  the most i've spent on a pick 3 number is $5. i've spent $70 on mega millions before.
  
  
  
  i've seen customers throw down hundreds of dollars a day on numbers. there are people who play at my old work whose yearly spending is above the poverty line. i've also seen people blow over a grand a week on tickets. i may not seem like too much to some people, but in one year, they will have spent over $52,000 on lottery tickets. 20 years, and the guy will have spent $1 million, and he probably has not won anything.
  
  
  
  i also had a customer who i really wanted leave. she wound up spending $550 on scratch-off tickets. she won back $235. she said she was looking for the $100 winner. she was hogging the counter, and other customers were complaining. i explained to her that she was being detrimental to business, and that customers were complaining. she asked to see the manager. i let her keep on playing. the only breaks i got from this lady was when she went to the ATM to get more money. if you need to go to the ATM to get more gambling money (and i'm guessing she got out $100-$200), there's a problem. if you need to go to the ATM more than once to get gambling money, you need to be cut off. granted it's good for business, but the lady was just throwing away her paycheck, and she didn't even win back half of what she spent. she dventually got the $100 winner, after spending about $400. she then bought more tickets, getting another $100 winner. she then bought tickets winning her $5, $5, $10, and $15, and quite a few more losers.

  I've redone my website.  Go to www.dr-ew.com.  I kept a lot of the old stuff, and I've added some new stuff.  Look for more new stuff in the coming weeks.

  I spent $200 on a number straight one time.

  
  

  Usually it's $100 or $50 ( in 2004 )

  
  

  triple troopers are like that.

  One day I had $75 in my pocket and nothing to do, so I went around to all the different convenience stores in a 6-mile radius of my home to buy about 3 or 4 scratch offs at each store before moving on to the next store.

  I had losses in a row, then some wins to keep me going - up and down all day, staying alive, but with dwindling funds.  At 5 p.m. with about $12 left, I had made a full circle of my town and was going toward home when I stopped at one last store with faith and disgust in my soul at the same time.  I bought a Break The Bank, it was number 005 on the roll, and hit $200.  I quietly put it in my pocket and went the heck home.
