Compulsive gambling + Boston Bruins = Win?

With the trend of Red Sox, Patriots, and Celtics scratch tickets popping up around Massachusetts and other New England regions the last few years, it was only a matter of time before the Bruins got their own. Well, ta-da Massachusettes state lottery announced its newest addition today with the B's and their own scratch and win.

To be honest, I don't particularly like gambling. But only because I've seen how it can ruin people first hand. I also think more or less, it's a great waste of money. However, with all that said ... this is awfully tempting. As a borderline broke college student who will have accumulated quite the debt in my last three years going to an out-of-state school such as Iowa, this can't necessarily be the best thing.

But hey, one of the prizes includes season tickets for a decade. Well jeez, how can I pass an opportunity like that?
