 ??? Yes, I play the lottery "sometimes" I am going to start back playing the big jackpot ones - mega money, "regular" lottery and powerball.  I do this periodically until I run out of the money to play Hey it may be a long shot but somebodies gonna win right?   :wave:

No, since I concur that lotteries are a tax on people who aren't good at math.
One can lead a horse to water however, if one holds the horse's head under, that horse will drown.

I only play when the people at work play. I don't think they will ever win but if they do I don't want to be sitting there by myself.

I dont. The probability of winning is almost negligible.

That's the only time I play the lottery as well.

I used to spend quite a bit of money on lottery and gambling. I haven't played in years though.

I agree with Falcon 9 on this one, it is primarily a tax on people who can't do math.  That being said, I play once or twice per year (when my math skills are temporarily fuzzy).

Yes, I play-- the free lotteries online. Believe it or not, you can actually win money LOL. The most I ever won was 100.00 , but last week I won 1.00 on one site and 5.00 on another-- both will send checks, and both have paid me before  :)

I do play either the Mega Million or the Powerball. I don't always play but, I try to play at least once in a week. Sometimes i play multiple plays so I don't miss any plays. I don't go hog wile on it either, I just play 2 numbers and that is it. I see some people go in and buy 50-100 dollars worth of tickets, that's crazy!!
