I almost always shun the gambling games, but I was in a festive mood and had recently gotten a little gift card as a token of appreciation at work. After treating myself to 290 scratch cards and a few dozen spins on the slots, I now have 58 lottery tickets. Of course, I'm not holding my breath that any of those are winners, but even an extra Joker card next week would be a nice surprise.
FYI, the total cost of that splurge was ~$100 (one full recharge of 1320 credits). It resulted in the Joker card, 5 SECs (including Jia's card) and 68 miscellaneous cards of varying interest. No complaints since I got those SECs, got 4 cards from the slots at a 70% discount and discovered a few nice girls whose cards I otherwise would not have bought. However, I'm planning to "get back on the wagon" again and spend my next $100 just buying 81 cards from my wish list. (Now exactly where did I put my self control . . . 😐)
