Dumb Luck Detour Multi-cache

This cache has been archived.

globalgirl: As predicted, after 5+ years, nearly 300 smiley finds, and countless Dumb Luck Detour tickets scratched... this gg honey is now history.

Thanks to the singular g, all containers have been prudently picked up and... stay tuned for a new nifty [url=http://www.geocaching.com/profile/?guid=00da1edc-db42-4cb5-8ae1-67ab020c557a]grossi[/url] hide in its place.

Thanks to all who took the Dumb Luck challenge, and especially to those who voted this one a "favorite". It's surely been a fun ride!

Geocache Description:

As our pal Google would say - are ya feeling lucky?

Dumb Luck Scratch Ticket BORDER= Then try this simple cache where you’ll find a stash of scratch-off lottery tickets.  Just grab a ticket, scratch and see where it leads.  All will get you to the prize.  If you’re lucky, you’ll head straight to the cache.  But some... will first take a bit of a "Dumb Luck Detour".

Please take but one ticket. Not only is it not sporting, but useless to scratch greedy.  I will periodically refresh the ticket stash, but at any given moment, your chances of avoiding the detour are... approximately 0% - 100%!

Do please note in your log whether you got lucky or stumbled onto the cache by way of the Dumb Luck Detour.  The final cache is small plastic jar filled with trinkets for trading.

10/26/05 Update:  Puleeeeze folks, do take care.  I just had to replace all the scratch tickets at wpt 1 'cuz the lid wasn't closed tightly and the container was full of water.  These pretty little tickets are a good bit of trouble and expense to make, so please take just one ticket per caching group and do please make sure that the container lid is screwed tightly closed.  Tuck it back in place and be sure it's not visible by passing muggles.

So too, the final cache went missing and I just replaced all with a new tupperware container filled with a few new trading trinkets.  Here too, please be sure to rehide it carefully and ensure it's not visible to passing muggles - THANKS!
