Okay, so I got this idea stuck in my head: could I use a simple lottery ticket to represent numbers 1 through 36? You know, those scratch-off things you get at the gas station? I figured, why not give it a shot?
First, I grabbed a lottery ticket. Any kind would do, I just needed one with enough spots to scratch. Luckily, I got one,it has numbers from 1 to *!
My Little Experiment
Next, I needed a way to mark the numbers. I didn’t want to actually scratch the ticket, ’cause then I’d ruin it for, you know, potentially winning money. So, I decided to use a little piece of clear tape and a marker.

- Step 1: I carefully placed the small piece of tape over each number.
- Step 2: Then I used the marker to color over the tape.
This way, I could “mark” each number without actually damaging the ticket. Pretty clever, huh? I started with number 1 and worked my way up. It was kinda tedious, but I kept going. It’s like a weird meditation or something.
I went through each number, one by one, marking my little piece of tape. 1, 2, 3… all the way to 36. It took a bit of time, but finally, I finished!
So there you have it. I successfully represented numbers 1 through 36 using a lottery ticket and some household supplies. Not the most practical way to do it, I admit, but it was a fun little project. And hey, the ticket’s still valid, so maybe I’ll win something! Wish me luck!
