Wow! Nice one allowselftowin!! Good for him and you lol! That is awesome and I'm pleased - so pleased you are in PA too.
I have a story..well, when don't I? Most of my posts are story length but I'll try to make it short and sweet.
Awhile back a guy standing in line told me he won $1,000 on the same ticket your husband did. I said alright!! That's a good one!! and he said
that he was shocked and that now 'he's hooked'. Well, before that I didn't see him around, he certainly wasn't a hawk and probably not even
a regular player, just a lucky guy who tried a $10,000 a Month for Life and won a $1,000. Well in the days following his $1,000 win, I'd see
him more and more and I'd see him playing the same game. I would think, Hey guy..there's other tickets there, but didn't say anything. I was at
the same machine he was at another day and in between his 10 at a time ticket purchases, I'd get mine..we were playing different games, I
thought at the rate he was buying them up, he was getting winners and why should I bother with them? He'd go over to the counter, cash in
a few and come back TO THE SAME GAME...anyhoo, I'd see him on other days and what struck me was he wasn't the happy winner anymore,
he was what appeared to be something half-way between the transformation of Dr. Jekyl into Mr. Hyde. Scratching and buying at top speed and
it was all THE SAME GAME. You just can't tell anyone at that point anything. You just have to let them go and sneak away like you don't see it.
They aren't talkative anymore, they're focused on the business at hand and they want the machine all to themselves. I don't see him around
anymore, maybe he quit too or cut down or just isn't at the stores I go to - $1,000 isn't too hard to spend playing like he did I guess. It's just
something I think about when I'm out...I hope that I don't look like that mid-way point between Dr. J and Mr. H. I play multi-tickets at a time
and it's fun...but just not the same game and limit each game to according to the cost of the ticket.
This is why I LOVE a story like yours, your husband buys one and wins $1,000!! It's like getting the lottery back - I know they'd love it if
everyone played tons of tickets but I swear that won't be me just because of that fact. They really stink a lot of times lately and I'm so happy
for you both! WTG!!
