Use Grits' comments to suggest other objections or comments people might make to the producers of new Texas Lottery games. If they're specific to these games, all the better. Alternatively, suggest criminal-justice themed names for Texas Lottery games. Be creative, people, give those lottery folks some options.
How about a game called Pot Power where the pitch is every ticket purchased is a vote for legal pot.
ReplyDeleteOkay, Here is my contribution. I've given this a lot of thought, probably a minute and a half or so. The recent rains, combined with the warm weather, have turned my garden and yard into a mosquito hatchery. Probably true in a lot of CenTex places.
ReplyDeleteSo, how about a scratch lottery based on a mosquito meme?
This one would be outside the usual approach, in that winnings would almost always be had, but small winnings. Rather than the big time stuff, have a lot, I mean thousands, of 20 or 30 dollar winnings. So that when you scratch a mosquito bite on the lottery card, you have a really good chance to get something for it other than a rash.
I can tell right now that I may not pass the "are you a robot" test. I can't distinguish the letter or numbers, they are so vague and blurry. Grits, do something about your gate keepers.
okay, robot test No. 2. Are you kidding??? Its one of those 3-d optical things. C'mon
Hey, it worked.
ReplyDeleteCops & Robbers

Don't Mess with Texas.
Scratch and reveal three trash cans to win. In order to buy a Lotto you have to turn in a dud card. Keeps the non-winning cards off the streets. That's all I Got.
Police Lotto: Good Cop/Bad Cop
ReplyDelete12 rotating options to scratch, all images of cops.
2 are good cops, your case is solved. You get paid. High stakes, high payout.
8 cops are just regular cops. Your case goes on a pile somewhere in the bowels of bureaucracy and remains unsolved. Better luck next time.
2 are bad cops. You lose. Scratching off one of these activates a RFID in the lottery ticket and police officers (or coming soon: drones? robots?) show up with lights and sirens blaring to issue an actual, physical beating to the ticketholder, leaving behind nothing but a week's worth of bruises and a Class C ticket for public intoxication, whether or not you've been drinking.
This might require an interlocal agreement with various local law enforcement to administer the beatings. There are still details to work out. Would put some pizzazz back into the lottery, though. :)
Okay, I have a shitload more but this is it, I promise. Grits, thanks for allowing us to play.
