Budward,

That's another good angle. You get drunk at the bar, the bar has its own cab and drives you home. (Plus they'll probably get the return business in the morning). While you're waiting for the cab you have another drink. Everyone is happy.

Lot of ways to make a buck out there.

Car breaks

down, you need a ride somewhere, who you gonna call? A Cab!

A guy I worked with actually pulled this one off: took his car into the shop thinking he could just wait for it, they said they'd have to keep it overnight.

He walks to a pizzeria and and asks if he orders a pizza delievered, can he go with it.

The guy in the pizzeria says as long as it's ok with the delivery guy, so he gets a pizza and a ride.

The next day at work the guy is exp... [ More ]

Yeah, I'm all about angles.

When I owned a bar I tried to set up a Cash Store in 1 corner but didn't have enuff liquid cash to get a franchise.

Hey Budward,

I gotta call that gas station / cab service to get the scoop.

When you think about it, it's not a bad business angle. Car breaks

Sometimes I come to this site and laugh my buttocks off. You all have a good sense of humor.

Speaking of the Bears...they have made some good changes this year. If I was a sports betting person, I'd take them to win the black 'n blue division this year barring the usual injuries. Hope Lovie brings 'em up to speed right.

Wonder if they take bets on the Cubs and White Sox and Bears, too.

Thanks for the info!

I've played the same ticket twice before, so maybe, maybe it was something like that but still odd. Good forever it was that it hit. Twice.

RE: Lottery retailers.

There was a law in California that to be a lottery outlet you had to be in business, at the same location for five years. Then when the Nevada casino industry decided the Nevada- California border on I-15 was a good place for more casinos, the Primm family put one right on the state li... [ More ]

call em up and ask em.

one person might have run his play slip twice or if he wheeled the numbers it's possible when he filled out the tickets he accidently put the same numbers twice. Or the operator accidently shoved the play slip in twice in either event. nice payday.

Four4me,

Thanks for shedding light on that. I'm still wondering how two winning tickets were sold at the same place.

I typed that address in my search engine and came up with a gas station so it's possibly a gas station which also runs a cab servise.

LOL...........Coin Toss. I did notice that too. I'm as baffled as you. Maybe another IL player who lives close to there can give us an explanation.

The cab service selling lottery tickets is odd enough. But two winners from the same place? Did one person run their bet slip twice or did two people have the same combo and they just happened to get their tickets at the same place?

Very strange indeed
