Norm Cooper, a kindly, red-faced 62-year-old candy maker from Salem, N.H., stops by Ted's "almost every other day" on his way home from work and drops $110 on scratch tickets. He won $5,000 two months ago, and scratched his way to $1,000 earlier this month.
WOW, $55.00 a day ($110.00 every two days) on scratch-offs; from a candy maker? No wonder the price of chocolate has increased so much lately; some one has to pay for his habit. $55.00 a day, at 365 days in a year, comes to over $20K, a year, in card buying. If you have the money, then spend it any way that makes you happy. Give me a hundred million, and I would do exactly that!
