High rollers

So I get on the bus today and at the next stop after mine a bunch of ladies get on.  They start talking about how busy it is downtown and wondering why.  One says, "no one won the lottery as a person in NYC did".  Ok...let me see if I follow that logic: if someone in Seattle had won the lottery, that would explain why it was busy?  Pretty sure if that was the case, I dont think a lottery winner would be handing out their winnings to strangers in the city.

They then start talking about how they dont play the lottery as they couldnt imagine giving a winner one of their hard earned dollars.  I can understand that logic.  I was just about to stop paying attention as they weren't that crazy, when one of them said the following: "I can win much more in the casino".  Again ladies, let me see if I can catch myself up with your logic...you would rather spend $20 to win $100 versus spending $1 for the lotto to win multi-millions.  I understand your odds are better with the casino, but lets re-phrase that last statement.  Then they start bragging about how much they win. "I won $200 the other day." "I hit 5 jackpots in a row on the slots"  Ok ladies, now I am going to have to call BS on these statements.  Neither of you is wearing clean clothes and your last shower, I am sure, is a distant memory.  If you are winning all this money, you sure have an interesting way of spending it.  Not that it is a bad thing...hell, I get an extra $100 and I am at Nordstrom.
