I guess I'm just not lucky like that - IIRC my biggest hit has been a couple of $500 scratch ticktes
I looked like the Tin man!
No way I was using zylone to get clean.

smurf foot!!!
I think the trick with scratch tickets is buy 5 of the same at a time usually break even at least.
Nice color though.........Sun Paint.
Now I have to paint the other sandal the same!

of course it goes without saying... BAD idea.. for most people playing the lottery is simply paying a voluntary tax..

like going to a casino - never EVER take more than you can afford to lose
i usually spend 5-10 tops when i actually play. Most of the time i get scratch offs, its because of christmas or birthdays(the inlaws buy a ton of them as stocking stuffers for xmas), so personally, I'm usually coming out ahead lol
Story time, I used to work security on 3rd shift, one night i went to the local speedway gas station to fill up our patrol car. I went inside to grab a polar pop and stood behind a lady in line who no joke, dropped over 600 bucks on scratch off tickets when she got up to the register. it took her forever to call out what tickets she wanted. No idea if she won anything
The top screw that adjusts the paint flow blew out, dam thing cracked, be carefull with yours in the future. I actually wished I had the full bunny suit on!

Hey bartender!
I'm good enough at math to know how unlikely it is.... but the payoff if you did get lucky is worth it. i drop one dollar on a quick pick every Wed and Sat. $104 per year is cheap way to dream..
I have to find a halfway decent old school gun today, prob at HD seems to have one like my other primer gun. I cant find the piece I need for that need little Steve to make one on his lathe.

What really sucks...I told a friend what happened and he said, wish he knew I was using HF. Would have loaned me a better gun...The top screw that adjusts the paint flow blew out, dam thing cracked, be carefull with yours in the future. I actually wished I had the full bunny suit on!
This can be a distrib the gut wants, have to know the numbers he wants though do not need any more cores.
