This is obvious.

When I was at KumoriCon 2013 this Labor Day weekend in Vancouver, WA, I won $20 with a $1 scratch ticket.

Once I won back the price of my ticket! WooHoo! Not bad, considering I've only ever bought two tickets in my life.

I know the odds, so I don't play lotteries. After I've been struck by lightening for the third time (I'm still waiting for the first), I'll start buying lotto tickets.

On the first night of the UK National lottery i worked out that that the probable average of 6 numbers between 1 & 49, would be 24.5. Based upon that, the most probable sum of 6 numbers is 147. As 24.5 isn't a whole number, I further broke it down into the numbers that were the closest to whole numbers.
I cannot recall what numbers they were as I destroyed my work, but what I do remember is that 13 was the most likely number.

As of today, I have broken my previous record of $20 set during KumoriCon Labor Day Weekend- the new record for me is $31! I bought two $1 scratch tickets, and won $30 and $1 out of them!

I choose the actor. I observe NT's. I listen to their socializing. I practice it, so in social situations I can just emulate/mimic what is expected.
It isn't natural for me, but it enables me to "fit in".
It is VERY tiring and draining, but at least we can appear like them even though it is an act. Like being on the stage.
They can't see it is emulation, and so we are accepted.

Probably no more than $10; I don't even remember anymore. When I was about 10, my aunt acquiesced to buying some of the scratch cards for my cousins and I at a gas station, and we collectively didn't end up winning much at all. I haven't bought another ticket or scratch card since. :lol:
