And a call blocker is even more of one. Mine has room for 1500 numbers and I've used several hundred. It's great during election cycles.

I have a phone right next to my computer and I keep the ringer turned off all the time. If it's a number I don't recognize, I usually can Google it before it quits ringing (well, it doesn't ring, but a light flashes) and it takes one push of a button to blacklist it and their calls will never get through again.

Spin around in different directions and tell the clerk you are trying to unwind from the day

That one I like the best

That's like when people ask if I'm all right... I tell them NO, I'm not all right.

They ask me why, what's wrong. I tell them ....

I am not all right because I am half LEFT!

If I was all right, I would tip over

I know, I know but with all the lottery stuff going on in Iowa especially with the gullible elderly , pranking them in convenient store check-out lines is rather childish.

The only fun thing I can think of doing at the Lotto counter is Cashing a winning ticket.

You assume much, for one thing Illinois does not have Keno

Illinois probabaly doesn't have very many lotto counters either, but that didn't stop you from childishly suggesting having fun on one.

for another I never said anything about joking with the clerks, I just mentioned putting a filled out play slip back in the rack.

Correct, you suggested writing on a play slip and putting it back in the rack where a real lottery player will find it and throw it away. Do you hide, wait, and wa... [ More ]

I've bought lottery tickets in several states and a couple of stores actually had lottery lines , but I had to wait until the lottery counter clerk showed up. It never occurred to me find some fun things to do while waiting.

However to stay on topic, CT can take longer than necessary telling the clerks jokes (or whatever else he thinks is fun) so the mean looking guy behind him who is playing 4 minute Keno gets shut out and then CT can have a laugh with the mean looking guy while the numbers... [ More ]

Fun thing to do CT? .. Hmm, let me think.How about if you the 3rd person in line with another 8 behind you- fill in MM/PB slips for them, hand it out to each with the usual One for you, one for you etc and end with the People l know you folks lead busy lives so this makes it easier for you to get back to doing what really matters instead of waiting here in line.. You can thank me later.

I hate it when I go to fill out a bet slip and pick up one that's already been filled out and placed back in the rack with the blank slips.

Fun things to do at the lotto counter...

Coin Toss — Tue, 05 Apr 2016 04:04:15 GMT

Here's one, take a play slip for any game, fill it out, and in another game box on the same slip check VOID and in that game box write PLEASE PLAY ME and put it back in the slot for that game.
