If you are broke, you are better off buying 100 $1 scratch off tickets than it is to buy 10 $10 scratch off tickets.

$1 scratch off tickets are more likely to give you back $2 to $5 than $10 scratch off tickets are to give you $20.<br><br>Edit: do not waste your time or your money on scratch off tickets. I work at a convenience store and the number of people who scratch their tickets, realize they didn’t win anything, and throw their tickets on the floor is staggering.<br><br>Edit part 2: oh my gosh. I would have never thought that this would blow up so much. <br><br>People who play scratch off tickets are not getting an investment; they are entertained. They are entertained the same way that people who gamble or go to the races.<br><br>Edit part 3: hey everyone, just a reminder: if you made a comment and your name is in blue, you’re doing it wrong.<br><br>Edit part 4: I am not saying to spend all of your money on scratch off tickets. I am saying if you have $10 to blow either buy 10 $1 scratch off tickets or 1 $10 scratch off ticket. Your odds on $1 scratch off tickets are better than $10 scratch off tickets.<br><br>People who are saying you have a 0% chance of winning on either are not functioning correctly.<br><br>Edit part 5: if you are going to message and insult me because we don’t see eye to eye on this post, just know that I have worked 13 hours today already and I am tired to respond to your stupid shit.<br><br>Edit part 6: I had no idea that this was a CARROT.<br><br>I am not saying scratch off tickets are a good investment. I am saying if you have to choose between spending $10 on $1 scratch off tickets or $10 on $10 scratch off tickets, your odds of winning more money are better on the cheaper scratch off tickets.<br><br>FUCKING CARROT.<br><br>Edit part 7: if you think this post is about investing your money, you did it wrong.<br><br>Edit part 8: if you think this post is about investing your money, you did it wrong. (Also, I have worked a 14 hour shift and I am drinking)<br><br>Edit part 9: hey everyone, just a reminder: if you made a comment and your name is in blue, you’re doing it wrong.<br><br>Edit part 10: I am going to stop following this thread now.<br><br>I am not a scratch off enthusiast. I am not a gambler. I am an overworked tired store clerk. I was trying to give life advice to anyone who buys scratch off tickets from me during my shift.<br><br>I think we have all determined that the odds of you winning more money on scratch off tickets than what you spend is nil. That doesn’t change the fact that if you buy 10 $1 scratch off tickets, you are more likely to win $20 than you are if you buy 1 $10 scratch off ticket.<br><br>If you are going to continue to insult me through direct messages, just know that I have put my phone away and I am focusing on more positive things than to continue to focus on negative shit like you.<br><br>Thank you all for Canonical Reaper and icsicky who have been the calm in the center of the storm.<br><br>Also big thank you to all the people who direct messaged me and offered me ERC20 tokens for my current financial issues. I have claimed what I can and I have passed the rest out to people around me who may be in need of help.<br><br>For everyone else who continues to insult me, I hope that you step on a lego.<br><br>I will no longer be replying to anything here.<br><br>Thank you.<br><br>Edit part 11: wow, sorry for not getting back to anyone but I had 150 unread messages when I woke up this morning from everyone who dug this post up from 4 months ago.<br><br>Thank you everyone for your support and for the awards.<br><br>I will no longer be replying to anything here.<br><br>Thank you.
