Goq~ seriously. did you expect me NOT to chime in on this topic, lol? 😉
my experience: when I had a good quantity of tickets, I used to bring my own mailing labels; if they were large, I’d cut them down @ home. once, I actually brought scissors w/ me to an auction, lol! another two times, I ripped them smaller by hand @ the auction. lately I, more often than not, just do my orders online, but when I do attend a select few in person, I write out the tickets, cuz I’m dealing with a smaller quantity.
the only way I can imagine trying to use labels to one’s advantage would be: that they’d be ‘heavier’ & the ‘picker’ reaches down towards the bottom?
as we know, folded tickets are disqualified; but I knew someone who I thought was sort of bending the edge down a little?? I considered that cheating. that same person seems to always wait ’til the last moment to place in her tickets… I’m sure that’s a strategy in her mind. <selicha!!>
no matter what, I never put in more than one ticket per prize. I am a firm believer that if it’s meant for you to win, you will.
