Stupid Jumbo lottery

I was convinced that this was my year. I have bought Jumbo lottery tickets every year for the past few years... and have only won 300 yen once. That was last year when I figured out you need to buy a full book of 10 tickets to guarantee you will win 300 yen (they are in order so you are guranteed to get the last number on one of your tickets).

Jumbo lottery tickets are offered three or four times a year and they have really big prizes. Usually the lotto tickets here have fairly low payouts. So lots of people buy these. I always get the ones that come out at New Year in hopes that I will start the new year off as a millionaire.

Of course I was shafted again. Someone picked the wrong number because it wasn't anywhere close to the numbers I had. *sigh* Maybe I should stick to the casino.
