I sell these goddamn things all day and it makes me sad to see people spend twenty dollars, win ten bucks, take the bait and then go right back and spend another twenty then bust and spend even more.

But I guess it beats being fleeced by the Indian casino. I guess.

My first thought was "why's it gotta  be an Indian casino? In Nevada all kinds of casinos are legal." Then I thought maybe you were talking about your particular region, but then I remembered that I learned from an episode of king of the hill that Indian casinos are illegal in Texas. but then I realized that that episode is pretty damn old and many Texas changed the laws on Indian gaming in the interim.

so... what's the deal?

I live thirty miles from the Oklahoma border, and there's a casino about thirty minutes away. There's an even bigger one about an hour away. There's one bigger than that about two hours away.

I've received scratch-offs as a stocking stuffer a couple times though I never expressed interest in them. I think I won a dollar on one of them and never cashed it in.

I'll buy a lottery ticket every now and then vainly hoping I might score a quick but, though it's mostly to remind myself that shit's fucking designed specifically to part fools with their money.

But maybe the next one will be the lucky one! Can't win if ya don't play!

Also, getting back to the gift thing, I had some woman come into my store asking to buy $1000 worth of tickets, all in the $1-2 dollar range, presumably for gifts. We sold her about $370 worth until we were out, and then she looked at us like she didn't believe us when we said we were out, even though we pulled all the rolls out and counted them in front of her. Hmmm...
