Quoted from fosaisu:That's some efficient scratching you did there! Not your first time I take it.
He scratches the same way I do. I first scratch off all "MY" numbers and then one by one, scratch a "WINNING" number to see if there is a match.
*IF* there is a match, I then scratch the prize amount and hope to at least win back the cost of the ticket.
When there is no matching number, I pick one of my losing numbers to see what I "could have" won.
That really makes it a dream tax.
