Millions of Lottery Tickets throughout the world go into the Trash, only a few get to be recycled into Millions of Dollars.
Several States are promoting Recycle and Win (Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts) but millions of lottery tickets are sold weekly and most land up in the trash, not even recycled.
Two artists, Lauren Was and Adam Eckstrom have created art from reclaimed lottery tickets. Dream sculptures, wall paper, are and even furniture decor. Their website is called Ghost of a Dream, which buying lottery tickets is.
