"There are just so many ways this will fail - disruption of business, safety issues, not to mention those people who come in and are unable to resolve their tax issues for very good reasons given the state of the economy, and will almost certainly know the person they are talking to is, well, a millionaire."

Good point, but not sure if they are working directly with the public that way or just behind the scenes?  I know I wouldn't be comforable working with the public in regards to money issues if I was worth millions!

Wow, $5.

               I've done that before, didn't work for me though!(lol) Such a nice investment.

               Well, maybe next time. Thanks for the info. Jake! Good Luck!

Yes, I visited that website. I would definitely give that game a go! I don't play scratcher games normally, but there are quite a few nice prizes in that blockbuster game. In California, the best we have is instant millionaire with 15 1st tier prizes! You'd think with this large a population you'd have a much better shot at a sizeable win. With a much smaller pop. like Mass. you have Blockbuster, Win for life, and and $800 Mil. spectacular. Makes me wonder what's going on in Sacramento!!

Mass has got the right idea!  Good Luck!

                                                                   Ed. 

I visited Cali's scratcher site also, and I counted 78 games running concurrently. Most of which do not yield sizeable enough wins to justify playing, at least not for me.

To me, it seems this is the way the big wigs in Sacramento address such a large pop.

Sort of like going to a supermarket, cruising down an aisle and seeing all the beautiful packaging, wonderful colors and oh so many choices including "New and Improved".

I would much prefer maybe 10 or 15 games total yielding sizeable prizes, starting at $1 all the way to $20. That's why I won't play these games, everyone has to be a sucker!!!

I don't know how many scratcher games run at the same time in other states, but California's ideas are sickening. The central theme being  Taxation, without much effort to hide it!! 

All I can do is not play!!  Even when I "WIN, I haven't really. I'm tired of losing!!!

                                                                            your friend,

                                                                                              Ed.

                                                               Good Luck Everyone!!!                                                                                                                           

Atleast they don't have to worry about safety issues.  WTG!

Those ladies might love their jobs. However, if it were I winning, I would give my employer...dust!  No way, life is too short to be working until you drop dead. On the other hand, those winners have more options than most: they can quit anyday and at anytime.

Perhaps, another option for the ladies would be to open a business (you will not have to work for others), volunteer their time helping others, enrolling in college full-time -- if they do not have a degree,  or auditing courses for fun (without worrying about credit).

Finally, they should live life richly because they do not want their epitaph to read: she worked herself to death!
