Am I normal?Reply
Hi fish40, We sound alot alike. I've probably played through a comparable amount of tickets, and I've only been playing scratchoffs for a year. I got hooked after my uncle gave me some for Christmas last year. I'm also 24, so a similar age as you. My advice is to seek out your local Gambler's Anonymous club. I plan on attending the one in my area as well. There's no shame in going, you recognize that you have an addiction and that is a big step. I have the same addiction, and we

Is it just me or have Winnings practically stopped across the boards?Reply
No, the lottery is not rigged. What happened is that you experienced a lucky streak. This caused an irreversible change in your brain chemistry which is commonly called addiction. This change in your brain chemistry is irreversible, it will never go away. Now that you are permanently addicted, your luck has run out and you are doomed to a lifetime of gambling addiction and the ups and downs of fortune. Just like all the rest of us, including the folks who are in a state of denial. What passe
