[Noisebridge-discuss] win scratch-off lotteries: an easier, more reliable way

[Griffin Boyce]

I think we're mostly trying to determine if this particular weakness is
across-the-board (and therefore should be changed), or if it was a one-time
fluke.  I'm leaning towards widespread faults, due to the huge numbers of
people who are gaming the scratch-off lottery system in many different
areas.

Dumpster diving would be useful for finding empties to compare non-winning
ticket schemes, but around Atlantic City at least, I haven't seen any in the
garbage.  Most casinos use compactors, as do many grocery stores.
