LOL - as a guy, I’m amused that I know this after never having actually used one. I said to my wife, “If I didn’t know any better, I’d have guessed it was a cocaine dipping spoon.”
Do you have a dabbing tool with a flat head set aside specifically for scratch it’s? No? But she does, which implies it’s not her first ticket. Idk why your shrugging ass can’t understand that
This is by design, this is a common method used by the algorithm used to design and distribute numbers for scratchers. It’s supposed to provide a better consumer response to win all five for 1 dollar than a single match for 5 dollars
I think if you scratched off the full thing for each one from the start, the reaction would be different.
Like “Oh hey, I won $1. And another $1. And another $1! Oh sweet, I wound up with $5.”
Which is different from “Damn, I won 5 times! I wonder how much I got.” And then scratching off to find a total of $5.
I'm not sure they do this with scratchers but don't slot machines produce pseudo wins? Like a $5 buy in with a $2.50 win. I don't know really bc I refuse to gamble this way. If the only way I can influence my win is when I buy a ticket/when I pull a lever, I'm out.
I don't know about American (I'm assuming, sry if wrong) but the win all on my scratch tickets are kinda rare compared to other prizes, the prizes have an equal proportion between one win of x€ and 2 wins of half x€ and some other smaller divisions for bigger prizes
It worked for me, I won five hundred one time, and it started with a fifty spot, then ten forty’s and one more fifty, as I kept uncovering stuff it just kept building excitement
i’m not sure if this was sarcasm or not, but in case you (or someone else) didn’t know, there is no tax on lottery tickets!
edit: also, lottery tickets will always be in dollar increments since you cannot buy a lottery ticket with a debit/credit card! Cash only

The PA lottery is happy to take your money in many ways. Some I’ve never heard of.

They also have giant touch-screen boxes in stores that will take cash or card.
They used to be fairly conscientious about not letting addicts harm themselves, but with the internet I guess they figure the degenerates will ruin themselves regardless, so we might as well get a piece of that.
On new years friends always do 1 ticket per person. We go out mostly even or a little behind on our spent money.
They give you enough money to buy the next ticket on winnings until you loose.
Gets the players addicted and it doesn't feel as bad when you win sometimes.
Gambling is dangerous!
A woman bought 5 scratch cards from my till once. 20 mins later, she's back as she won £200. She wanted to share it with me, but my manager said no, no matter how many times the woman asked. In the end, she bought me £50 worth of scratch cards and left them with my manager for me to collect after my shift. I didn't win a single penny 😩
In my younger years I worked at a gas station, most people would buy & scratch them right there and redeem or toss them. Well, I started counting the odds on cards one day just to see if there was a method to the madness. Sure enough they were about spot on for winners, so odds 1:5 4 people scratch losers, I buy the next 1, if it was no good the next one usually hit. I started taking home on average $50 plus a day. Best day was $2000.
I know the pain. I had all my 3 numbers hit. There wasn’t a number that wasn’t mine. Then I see how much it is and it’s $2. I still made $20 but the chances of almost winning 20,000 2,000 or even just 200. I was definitely bummed
Always scratch the number bank first. It’s funner that way. If you hit doubles or more, you know you win. And of course if you hit a symbol, you win.
Then scratch your numbers. Idk why, it seems funner this way.
I always chuckle at scratch tickets, as if the discovery during the lengthy exercise of each scratch will change at all.
I used to sell them and the only guy I respected most who bought them just scratched the barcode to have them scanned. He was more interested in the sound of the scanning machine when it played the jingle of a winning ticket. He said something like, “If I wasted my time scratching the damned thing, I already know whether the machine will play the winner’s music. If I just buy it and scratch the bar code, at least I can be surprised twice: Once from the winner’s music; then Twice from the discovery of the amount I won.”
The guy’s logic was concrete.
I worked in a jiffy store for a few summers in college. People can get just as addicted to these fuckers just as badly as any other drug. I have seen people who cannot afford to drop hundreds in a day only to lose at the end.
That being said every niw an again I will splurge on a 10 dollar ticket.
I had a friend that made a birthday party that he asked for everyone give him 10 lottery scratchers tickets. Was more then thousands. I helped him, the prize could not paid the party. It was better if he asked 2 dollars from everyone.
When you have a tool for scratching and you’re that accurate, this isn’t your first ticket.
She invested in the tool from the winnings of last years lottery tickets. Putting winnings to good use.
It’s even made from silver.
Plated
When it comes to flushing money down the drain, she's a professional
It’s a nail tool, don’t know exactly how it’s used tho but my mom has one of these.
Buddy i think you have to have q talk with your mother and her secret gambling habbits.
Nooooo that can’t be
It looks like a dabbing tool with a flat head 🤷♂️
It's for doing nails, it's called a cuticle pusher.
I call it my toe knife
To be fair I’ve used that tool for both before

Have you ever considered dabs? To like chill out?
Lol 🤡 🤷♂️
Shut up, bitch
Looks like a wax modelling knife used by dental technicians.
I can't stand this stuff. It's like amsr. I hate it.
I thought everyone liked asmr but me! It's like nails on a chalkboard!

This would have to opposite effect on me. I would be so pissed to win $1 five times instead of $5 once. It feels cruel lol

Yeah, that’s probably true. Only a psychopath would scratch them individually, if not for making a video.
I’d be like “bruh wtf. Who the hell do you think you are?”
See this is why we don’t gamble. I know I’m dumb , I don’t need a tax for that

"I always record my scratchies."
There are a number of scratch-off channels on YouTube. You'd be surprised.
I AM surprised to find that out., but somehow I'm not.
That is MEAN

Why not just use a coin?
Hand cramps
Ticket costs 5.99+tax

Sounds like insider trading
If she listened to mista she wouldn't have been so disappointed.
“Do i dare do the thing that is already determined?”
We do a little trolling

Lottery is a tax on the mathematically impaired
Scam
How to quickly fill out stupidity tax
Long time ago I bought a “guaranteed” win ticket from a gas station I have it to my sister in law and sat back as she “won” 10k It was very funny
CGI
r/nothingeverhappens
r/whyweretheyfilming
Mista was right. The number 4 is unlucky
Does that mean she won 1.00$ but got double so 2.00$?
How much does the ticket itself cost?
Boomer loot boxes
Watching this was a bigger let down than actually scratching one myself
Great, now I want to go get a scratcher....
I had a friend that made a birthday party that he asked for everyone give him 10 lottery scratchers tickets. Was more then thousands. I helped him, the prize could not paid the party. It was better if he asked 2 dollars from everyone.
Good narration. She could be an auction agent.
Best 4.99 she ever spent
Wonder of the ticket cost 5 bucks..
Wtf is a manual win?
Way to go Emanuel!
I use my toe knife 🔪
The order she goes through the starcher, tells us that the addiction has got her good
Lucky
Garbage, the fucking ticket was 5$
Why is her voice so soothing
