Your odds of getting a “Kwikie” are now zero says the Bangor Daily News. The Maine state lottery was testing out “Kwikie” as the new name for its new scratch off tickets. But after receiving many complaints that the name brought to mind a “short sexual encounter,” instead of a lottery ticket, the name was scrapped. The Daily News says most of the opposition came from merchants, who were uncomfortable offering up a ‘Kwikie’—or two or three—whenever they were asked.
