The “scratchers” who clog the convince stores are worse than the junkies shooting up in the parking lot here.

At least the users stay quiet and out of the way.

I will stand in a line of geriatric or crack whore scratch ticket junkies next hour, deciding whitch ticket their future relies on.... All to buy a bottle of V8 juice and pack of gum. It is scary when one must leave early to work to wait while granny decides weather she wants 4 or five of the number 46, then decides she wants a mass million quickpick, or powerball. Then she finds a ten dollar winner in her purse and the whole process starts again.. I sometimes just wish a buss would run me over.

Sometimes its bad here too. 7-11s have two clerks even in the daytime, when it gets bad one handles the lottery line and the other handles everyone else.
I admit to buying a lottery ticket now and then, about three or four a year when the cash payout hits around a hundred million. I always chose a computer pick (it’s quicker) and only one at a time. I can lose just as easy with one ticket as I can with fifty. I don’t expect to win but it does give me some great dreams.
