after reading this again I wanted to comment some more.... how come people do not talk about the fact that this guy was not even from mass? he is a corporate snake...people do not realize that billion dollar companies are the ones who front all $$ for the building of these casinos nationwide. Also, these guys like patrick get huge kickbacks in the form of donations to their campaigns. Bobby, great job on this story!!!

This is so true. Math challenged rejects, I cant stand it, this has happened to so many times it's not even funny. I was behind this lady once and she was scratching tickets as the clerk was ringing her up. Then she had the nerve to pick out a couple more tickets after she lost. I standing there and the stupid clerk is getting her more like she's the only person in the store. Gambling addicts are even more dangerous and annoying than drunks. I've heard of guys gambling their families out of house and home. Freaking morons!

you said it, effectively tax math challenged derelicts, because that what they are. I do not go into these stores because of those people. how about these people who ask the clerks, can I see what number is in the back of the tickets, like that $%^&*&^% matters@! I asked a 7-11 owner about tickets and smokes and he laughed so loud and said well over 90 % buy both smokes and tickets! this is going up all over the USA....This is the greatest country in the world but lets face reality, is the moron population growing or is it just me? does anybody want to work anymore?
