Do you buy instant lottery tickets?

[DwanaMR]

No.  Waste of money.

I usually don't and by usually I mean next to never. My dad buys them and has lost way more than he's won and refuses to listen to me when I ask him if he sees a pattern here. To those of you who have the same problem but might listen to reason I offer this idea. Why don't you take that dollar or two dollars and put it into an envelope, call it scratch ticket money or something so that after a month, instead of having nothing, you'll have thirty dollars! when I feel lucky, I play for money on GSN or winloot. Both sites are free and if you never win (like me) at least all you'll lose is time. I should add, at least on GSN I have won the first season of Happy Days on dvd and a bag of candy corn pumpkins which still beats playing lottery and scratch tickets.

Thanks for that Common Sense approach to the Lottery and I agree completely. I hate waving bye bye to my money. We do go to the Casino for the buffet once in a while and I just shake my head at all those SUCKERS pushing those buttons so fast. Even if they win, you know where it will end up. How can that possibly be entertaining? I stick to clicking my mouse where I KNOW I will win every single time.

It's been years since I've bought a scratchoff ticket, or any kind of lottery ticket. I'm not a gambler; I'd rather have the actual money in my hand than a very slim chance of winning some.

[Screwedupclick4life337]

Lol it's been along time since I did

[tuyetmai]

Yes.  Sometime I just want to have a quick pick. 

[minioncookies]

yes i do because i like to test my luck

[cateyes1]

I don't buy lottery tickets at all, if I won big i'd be hooked and that not a good thing

[bazodee]

I dont tend to buy lottery tickets unless there is a big draw then I might purchase a ticket just for the heck of it,even tho I have a better chance of getting struck by lightning.But then u cant have any chance of winning by not buyng a ticket, I knew someone who won a million dollars of a scratch ticket.

[ghunter]

Yes, I do.  I try to buy one or two every payday for the fun of it and sometimes I am lucky and win a few bucks.

I never buy lottery tickets, but my husband does.  I like your suggestion of putting the $2-$5 or whatever it is that he spends on those lottery tickets into an envelope.  A night out for meal would be ever so much more enjoyable!!

[cjcassada]

I buy lottery tickets every once in a while. I usually stick with the $1 and $2 tickets. I take spells with how much I win. Most of the time I don't win anything, other times it may be 1, 2, 5, or 20 dollars. The most I ever won from a scratch ticket is $100.

[kingozzy]

I do the quick picks yes, I buy two a week most of the time for the Power Ball.  Better check my numbers from last night.

[myfreebees316]

I usually stick to the 1-2 dollar tickets
