They are all trashy but the ones that actually have a strategy for picking the right scratch offs are the trashiest of the trashy.

I’ve never seen someone who looks well off buy a scratch off ticket.

Only time we get lottery tickets is at Christmas.

Well but then for the whole family so everyone gets some excitement from it.

Annoying? Yes, but it’s the only way these people put back into the system, so I’m happy to see them cash in their ebt cards and give it all back.

There is a scratch off lottery ticket vending machine at the grocery store by me. You can buy powerball and mega million tickets from it as well.

You know good and well, we can't have nice things like this in LA. How does it handle carding people exactly?

It’s right next to the customer service counter at the grocery store.

Here’s a thought. But a case of your mango Bai shite and put it in your fridge at your house.

I just shake my head at the folks doing retirement planning at the convenience store counter.

I work out in the field, so I’m a frequent convenience store customer. Never fails: If I’m in a hurry, some douche will be holding up the line while he ponders the odds of #2 vs #4.

But, the best is when they’re cashing in their winnings. And they “reinvest” it all into more fricking lottery tickets.

It’s only trashy when they lose.

I quit going inside and buying anything at a gas station because of lottery tickets and tobacco.

Lottery vending machines are the best thing ever. No more waiting behind the scratch off pros that spend $100 to win $5.

Ya gotta love the people that hit for the trashy gas station cycle...

Give me 3 #2's, some Malboro lights, and half gallon fountain mountain dew at 7:30 am.

Scratchers themselves aren't trashy but the people that buy them are normally chain smokers who hang out at the 7-11 hopped up on amphetamines looking to pass the time fidgeting with the tickets and hoping for a score of $20.

They are a notch below regular lottery ticket buyers on the intellectual food chain. The physical act of scratching itself feeds the nervous twitches of tweakers and meth addicts.

I buy a $10 scratch off every now and then.. If I win $20 off of it I will put in in the visor and wait a few days until I am at another store and redeem it for 2 $10 tickets. Lose on one and win a ticket on the other. Etc etc. until I either lose my original $10 or win something decent. I can play one ticket out over a week or longer.

I did this last week. Bought a $10 and won a ticket. Went to a different store 2 days later and redeemed ticket for another $10 ticket. Won $15 on that one and went back in and bought 3 $5 tickets. Lost on 2 but won $10 on the 3rd. Put in visor and redeemed for 2 more $5s next day. Lost one and won $100 on the other. Redeemed in store for cash and quit game cycle.

Will start new play when I damn well feel froggy. If i lose out of the gate on the initial ticket, I throw it away and wait a few weeks because the ju ju was bad. Most I have ever won was $500. You have to play the long game. It just needs to be fun and not an addiction. I also get disgusted at the poors who are so desperate that they buy and scratch at the counter.

I see this all the time on my commute to Orlando. Always see a handful of people at 7am walking along the road god knows where with a heater, a big gulp and a handful of scratch offs. They look to be 80 pounds, really weathered, methed out and homeless. Thank god they're not in Kissimmee.

They're usually in neighborhoods where people are always throwing away stained mattresses and sofas.

“I’ll take three #2’s, one #7, five #2’s...I need to buy a cashier’s check for $750.00, $42.71, and $64.73. And I need to cash a check and give me a pack of Swisher Grape flavor.”
