I Hate Traditions

Okay my birthday is the 19th. I got some birthday cards in the mail. But I was just thinking an average Birthday card/Christmas Card or basically any card will cost you an average of about 2-4 dollars. So I thought why send a shiny piece of paper from a multimillion dollar business for something shiny with a cute saying. Why not spend 2-4 or even 10 dollars on lottery tickets scratch off or drawings and give a relative a possible gift of up to millions of dollars. Yes you could inclose in the envelope a personal letter because after all don't you use the card for your best wishes when you write on them. Damn wouldn't it be awesome if you saw on a YouTube that a person in the hospital was sent lottery tickets instead of a card that they would eventually throw away, and they won the lottery. Great story right as they say you can't win if you don't play. Also can you imagine the revenues all these tickets bought for each of our states and schools. I'm sure many of the multimillion dollar Greeting Card makers would hate this idea. Only because logically it could be more bang for your bucks for those you love...
