Today, I bought 2 scratcher lottery tickets. I have scratched away hundreds of those things in my life. We used to give them to my grandma as gifts and she would dole them out to everyone for expedited scratching. Of course she got the winnings.

Anyhow, this was the first time I had ever gone out and purchased my own scratchers save that "look what I can do" moment every newly 18-year old faces. I even won! -$2. That dash is not an accident. It is a negative sign. In other words I lost. All in the name of new experiences.
