About the BLOG

I really like scratch tickets... (especially cashwords)

I wouldn't go so far to say that I have a gambling problem, however, I also wonder how much money I willingly hand over to the New York lottery. I lose pretty often...but I have also had some pretty good wins. I wonder if it evens out. I was wondering this recently and my friends Lizzy and Allan suggested that I start a blog that tracks my wins/losses to find the truth. So that is what this blog will be all about. Stories about tickets, how I got them, successes and losses, etc etc etc.

A non traditional cashword

I bought this ticket at the same time as the previous one, also for two dollars. I got really mad when I lost so I ripped it up. So today I lost $4.00 in total. These ones always seem to lose but I keep going back to them because of the one time I won $40.00 on this brand of ticket. That's the thing about gambling. The wins always keep you coming back for more. The other day I won $20.00 on a ticket in Connecticut (bought it for $3.00...cashwords more expensive in CT) and now I'm on a bit of a rampage. I should probably take a break. I've been losing pretty bad in NYC recently.

On average I probably buy anywhere from 2-10 dollars worth of tickets per week. Usually happens when I have cash on hand which is often given that I am a waitress. When I spend any more than that I feel like a total idiot...unless I win. So I rationalize it.

    the lottery is such a beast that it would survive a category 500 hurricane
