I won the lottery... Sorta.

Sign in to disble this ad
Well... first let me say I have an addiction to lottery scratch cards. This past spring I wasted $1000 on them, and recently I won back the thousand over a period of two weeks. I was feeling lucky on my birthday yesterday though and bought a couple $5 scratchcards. First one was a loser. Second one was this:




Soooo what should I do with the winnings? Any suggestions? I am now +$1000 in terms of gains/losses from the lottery, and am planning on quitting while I'm ahead.

Holy... Every number was a winner. You should definitely quit, you've just used up all your luck.

Oh yeah, hookers and blow

Leave the lottery and don't return its calls. Buy yourself a nice bass – or half a motorcycle. Something fun

That card was obviously printed by a disgruntled employee.

Just think, because you played the lottery, somewhere a page of a child's school textbook got printed, somewhere else, a pothole got filled.

The rest of your lotto gambling money went to some guy uptown sitting in a leather chair.

I used to work with a woman who won 10k twice. The most I've ever won is $20, though I don't play often enough.
