When I was 13 (the 1980s) or so, my buddy and I used to skate around looking for stuff to build a fort out of. We went dumpster diving at an old business park. We didn’t find fort worthy material. What we did find were garbage bags full of lottery tickets.
Of course we skated away with them every bag to his garage. All the lotto tickets were winners. But we started noticing some were not punched with a hole. We went through thousands of tickets and 1 out of every 200-300 were not holed.
We somehow convinced his dad to turn them into a local gas station for us. I remember his dad being kind of excited about it. He was quite a character.
We went back to the same dumpster two more times, the third time. Padlock.
I think we both walked away with $1000+ that summer. New skateboards are totally rad.
