Sometimes people will throw Lottery tickets in a with a card as part of a gift. For two reasons this is just plain crazy to me.
1. If that person doesn't win anything, you have just given them a useless piece of paper. What kind of gift is that? It's like giving them nothing.
2. What if they do win? What if they win big? Let's say $100,0000. That could have been you! All you had to do was keep the ticket for yourself. I wouldn't be able to handle that. I would eventually go crazy living with that on my mind.
So take my advice. The next time you are running short on time and think about slipping in some lottery tickets with your gift...... Don't! Just give the person the $1.00 you would have spent on it and save your sanity.
