Enjoying California’s Hot Streak

California has the most intense Instant Win Lotto tickets imaginable. Seriously, this “Hot Streak/6 Games To Play” ticket is the complex conjugate root theorem of gambling. Just look at it!

My parents aren’t hoarders. I’m not saying my parents are hoarders. That’s not what I’m saying.* What I’m saying is, my parents have…tendencies. They like to accumulate stuff. I do, too.
