I am extremely upset at the fact that, I enjoy playing scratch off tickets like I always have. Now I dont even want to try and that irritates me so much. The reason I dont want to play anymore is because the workers are playing the tickets also and have the advantage. Thats not fair. An employee personally told me he placed a ticket near the cigarettes for a while to see if anyone wanted to buy it. So he says. Then apparently he decided to buy it himself and won $200. I had been playing that lottey the same night and decided against that ticket because of what he said. Today he was there again. I bought 1 ticket and went home to scratch it. I lost. Went back and got 2 more only to realize 1 ticket had been taken inbetween and I lost on both after I scratched them to just to see if that was the case. I cant say he was the one to take it for sure, but I do know hes played before and his wife stays in the parking lot for hours sometimes for whatever reason. And as far as im concerned, all the money I have spent there and as good of a realationship I have there, which can be checked.. I feel totally cheated. Maybe I would have bought that $200 ticket. Or maybe that 1 ticket missing may have been my winner. Just the fact that your employees are allowed to play the tickets and win at the very store they work at is appaling. How can I win against that. I have told many different people over the thousands I have spent there over the years buying tickets that this store either has the worst tickets in texas or they are playing them. Now I know which one it is. Sad...
Scratch off tickets is a game of luck and I learned that you can't go buy the odds on the back of the ticket. I can give you a perfect example, I used to have a gentleman come in and buy at least 100 dollars worth of lottery tickets and one day he bought 10 $20 tickets. The next day he told me he didn't win a single one of those. I don't know what that specific circle K policy is but if your losing money it is no one elses fault but your own and if you did spend thousands of dollars perhaps you should get yourself some help.
