Amen EAB! They never want to step to the side to scratch. Once they see they have lost, they want to immidiately purchase another ticket or fix, I will make comments like, I hear a lady up at Century won $10,000.00 on a scratchy yesterday. These people are truly tragic. I feel lottery and scratchies should have a designated check out line, at the sad cafe.

429SCJ said…”I hate to get in line behind a lottery fiend, they slow the check out line to a halt. I would like to see Russian roulette replace lottery, unclog those lines.”

I said…(laughs) Now *that’s* funny! I agree. One of the banes of the convience store these days is folks holding up the show while they “scratch”, seemingly convinced that they are about to find financial independence. It would appear that their retirement plan requires the participation of everyone else in line.

Amen Disappointed, for some reason I seem to make a lot of fuel stops. I think the state should publish, an annual report of lottery fund expendetures. The citizens have a right to know, where the money is going.

Yep, lottery money should be going up somewhere because the state keeps gutting the Bright Futures college scholarship program!

As for 429SCJ, you’re spending way too much time at the Tom Thumb!
