My husband took over his parents finances after his father was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s in 2024, discovering that his father had been hiding an extensive, dementia-fueled gambling addiction. We soon uncovered several boxes of spent scratch-off lottery tickets, totaling hundreds of thousands of dollars. I started making these quilts as heirloom pieces for my own family. But, they also have a deeper, broader significance. One that questions what the United States’ capitalist society is leaving as legacy. This quilt is constructed of approximately 136 $50 Ohio Lottery Tickets (totaling $6800). It’s design is an abstracted form of a traditional God’s Eye pattern, symbolizing the power of seeing and understanding that which is hidden.
