes down a bit. Finally hit $480 the week of my bachelor party and cashed out. That was just over three years ago and I haven't played since.
It was fun to see how long we could keep going. We only played newer games and didnt spend all we had, just a card or two each to kill time on lunch. Good times
Life sure is tough when you don't learn from the mistakes of others.

A guy at work and I put 20 bucks each in on scratch offs and played wherever we had a route together. A little more than fifteen years ago we did a lot of masonry work for a gal who hit Powerball in the vicinity of 100 million dollars. As I recall it, she was in the habit of getting into an office pool with her co-workers to buy tickets. She happened to buy one on the side and it was that ticket that won. Her co-workers sued her for a share of the winnings but she prevailed in court and kept the winnings. She went on something of a building spree putting up houses for relatives and we did the masonry work in them. Nice people her and her husband.

Well 37 years ago I won $1,374 on the Maryland state lottery and then 8 months later I won $660 to. Back then the ticket were only $1 each, when they changed it to $2 each is when I quit play the MD. lottery. Now and only when the mega millions or the powerball gets over $100 millions I will play that week. I figure that if I'm going to play the lottery I only want to play if it's going to be enough to retire on with some of my closest friends that I will help to retire to. I won't want to make any new friends because they probably won't be able to be trusted.

I guess you got to draw the line somewhere, eh?
