IMO, it isn't fair! Keep your hands out the pot or go else where to get your fix. When I read it was the same guy, I was pist

Thats why I really like the store next to my work. I have mentioned on many of occasions. It is a husband and wife who I believe are Indian. If I ask him what he likes, he will tell me if someone just lost on a few. Sometimes it pays off and sometimes it doesnt. I asked him why he doesnt buy them and he said he doesn't like to buy from his own store and doesnt think it is right. He said he will usually go buy from his friends store in Norristown. I know in PA they get 5% on all sales and a % of... [ More ]

I don't live in Florida, but I can tell you pretty much the same thing happens in Pennsylvania. I spoke to a store clerk a few days ago and she said if the other clerks notice someone losing off a bunch of tickets from the same game, they'll go and get the next few tickets because it's probable there's a winner. To me, that doesn't seem fair because the clerks have the advantage over the customers in the sense that they can keep track of losing tickets. I, too, understand it's all random, but yo... [ More ]

I saw that, too. My reaction is the same as yours. I don't like this situation at all. I have witnessed clerks taking the next ticket after several losers--- and I only play the $20 games so it really ticks me off. There is definitely something wrong here. I am happy for those who become successful entrepeneurs, but we know all too well that many, many, many, many, families with last names such as the last name of this gentleman come to this country and get HUGE tax incentives to open up small b...

Wow first I want to say congrats to the winner especially with his luck hitting a $1 million, $20,000 and $25,000 from the same gas station. But it is just me or when you do some research you see that the guy or his family owns that gas station then what comes to mind is could this be a case of... [ More ]
