I hate the lousy lottery. I used to work in a store and have people all day clutching at straws by buying a ticket (the same people each week) all hoping for some dough. It's sad. I can picture them sitting there on a Saturday night, the highlight of their weekend being them sat with their grubby little mitts clasped tightly around a piece of paper with numbers on it, hopes raised for a second before being dashed once more.

My main peeve is the flock of old timers that is eternally at the gas station bright and early buying like seventy bucks worth of various types of lottery tickets they seem unfamiliar with despite the fact they're there every freaking day. I've even seen people go scrape together the last of their change to buy tickets for the chance to win money. Funny, no?

Well keep in mind somebody does win it. And you give up 5 dollars get a ticket chance to win millions. For the one who does win it it's a great investment. Imagine buying stock in a company for 5 dollars and coming out a billionaire. That's what the lotto is like.

My dad usually sends me out to buy lottery tickets, like as though tonight will be our night.
He's been asking me for about 5 years now.

My parents will usually spend some leftover money (after paying bills, rent, payments, etc) on some scratch-offs and lottery tickets.
I have no problem with it. It is the same as me buying a game to play with my saved up money. The only difference is that they can win money and I just win achievement points.

Cause you can be smart and kinda know which companies may do good, the lottery aint like that. My mom got 5 numbers on the lottery when I was real young, and I know this sounds like some story, but the last number was like one number off. But I unno if I would wanna win the lottery. Money usually just brings more problems and if Im gonna have all that, be cool to earn it instead of just getting it... |

I used to work at a convenient store, so I dealt with them. Only, in the two months I was there, they never taught me how to run the machine (it was night shift, so it wasn't a big deal), but then every so often, someone would come in and piss and moan about how they couldn't get their ticket. I'd tell them to drive to our rival convenient store.
Anyway, I play every now and again. The cash here in PA goes to the old geezers. I think Delaware's is better as it goes to public schools. I've heard from a few people they're schools there are insanely nice with most having text books no more than five years old, swimming pools and vending machines that dispense caviar and monocles for a half-dime.

I'm ever upper class high society
God's gift to ballroom notoriety
I always fill my ballroom
The event is never small
The social pages say I've got
The biggest balls of all
CHORUS:
I've got big balls
I've got big balls
And they're such big balls
Dirty big balls
And he's got big balls
And she's got big balls
But we've got the biggest balls of them all
And my balls are always bouncing
My ballroom always full
And everybody cums and cums again
If your name is on the guest list
No one can take you higher
Everybody says I've got
Great balls of fire
CHORUS:
I've got big balls
I've got big balls
And they're such big balls
Dirty big balls
And he's got big balls
And she's got big balls
But we've got the biggest balls of them all
Some balls are held for charity
And some for fancy dress
But when they're held for pleasure
They're the balls that I like best
My balls are always bouncing
To the left and to the right
It's my belief that my big balls
Should be held every night
CHORUS:
I've got big balls
I've got big balls
And they're such big balls
Dirty big balls
And he's got big balls
And she's got big balls
But we've got the biggest balls of them all
And I'm just itching to tell you about them
Oh we had such wonderful fun
Seafood cocktail, crabs, crayfish...
Ball sucker

I use loose change to pay for scratch tickets about once a week. Today I won $10.
And since it's loose change from all over my house maybe 25% of it is actually my money being spent.

My other complaint is the amount of games there are. And I always had to ram the new options down people's throats. Funny thing is, they usually took the bait.
I mean look what we have now:
Lotto
Lotto Hotpicks
Thunderball
Dream Number
Daily Play
EuroMillions
Olympic Lottery
Plus the Scratchcards they put out. And old people love this stuff. As if sucking the country dry for years wasn't enough.
