Do you still buy Lottery Tickets?

[jumpingjackflash]

Another couple of store employee have been caught stealing someones lottery ticket and running off with the 12.5 million.



I stopped buying tickets a couple of years ago. Curious how many here still buy into the dream?

'CBC's The Fifth Estate profiled the case of Kathleen Chung, who cashed the winning ticket at her brother's convenience store in Burlington back in early 2004.'


I remember when the initial allegations were being broadcast and thinking it was only a matter of time before the law closed in on this family. Her interview was dumb but that of the then OLG chairman was dumber. There's a movie title there somewhere.

The Chairman was being an absolute twit as was the OLG's head investigator.

Lottery ticket are not high bon my list of things to buy. 14 million to 1 is a bit of a long shot for me.

And yes I do. Always scan for yourself and watch the cashiers screen!:roll:

(Or in New York, have then show you the print out. Bet fraud is MASSIVE there. They havent created the safeguards like Ontario)

Pick a colour!

:shock:

I would like to pull the red one out with no hands :great:

 

[jiggyjiggy]

I agree with Bear, Ontario now has many safe guards now unlike when this devious family pulled the switcharoo so YES I play all the time. When I win my first million I am buying a session for everyone!!

*note*
Kleenex are still 3 bucks a pull regardless if I win a million or not!!

Someone in the Gas Bar the other day summed it up perfectly:

Lottery tickets are a tax on the stupid....

It took me a second or two looking at CG's pic to figure out wtf it was lol......

I was like "wtf IS that.................oh.....duh" lol......

Amber reminds me of an old joke about a waitress who could pick up her tip off the table without using her hands....
