Man scores big in lottery twice in 24 hours

[Wyatt earp]

This guy must have a lucky horseshoe up his butt...According to the Facebook page for Washington's Lottery, Collings' day started off on the right note when he won the $55,555 prize on a scratch-off ticket. Not a bad day's work, but Collings wasn't finished. On his way to cash in his ticket, he stopped at a store to buy some more. One of them ended up being worth $200,000.

Wonder how many dollars the guys spent in his lifetime on lottery tickets?

I see obviously gambling addicted who spend a lot of money (looks to me like) every damned day.

Now obviously its none of my business except that when one gets in line behind one of these folks one can spend a lot of time waiting for them to buy their various tickets.

Its not uncommon to see people who are clearly not well off buying multiple tickets including various scratch offs and lotteries.

Guess its a more harmless addiction than buying smokes everyday.

A recent similar experience included some airhead woman then having to resort to a few rounds of the Card Swipe Game to pay for her assortment of lottery tickets and other crap, assuring the clerk with each new try that one of these cards was good for sure. And darn if she didn't, finally, come up with one too.

This is a pure example of why casinos and lotteries take in so much $$$$$,

Make headlines of flukes like this and the idiots will rush to throw their own money into the trash.

I rarely get 2 numbers out of 6 in the Arizona Lottery but I did find a neatly-folded $50 outside Wally World the other day looking for shotgun shells...(they were OUT....twice a day deliveries with 2 dozen guys lined up waiting....I think I talked the sporting goods clerk to say me a couple boxes for a fin). So I looked around and nobody appeared to be backtracking their route or flailing their arms around so I kept it. My luck happens in good ways though....like yesterday jogging through some grass instead of running on the cement sidewalk, I stepped in a hole and turned my ankle sideways. It didn't snap and ain't even sprained. That's the kind of luck I'll take over money (unless it's a LOT of money) any ol day.

P.S. I don't know about the rest of y'all, but if I was in that man's position, I would send a good deal of the money to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
