Dude it was depressing stopping off at the beer store on the way home from work for a 6pack so I could kick it and relax on the couch...

...and there'd be a group of blue collars going there to cash their weekly paychecks, buy a couple 40s and $50 worth of scratchers. They'd win $10, and buy $10 more worth of scratchers. They'd win a TICKET, get another and win nothing, then complain that they were "so close" to winning 10-grand.

Work at a rutters. had multiple guys who were serious come in with like 20 $1 and 5 $20 every other day. We had one guy who'd buy $100-$200 every visit (up to 3 times a day). Must've been in his 50s but he said his wife didn't know. Scratch offs scare me now I've only ever seen one $1500 win but I'd only work part time so.

Am I reading that right that they'd spend upwards of $600 in a single day on a scratch-its?? Holy shit.

As far as I know, I would get told he already visited by people in 1st shift and he'd come in like 6 and spent $100-$200 then come back an hour later
