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.

Lotto In the Bronx
This here is the 24 Store. It is conveniently located right next to my bus stop at school where I am often lingering around waiting for the BxM10 bus which is chronically late. Lingering near a store that sells lotto is not great for my budget. On this day I bought 5 dollars worth of tickets. One powerball (lost), one megamillions (lost), and a one dollar scratcher (lost). So far, not good. I even had my friend John bless my tickets with his good luck and.. no dice.
HOWEVER
The next time at the bus stop I bought $6.00 worth of scratchers and my Cashword doubler won $10.00! See below.
I got 5 words: Owe, Myth, Tilt, Hit, and Big
Sometimes Cashwords do win! In this case it helped with my lotto debt a bit. Made up for the impulsive bus stop purchases- for the most part. The candy you see in the background is from a different convenience store where I retrieved my 10 dollars and did not succumb to buying more tickets even though the bodega man was yelling at me to "gamble gamble gamble." Aggressive.
