So, lottery gambling is OK, but a casino is bad? That doesnt make sense.

Why is gambling bad then? People can drink and eat garbage food. Why cant they gamble too? Is it because of the Christians?

My favorite thing to do to encourage participation at a big meeting is to buy a few of the $1 scratch tickets and surprise someone that answered a question with one. Then the whole room becomes filled with rabid people who start drooling when you start a question with "What..." Tried it with candy bars before but that doesn't work with everyone, but offer a piece of card stock that worthless most of the time and people go crazy. Humans are so loving stupid

Also scratchers were used for money laundering for a while because some fuckin idiot designed a card that could be read with your eyeballs to determine if it was a winner or loser and it took them 6 months to pull it

The real schadenfreude came 20 years later, when my mom retired in relative comfort because she invested any money she came upon, while my aunt had to keep working a job in a casino and having a kinda sad, broken life.
