How creative, fantastic work..hmm, I am refinishing a piece of furniture. This could put a new spin on this.

Seriously, their work is beautiful.

Watch the video. They didn't buy all those tickets. Don't think they bought any tickets. And people didn't give unscratched tickets. They find scratched tickets in trash cans, on the ground.

Actually put them to a good use instead of just them just being thrown away.

I wonder if they scanned all these loser tickets before they glued them to the wall? Just to make sure.

They could have done it without spending any money on lottery tickets. Ask other people to give you their loser tickets or search for them in the garbage cans outside convenience stores.

Great question. As long as you can document you spent the full amount of the money on tickets, it does not bar you from buying your own as well. You also would not be reasonably expected to use a winning ticket in your project and not cash it in.

So - you get a commission to do one of these rooms... your patron gives you 70k$ for tickets... when you scratch them and find a 10M$ winner... do you tell the patron or just keep it for yourself and buy another ticket

I like the earlier 3D sculptural ones much more. The recent ones are pretty though.

It looks beautiful. Dream House? Nah... more like Losers Emporium. Most individual Americans do not have a net income of $70,000.00. $70,000.00 of losing {worthless} tickets and furniture in one room..

My first thought is how many are missed winners that were never cashed. Hopefully, none are, but even high budget players who scratch instants on Youtube miss winners.

Anyways, imagine a room covered in Texas and Colorado $50 tickets. That would cost a fortune

Includes video report

More people than ever are trying to rescue, recycle and reinvent, especially on Earth Day.

This extreme example uses all those unlucky lottery scratch-off tickets to turn them into a recycled masterpiece.

Artists Adam Eckstrom and Lauren Was have created an entire dining room out of 40,000 used lottery tickets, using them to make up the wall panels, furniture and even the place settings.

All the furniture and d cor total a whopping $70,000 in lottery ticket sale... [ More ]
