Warm Spring Time

It’s becoming warmer and warmer here in  Michigan right now and that only means one thing. The urge to play scratch and wins. I really don’t know why, but warm weather just makes me want to walk up to the store to get some exercise and pick up a scratch and win that could change my life forever. And by change my life forever, I mean at least win 10 bucks to put in my gas tank. Which brings me to why I have this odd tendency. With the warmer weather coming about, the gas mileage gets better for everybody. Meaining theres a few extra cents in your pocket adding up every time you drive.

This year, not so much. Gas prices have sky rocketed and the once urge to scratch and win diminishes knowing I don’t have that extra change. Gas is going up to $3.40 a gallon and I feel more and more less inclined to use my method to buy scratch and wins. Which makes me think that the Michigan lottery should have the most useful ticket of all. The Gas Giveaway scratch and win ticket! How great would that be to get a scratch and win ticket that was good towards gas giftcards, or better yet worked in conjunction with the gas stations to redeem any ticket for a set amount of gas to pump into your car. This my friends, would be a great game right now. Will it happen? Of course not, there’s to many hurdles to jump and it would make all stations have to join in to make it work. Best case I can see is write in your favorite station and send it in and wait for it in the mail. Useful, but it’s just not that on demand as scratch and wins are known for in the first place.

I’ve also been playing less and less of Fantasy 5 lately due to just not being able to find that extra buck in my wallet that eventually goes to gas. After looking into it, I’m just not taking any “Me Time” money out anymore! I totally skipped last month and went on from February’s ticket cash. I knew I didn’t spend that much money to begin with. But that concludes another lovely lottery blog by myself. I hope to kick it up and yes FINALLY throw the results of Project Lottery Life as well as drum up some ideas for my next lottery based project.
