Pre-Answer: Three Words (6-letters) (3-letters) (6-letters)
Answer: DOLLAR FOR DOLLAR
(Dollars to donuts this is an urban scene, as opposed to a suburban or rural one! It’s mainly in the cities that you get a clerk behind a piece of plexiglass. But folks play the lottery just about everywhere, especially when the jackpots grow into these insane amounts. Even though I don’t care for gambling, I’ll jump on board occasionally. The odds of winning the grand prize are ridiculously long, and even winning some of the much lesser prizes are tough to come by. I used to win $2 or $4 bucks every now and then, but the last few ones I’ve played have gotten me goose-eggs! I think if I do play again, I’ll just play a single game. Your odds do NOT improve when you play more games.
We have what looks like another new clue word to add to the world famous ralis95 clue word database, in SCURRY. Now, it is possible, prior to the L.A. Times carrying the Sunday Jumble, that we have had it some time ago, in an earlier Sunday Jumble, but I cannot confirm this. The jumble is definitely new, along with four others. But we have surely seen “ahinel” in previous Jumbles. The final answer layout was a fantastic fifteen letter jumble. All the L’s and O’s and R’s and D’s made for a very quick solve though.
Great cartoon of people queuing up to pay for their lottery tickets, energy drinks and coffees and such. I never cared much for the Susan B. Anthony dollars. They were too easily confused for a quarter. I much preferred the Sacagawea dollars. The color alone made them stand out. It’s been a while now since I’ve seen either one. I guess neither one really caught on with the general public. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR
