I had been reading about math teachers who use baited hook scratch cards to predict the winners from the losers, and win millions. However it takes an inside man, a cashier to let you sift through them to only buy the probable winners, so I never did it. It also takes some investment time and money to crack the codes of the cards of your state in the first place. Well I was in line yesterday to get a lotto ticket or ten, and a man with a 4 inch stack of a $10 game of the same scratch card hands them to the cashier, who says 'how many did you win?' and he says 'all of them', then the cashier winks and smiles, says 'imagine that'. He proceeds to cash in $582 in wins. In my state you can can in up to $599 at a time before you must pay taxes. So as if I am not jealous and amazed enough, the lady at the other window takes the next customer, another man. He pulls another stack of the same game out of his pocket and cashes in 30 tickets totaling $598. As he walks past winner number one, winner number one says 'see you won more the me' and he responds 'by $16', and laughs. Then they leave. Now the gamblers I know follow all 'unexpected wins' with buying more of their favorite game. They walked right past the ticket machine. So half of me is fuming, becuase I buy my losing tickets of the same game from this store, and now I know why I never win. The other side of me is thinking 'hmmmm'. Has anyone cracked any baited hook codes already on Arizona Scratchers? Anyone want to work with me? Ethically speakins, is it sick and wrong I want to do this? Or is it retarded and self defeating that I not? Advice? Oh and legally speaking, there is no law against it as far as I can tell?
