I got into the habit recently of picking up tickets off of the ground, checking to see if they are winners, and then throwing them away in a more socially appropriate place (like a trash can). I figured it was a community-centered thing to do, and had potential for rewards.
After many months of doing this, I finally found one that was a winner! However it turns out that I was the one who'd dropped it in the first place...
last time i picked one up it was worth $20.
i buy scratchies now and then, like i occasionally buy a mega zillions ticket if the pot goes over $100 million.
nevertheless winning $20 on a scratchy i didn't pay for kicked off a pretty magical weekend. | |
