What Would You do if You WON?
By HumanBagelSalmon+12 Round 3, bought a book of scratchers worth $600, got back $280 ):
Bought a 20 pack of $30 scratchers, Michigan VIP millions. Roll costed $600..... got back $280. Lost $320 ):
Actually really sad on this one. As I was scratching I really thought I might've had something. Not necessarily a $4 million winner but maybe like $5,000 winner or at least a $600 winner to recoup my money back. 2023 is almost upon us and my lottery days will be over starting Jan 1st.
Question now is, collect the $280 won on this roll and just call it a day, or buy a book of the new $6million jackpot game. A whole book for that particular game, 20 tickets at $50 per ticket would cost $1,000. Putting the $280 I just won towards it, I would have to spend another $720.
Ive never really played scratchers before, only mega millions and Powerball here and there. But it all started on this sub around December 15th 2 weeks ago when I bought a pile of diamond 7 tickets in search for a 4 million winner, as the tickets still in circulation for that game outweighed the losses and there were still 2 grand prize winners
Somehow, I still lost $350 on that 1st round. Put my winnings towards another pile of tickets for a different game, won/lost another $300. Then put that towards this pile scratched right here, lost another $320........ so.... I'm down almost $1,000 in the span of 2 weeks. The obsessive thinking took a hold of me, 50/50 on weather I should double down and go for this last hoorah on this roll for a $1,000. Still obsessively thinking about whether I could nab the grand prize, or at least a 50k winner on this game, or worst case, a $2,500 winner just to recoup my losses for the whole thing.
As a college student with some significant student loan debt, I'm definitely not in the position to be doing such things. But its all good, 72 hours left....

+24 @EmphasisOutside9728 $1,000 lost. In two weeks. That's about how much I've spent and lost for all of 2022. Going big does not change the odds. Seems like you're at risk of getting completely out of control because you're chasing a win prior to the deadline you've set for yourself. Spending another $700 seems foolish to me.
+12 @SimmonsJK Uh...you'll have spent $1,600 on scratch offs. With admitted debt. WTF are you doing, man?
