The (Almost) Never Ending Scratch-Off

This is the story of my 13 scratch-offs.

A couple of months ago Eric and I bought a $1 scratch-off at a gas station. That ticket won $1. We didn't cash it in for a few weeks, but when we did we got another ticket. That one also won $1. So the next time we had a chance we got another ticket. This one won $2. We figured it still wasn't a big enough win to be worth getting the cash, so we got 2 more $1 scratch-offs. One lost, the other won another $2. We got another two $1 tickets, one of which won $6, the other of which won $12. So now we had $18. We were a little curious to see how far it could go, so we took $15 in cash and got another three $1 tickets. Two lost, one won $3. We got another three tickets, all of which lost this time. So, with our $1 scratch-off, we won another $12 worth of scratch-offs and $15 in cash. This was all over a two-month period of time, just getting new tickets with the old ones whenever we remembered. I have never been this lucky with scratch-offs in my life, and I probably never will be again.
