Ohh yeah. I played scratch off tickets for a month. Because I bought one for the first time in a while and won $20 on it. So I decided that I would buy some here and there and track it on excel. Graphed the +/- and everything. tracked the ticket numbers too. I said I would stop once I reached 0$ again, working off the $20 I started with. I have the sheet up now. Graph went right up, to max of +26$, then kept sinking… and went to 0$, and I kept going like an idiot… ended at -$25! LOL 43 tickets later.
these were all bought from the local news stand in the building. Look at the Cash Doubler, I bought #68, and it went all the way to #236 in that months time! Thats 168 tickets sold in just that game in a month!
Lotto is the biggest waste of money and time I can think of, other than attempting to jerk off with no arms, then buying a fat ugly hooker.
Now compound that over a year! or 20 years in a career you get in a habit of doing this same thing every day!
