You know: You bet $20.00 on a particular draw or something beyond your budget because you had that " special feeling" that you close to hitting it. Only to find that your numbers were waay off?

Or do you shrug it off as part of the game?- For me,part of the game.

I try to stay cool, calm and rational.

I might threaten the clerks about what'll happen if they give me bad numbers again but that's it.

Well, I might flip over the display rack of Cheezy Poofs too but nothing more than that.

There's no need to get excited, tomorrow's another day.

I tink I'd take a chainsaw to the jinxed machine and tell them they best replace it soon

When you pace yourself you never get the loser hangover. Ever since I quit scratchoff tickets, I never get loser hangover.

yes I do tend to have pity parties when my numbers haven't arrived like I thought they would;

Then I step back till my thinking is more rational , and try another day;

Only when I foolishly spent 100 bucks for a draw. I wouldn't do it again.

You keep your losing tickets? I'd be a little depressed if I had to see those. I suppose you can use them to reduce your tax burden should you win a small jackpot.

I don't get a 'hangover',..I just get reassured on a daily basis there's a malevolent mystical force that sees to it that I not

get comforted from time to time with a hit and or a couple of bucks.

I have truely thought about seeing one of them indian auora/spiritual cleansers.

..either that or purchase my picks whilst burning sage Somethings gotta give because the ol' "at least you got your health" has worn out its welcome .

for always sticking up for me.."

I can be a braggadocious condescending loser at times.

I use a system which requires I update all my data and do a workout before playing so I get player fatigue sometimes and don't play for a while. I would like to win but if playing isn't enjoyable it's not worth spending the money because so far this year I've only won more than I spent once.

Your a good friend, and a winner RJOh. Keep up the great work.
