You live in a state where you can charge, or write a check for lottery tickets?
Not here.. Straight up cash, or nothing,
I never tried using a credit card or check to buy them but I doubt you can do that here. I really don't put that much thought into spending 10.00. Of course it has occured to me that the Ohio lottery is a big fat scam still, somebody wins everyday. I even win occasionally.
There's a casino bill on the ballot this time, lots of ads pro and con. I hope we get them, it would just be one more fun thing to do.
Oddly enough, I lived in Nevada for eight years. I've been in and out of just about every major casino in the state, and truthfully, I dislike gambling. I don't like the amount of time it requires, and I never seem to win. I played video poker for years and never, EVER hit a Royal Flush. I was sitting in the Silver Baron bar in the Silver Legacy in Reno with a friend, who NEVER GAMBLES. He uncharacteristically put $5 in one of the dollar machines built into the bar in front of us and ten or so hands later hit a Spade Royal Flush... an instant progressive win. It was around $1,500.00. I could have blown the joint up, and probably why I don't like to gamble. Another time I was in line at the Stardust casino in Vegas with family waiting to go in and watch the show Lido De Paris. As my mother passed by this machine she slipped a few quarters in it and with one pull hit all 7's... JACKPOT! THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED TO ME, AND I LIVED THERE FOR YEARS! Yes, no doubt the reason why I truly dislike gambling, in the "go to the casino and gamble" sense.
I play video poker as well. My friend goes to Detroit maybe once a month and plays the video poker machines where there are different games on the same machine. She was showing me how to win on them and I swear to God, she was winning 700.00 many times.
I won about 1000.00 and got scared and took everything out.. Some people just know how to do it.
I won in Vegas once. Royal flush at the Flamingo. It made the rest of my week a lot of fun there. My mom was a gambler, her motto, desperate money never wins.. Don't spend what you can't afford to lose or if you get mad about losing..
