LOVE THIS.  I'm guilty of it too. I wait til it's like 300 million. Because really, who wants to win a measly 80 million right?

Nah, I don't play, can think of better things to do with my cash, but I don't begrudge anyone else who enjoys it. I've known a few people who have earned a little from it now and then.

Nope, I can never bring myself to buy any (no matter how much a part of me wants to).  I've been given a few as gifts, but none have ever won.

I would like to play once every two weeks.  I would spend about $5.00.  I just do not want it to become a bad habit.

I don't play it.  Years ago I would buy a ticket every once in a while, but always forgot to check for winning numbers.

I play the lottery sometime to. Not winning to many time. If I win I really only get even with what I spend. It a chance of you picking what they pick.  I still believe that the *bleep* they want to come up , is lighter then the other *bleep*  they want to stay down. I made be wrong, but this is what I thank.  :sad1:

We were around when the only way most people could gamble was buy a plane ticket and go to Las Vegas.  That was fun but now we have lotteries and casinos all over the place.  We do play the lottery and we enjoy having the opportunity.  We don't go to the casinos.  We won't continue with Powerball when they go to $2 but its been fun to throw a dollar towards the chance at millions and the hope has been worth the price.

I’ll buy a scratch off only if I have some extra money and that’s not to often.  ::)

Yes, I finally won $3.00 on a ticket.  At lease I know the numbers I am playing are in there somewhere.   ;D

I rarely play the lottery. However, both my husband's and my family use scratch-offs as stocking stuffers on Christmas, so that is really the only time I play. It never fails that I won't win anything and my youngest cousin banks the biggest win of the night.

       No! It is a waste of my time and money. You have to spend at least $1,000 on a three-numbers bet to win anything. And, there is no warranty you will get your hard earned $1,000 back.
Title: Re: Do you play the lottery?
Post by: Phx0808 on January 14, 2012, 04:57:36 am
Yep because I figure I always have a 50-50 chance, either I will win or I won't.

I just play the Powerball occasionally. Now I hear the ticket price is going up to $2. It'd be nice to win sometime.

I do like to play the lotto. Not regular but powerball. I try to play every drawing but they are changing it up so I guess we will see what the new one is like.

Post by: Joeyramone on January 14, 2012, 11:19:40 am
I read a study that proved on average if you saved the $1 a week that you would use for the lottery on average you would have more at the end of a 50 year span than if you played the lottery.  Of course that is just factoring in the averages.  That is the draw of the lottery... the chance of beating the odds and getting rich.  In reality, it is a tax on the non-taxpaying class (I won't call them the poor).  They disproportionately play the lottery compared to the rest of society.  I like it for that at least.

Only scratchcards. I just scratched off two yesterday and lost. The most I've ever won was $25 and that was awhile ago.

I play the lottery, but only when the pot is reasonably large (I would say 60 or higher). When I do participate I do this with my co-workers, so collectively we would have about $50 put into a game.

Wow, that's great! I used to play the lottery, about $20 a week, wheeling the same numbers. I decided I couldn't afford it any more and 3 weeks after I quit 5 out of 6 of my numbers came up, would have been $42,000. I quit ALL gambling for about 3 years, now I just play once in awhile.
