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.

Hangovers = poor impulse control

Really not feeling so hot this morning. Made it to brunch with Dan and the two mimosas didn't have the effect I was hoping for. Instead, in a boozy haze I ended up at that street stand that I blogged about previously. There were two nice ladies ahead of me turning in their winning scratchers and obviously buying more with the winnings helloooo addiction. The lady before me bought a "take 5" quick pick for tonight and one for tomorrow night. I copied her and did the same. Might as well try out a different form of lotto. Couldn't dig in without buying an exorbitant amount of cashwords, however. Went for the $10.00 ticket as well as 2 $5.00 tickets and a $2.00 ticket. That's 24 dollars in total in case your wondering (including those quick picks which I intend on winning). Good news! I didn't lose every single ticket which seems to be the trend since I started the blog. I won $10.00 on one of the $5.00 tickets and my money back on the $2.00 one. That is a grand total of $12.00. So I won half of my money back. Not so great, but better than losing $24.00. I will be back to report that I won the quick pick, you just wait and see.
