You walked into whats called a flat store in the carnival buissness.
What was the name of the carnival and what state was it in.
most states will not allow you set up a flat store it carries prison time,however
in states like NY,Florida,also Purto rico allow these type of rip offs.
Take a walk through an Italian Feast in NYC,nothing but flat stores they get guys for thousands.
And in case you don't know what a flat store is, its a carnival game usually using numbers
where you have to score a certain amount of points,but you will always be a number away from the prize
and your money back...thus FLAT OUT CAN'T WIN.
P.T Barnum had saying........and unfortunatly your it this time.
