The Chicago Blackhawks recently launched a $2 scratch off ticket with the Illinois Lottery and as a Blackhawks fan I ended up picking up a few for fun. To play you first scratch off an area of the ticket to reveal the opponents score and then you scratch off the Blackhawks score. To win the Blackhawks must score more goals than the opponent and if they do you win whatever the prize is for that game. Unfortunately the way the game is setup you can expect the Blackhawks to lose game after game after game… went through three tickets, ten “games” per ticket without a win… so in a way the Blackhawks just lost thirty straight games.
This one leaves me scratching my head… is that really the best scratch off game you could come up with? #Fail

Very true, I would be embarrassed to say how many of these lottery tickets I’ve invested in but lets just say its a lot. I mean A LOT.

I’m scared to ask… We bought about $20 worth of them at the office and didn’t win a thing.
