Well, I think I am going to play everytime, at least until I deploy. Me winning the jackpot means me getting out of the military. It's called a Conflict of Interest!

my mothers friend won playing the scratchers three different times. She won $10K twice and $50K once. When my dad asked her for her secret, she just said you have to feel you are going to win. That doesnt work for me, but did for her.
