When I run on the roads, I pick up 2nd Chance eligible lottery tickets and enter them into the drawing. Last week I picked up a discarded $1 winner.
Yesterday while entering the 2nd Chance drawing, the Florida Lottery app decided I had entered enough tickets to give me a $10 scratch off ticket coupon! I was very happy about that (of course) so I got a nice new shiny $10 lottery ticket for free! and..... lost.
