The odds against winning a scratch-off card $3,000,000 bonanza are too great to contemplate. There are hundreds of outlets selling scratch-off cards and millions of wrong numbers that don't match the tantalizing lottery ads on television. So why buy a card? Because we are all dreamers! And the super rich Connecticut Lottery controls the printing of scratch-off cards.
Each card proclaims "15 chances to win" or "30 chances to win" and never ever do you read "15 chances to lose" or "30 chances to lose." Something like the wallet left on the sidewalk packed with newspaper strips, and a barely visible string to pull it away from the sucker trying to grab the money.
I've been purchasing scratch-off cards for the past twenty years. I've won $100 a few times on a $5 card and invested in the Connecticut Lottery coffers. The profits are supposed to provide additional money for the state's educational institutions. Nevertheless, school custodians make more than teachers. Nor has anyone viewed a Connecticut Lottery financial statement. Hmmmmmm.
So forget your dreams for quick riches from scratch-off cards. Just play their game as I do and enjoy the scratching. You might get lucky. Probably not. It's still fun to try, and that's what I'm doing!
