Penn. Match 6 Lotto Rules FinalizedReply
I remember that. It was like the illegal (?) parley sheets/office pool. Got a lotta flack from the NFL, and made national news. The other big news at that time there was when Delaware couldn't sell enough tickets to fund its first lottery (Standard 6-digit 50 cent ticket). Similar thing happened in Pa around that time, too. when the powers that be decided that people still wanted to play the illegal pick a 3 digit lottery. so they came up with the $1 Winners Choice pre-printed draw ticket.

He let some kid steal his new bicycle which also indicated psychological issues with that kid.

Nearly 68 million US adults plan to wager on Super BowlReply
I don't know if I would ever wager on a sports game. Although I sometimes detect patterns in the outcomes of games (for example, UCLA has never lost to USC in football in the Year of the Dog, and unranked Georgia has beaten ranked Auburn in football in the last four years ending in 6), I believe my bet would take away from my ability to enjoy the game.
