justxploring,

How right you are about casinos. The bosses always say this, If they win, they bring it back (the money the won), if they lose, they go home and get more of their own (once again meaning money), but they always come back.

Another is, Nobody really wins, they just get to borrow our money for awhile.

That's one of the big draws of lotto, the potential win relative to the buy in is so sweet, that if you do get lucky, you win a whole lot more than you would in a casino.... [ More ]

Maybe I'm reading the article incorrectly. It sounds as if he didn't spend a lot, but maybe he blew $100 or more.

now I dont think he only spend $5 on the second ticket. The lottery commissions never say the number of tickets an individual bought when they hit the jackpot, they only announce the value of the lucky ticket. You see they would never want to discourage people who play $1 at a time by informing them that a jackpot winner shelled $50 at once. It's all mind control.

I agree. Also, it's very natural to buy more tickets when you win. I haven't won a dime in months so I am really down out and don't want to play too much. But when I win even $100, I always buy a few extra tickets. Doesn't make sense, since I'm still behind, but it's that positive feeling you get like I'm on a roll that makes you do it. People like Coin Toss who worked in casinos understand what I'm talking about. Once I was so frustrated because I played for hours and never won anything. Then I... [ More ]

I don't think he was greedy to go back and by more tickets. If he hadn't, he wouldn't have won the million dollars. Congrats to him! He was very lucky

Wow, that's some great luck right there. Good for him.

For me, it's more like me going and buying a $5 ticket, winning nothing and getting pissed, going and buying another and losing, and then going home. LMAO...maybe someday

Man wins $1,001,000 from 2 scratch tickets

Lottery Post — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 12:30:30 GMT

A Massachusetts man won $1,000 and $1 million dollars from two scratch-off lottery tickets on the same day.

Phillip Brunelle, 29, of Fall River, said he was so excited about winning $1,000 on a scratch-off ticket at a convenience store that he decided to return to the store later to buy another $5 Money Mania ticket, WCVB-TV, Boston, reported Monday.

I already won $1,000, so I don't know why I went back down. I guess I'm greedy, Brunelle said.

He said he used his lucky penny to uncover... [ More ]
