More tickets. $15 not going to do anything for me, might as well take my chances again.

I'm saying tickets only because $15 isn't a big hit. Have fun with it.

They aren't wrong when they call the lottery a tax on the stupid.

Pretty much.

I used to work with a guy who was pretty heavily addicted to buying scratch tickets. He once won $10,000 on a single ticket.

He was super happy and excited about it but only because his brain seemed to block out the fact that he probably wasted $15,000 in the process.

I used to do pretty well on Keno, but then I went literally over 2 years without playing, so I just eventually stopped playing

My coworker has an uncle who won the $2 Weekly Grand ticket main prize for 20 years he gets $1,000 a week after taxes it's $775ish he's around year 12 or so.

You need to learn how to play smart to make the most of it. We call it hunting stay in a store and wait for someone to buy tickets normally they return back if they win/loose most of the times they just throw it away that's when you buy the next ticket which has a higher chance of having something on it.

Advanced scratch ticket players know that the actual game means jack shit and just run them through the ticket checker immediately after buying them.

Pro scratch ticket players know what expected value means.

That's not bad just keep buying the same scratch off and don't switch, it also helps your chances to win more. If you keep flip flopping your chances of winning are actually lower since you're most likely going to lose already.

You have to go in expecting to lose. That's the risk and then helping your chances by hunting or sticking with the same one.

For example from that ticket roll I won $50 chances are that's how good as it's going to get since the $1 roll has 200 tickets. I would have no reason to buy from that same roll until that roll runs out since chances of winning are even slimmer.

It also helps to stick with one store to have an idea how many are being sold and which ones you have won something decent out off.
