    What kind of freak out are we talking? Angry yelling? Depressed crying? The classic drunken mix of both?

    I too hope to see something like that.

    something like this:

    "MOTHER FUUUCCCCCCK!!!
    THIS IS FUCKING BULLSHIT! FUCK 3 FLOYDS! CANT FUCKING BELIEVE THIS FUCKING SHIT!!
    <insert more "fuck" and/or "shit">
    "

    Dood was wasted too. Was so funny.

    I have been going since 2011. I personally have never won a scratch off. The person I was with two years ago won the scratch off so for tickets that I have purchased it makes "me" 1/8 but I am still 0/4

    Yeah, this was what came to mind as skeeviest beer story I've ever heard. Is this why I now see "original wax" in some trade posts?

    If you see this again this year, it must get on video.

    Probably? Not like you can't Bic the wax into looking acceptable.

    If a robust beer secondary market ever develops (as in, legit auction houses and not just *), expect to see things like this become common.

    The odds are in favor of you NOT winning. Does this guy's world shatter when he doesn't win the Powerball too? I'd like to believe his outburst was due to alcohol, but he's probably just as stupid sober.

    Being that Akvavit is such a Scandinavian taste, I'm hoping that was some stock sent exclusively to WarPigs. I recall last year, I seem to think they had some Moscatel DL for sale at the kiosk at some point prior to DLD. Hoping this is just some hype-building.

    Yeah, my thought ever year is it's fun to win but if I don't, it's just $50 less I'll be spending that day.

    To be fair, the odds are closer to "win free scratch off" than winning the power ball.

    They made me scratch mine off at the regular DL table.

    2 years back there was a kid having a meltdown on the ground where you exit from purchasing your bottles. Screaming, crying, snot running down his face, people consoling him...I was convinced he had just lost his parents until I saw the torn up golden ticket on the ground next to him.

    They sold moscatel on the IP ticket sale date. But more so because they had 550 bottles sitting around and not in an effort to build hype, actually it killed the hype on that beer. This was also around the time they had several cellar clearing sales.

    Fantastic lol.

    I wonder how many years in a row he's been skunked on the Golden Ticket.

    I'm hoping not many, since it doesn't sound like he should be that far above legal age.

    FWIW all, I purchased Gen Ad. tickets for DLD, slowest mailing option possible (whichever was free/cheapest), and just received an email that my tickets are on the way.

    I lost in 2011, but have won every year since 2012. I suppose I am due to lose again :slight_frown:

    Yup, everyone was trying to trade that one away after that. The trade value plummeted big time after they sold more.

    Unfortunately, I traded for one prior to that, and thought I got a good deal at the time.

    Good to hear! I also chose the snail option. Still waiting for my email though.
