....do you just scratch off the barcode for the store clerk to scan and see if you win?

I don’t play the lottery. I’m too busy earning money with my hedge fund.

I buy one maybe once every couple months when I go grocery shopping.

I like buying them from the vending machine there for some reason.

I'm not an enthusiast, but I occasionally buy them. My boss also hands them out at our company Christmas party.

I once got $5 worth and played on that for about 6 months. That was a couple years ago and I haven't really bought any except for gifts since then.

I was going to start a thread on a similar subject....
bought a couple of tickets at a gas station here in MS and asked the guy.. " do people really not even scratch it off and just go ahead and scan it?"

the guy at the counter said " Yeah a lot of people can't read the cards to figure out it they have won >"

if you're that stupid, you can't match 2 numbers together.... I actually feel sorry for you .

Yankees are all addicted to scratch offs, it’s a site to see up north.
