A contractor I work with won $100,000 on a $5 scratch off. Uncle Sam took $40,000. He buys them each week. Spends about $40. I saw him at the beer store last month with a big smile filling out paperwork. He had just won $2500. 10 min later he was buying more scratch offs before he left. I said they have you hooked. He responded you have to play if you want to win! The only positive thing is he said he puts all winnings in a separate bank acct he has for his kids college.

I buy scratch offs to give out at the holidays. I normally buy about $150 worth. The winners usually add up to about what I spend sometimes more/ sometimes less. Someone almost always wins $50 on a $20 ticket. It’s sad that some people are addicted to gambling but like most things in moderation they are OK!

Of course he doesn’t, that would be illegal!
I’ve got a few 5cent slot machines. Lots of fun.
I have a few cups of Indian head nickels for guests to use in them.

I agree! I haven’t been to Vegas in about 12 years but when I visited I always enjoyed playing that specific machine. I would spend about $40 a night on the 25 cent model. My girlfriend won $150 on one. With that win she broke even on what she lost over a 4 day weekend trip.
