The only exceptions were one day when I used The Pony's accumulated winnings from his daily Cash4Life draw tickets, to buy him a $50 ticket that he requested out of the blue. My lucky bone was functioning that day! He won $100 on it. And four or five days later, I won $70, hitting $50 on a $10 ticket, and $20 on a $5 ticket. But lately, the only thing that pays are my $3 tickets.
Of course I keep buying them! What kind of a gambler do you think I am, anyway? A smart one? Au contraire. I keep funneling that money right back into the gaping maw that devours my weekly allowance and casino bankroll. Every day, I'm sure I'll be a winner...
Because, you know, a losing streak can't last forever. Just like a winning streak.
Of course a losing streak can last forever! Look at mine, still losing strongly after decades.
ReplyDeleteThat's apples and oranges, a horse of a different color. If I remember correctly, you mainly play the draw tickets. The odds on them are astronomical compared to the scratchers I play, which have odds of 1 in 4 for winning at least money back.
DeleteIn other news, today I won $25 on a $5 crossword ticket. So I consider the long losing streak over with this success!
Fair point and congratulations.
