Blank Tickets
I've become addicted - I'm buying scratch off lottery tickets. Salmon, dream, blues, even 3 pieces of centenary for 5 AU$ each, etc. This year I have spent about 90 AU$ on it, but won 4 AUD. Conclusion one - either I'm a total loser who, like a magnet, attracts blank tickets, or something is wrong with tickets, or ticket offices. Sometimes I go to New Zealand and buy there. I bought 9 AU$ and recovered 7 AUD. Also when talking to other people - no one knows a person who has won something more than 2 dollars, and apparently those tickets are rarely bought - some buy and stop without winning - not like me. Sometimes you can read on news portals that a pensioner from Wollongong or a farmer from Preili region has won a larger amount - but I don't know if it is true. It's games - bingo, etc. that are shown on TV - there yes - real people are showing and have heard that something wins. But with that scratching both mysticism. It is probably rightly called a fool's tax. There are several thoughts: 1. You can put as many winnings as you want in the tickets - but no one can control it. 2. Tickets are produced somewhere, and they are fully ticked at 3 points of sale with a super laser that looks at what is under the color layer and the right tickets are removed. 4 are people like me who have a magnet in their hands that only attracts blank tickets. I would like to hear other people's thoughts - maybe I'm wrong, and when I buy tickets in that amount, I will one day win something? But maybe throw aside their wasteful spending?
