Do they keep track of scratchoff tickets? Like if you stole 100 of them would they know which ones were gone and be able to catch you when you tried to cash them in?

Because even though you might not make a lot, it would be fun to have unlimited scratchoffs

Yeah, they keep track of them. Stealing lottery tickets won't work.

What easy to steal, difficult to trace item is easiest to steal then?

Stop time when an armored truck is making a delivery, swipe a bag of cash. Use cash to play casino games or buy scratch off tickets or something.

Have a trusted loved one go to Vegas and bet against the Patriots with a bunch of stolen cash. Meanwhile, you buy a ticket to the game. When Tom Brady is being tackled, stop time, then go on the field and demolish his knees with a tire iron.

If the team you bet on is still losing, repeat with other star players until they aren't losing anymore.

I've always imagined doing this for basketball or golf, just chuck up a shot and freeze time to make it go in, best sportsman in the world

If you become famous like that, people will analyse the videos of your impossible shots and prove that something funny is going on.

The power to manipulate time while still being affected physically by your manipulation sounds excruciating. Say you slow time down to like .00000001s/s, you'd have to spend literal thousands of realtime minutes just processing the thought that you want time to go back to normal speed.

No, the only subjective measure of how fast or slowly time passes are your thoughts. If your thoughts slow down when time slows down, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference. You can't think and have feelings about how long it's taking to create a thought. Those thoughts take the same amount of time.

Basically, if your thoughts are tied to the real world passage of time, like they are in real life, you can't tell when time is slowing down or speeding up.
