Hello all. First I want to congratulate all the lucky people out there. Buying scratch offs used to be my little fun time when I had spare money. The past year I have robbed Peter to pay Paul to chase my losses. Today I used my bill money and lost it all. I started with $10 tickets and would win $50 so I would buy a $50 ticket and just started chasing losses. I’m so embarrassed at what I lost today. What really made me realize I had a problem is I was buying $50 tickets. After 3 in a row losers I noticed a man watching as I’m walking up to the line to get another one he buys the one I’m playing and hits $500. Smirked at me and left. I was furious so I started playing $100 tickets to try to recoup my losses. Nope 4 in a row losers and dead broke. My boyfriend is probably going to leave me when he sees the bank statement. Couple months ago he told me I needed to slow down and I promised I would. I feel ashamed and humiliated. I am addicted and need help. Just wanted to say when you start using bill money to gamble you have a problem. The only time you truly win at gambling is when you stop.
