Check this out!
This guy, James, is an Uber driver in the Denver area. Not too long ago, a passenger gave James a five dollar scratch off lottery ticket as a tip. James won 30 bucks and invested it back into more tickets.
And as he kept winning, he kept buying more tickets. For six weeks.
At the end of those six weeks, James called it quits, because he purchased a winning ticket worth $140,000!
Congratulations, James!
An Uber driver is hoping he will one day give a second ride to the person who helped him win $14,000.

I haven't bought one in years. I need to start getting them again.

@teamfreak16 and yet, how do you explain those that bought a ticket for the first time and won? while others bet all their life and never won big?

@hereandthere - Or the people who win big twice. There's someone in Pueblo that's hit big twice.

I guess he figured it was free money to begin with and kept playing. Paid off big-time!

I know. I probably would have just kept the thirty bucks.

@Daelii - We were betting on horses in a bar in Denver one night. My friend won almost three hundred bucks on the first race. Instead of walking away, he lost it, and $900 of his own money during the rest of the night.

I know. I probably would have done the same thing. Now I know why I always see people in line ahead of me keep trading in winners for more tickets.

@teamfreak16 Indeed. I may have to rethink my strategy.

That guy has about the best luck you can get right there. Good for him though.
