LOTTERY
Do you play the lottery? Buy scratch offs? How often...how much...have you ever won? If you don't play, is there a reason...religion..wasteful...What are your lottery thoughts? I think we have a thread on what would you do if you won the lottery, but I haven't seen a lottery discussion or opinion thread.

We try to remember to buy a ticket for every Super Lotto drawing. They are drawn Saturday and Wednesday. I would say we manage to have a ticket about half the time. :|
There are a lot of things we could waste money on such as Starbucks, fast food, alcohol, etc. We prefer to spend it on something that may pay back. We won $10 once and $1 a couple of times. My co-workers and I also go in together and buy tickets when the pot is really large. Andrea |
I play 2 games with decent odds on a regular basis with my trusty someday we will win consistent numbers. Most I have won is 250. Will buy a powerball or megamillions if there is an incredible jackpot. The odds are awful so 1 ticket will do. Not fond of scratch tickets - they are messy. I justify all this as a way to offset more imposed taxes with a potential payoff. :blink: |
Scratchoffs for me. Have won as much as 500 or more. I play maybe twice a month.

I play Powerball with powerplay about 4 times a month. I figure if I'm going to win, I may as well win it big.

I play one lotto twice a week. I don't buy any more if there's a big pot, and very seldom buy any others. I don't like scratch tickets - I feel like I've most likely lost before I even buy them! At least when there's a draw I have that tiny chance remains. :vigil: I've won around $80 a couple of times, and smaller prizes on a regular basis.
Different people have scorned my lottery fun saying it's a voluntary tax. Well, believe me - in Canada it's the smokers and drinkers that pay the lion's share! And lotto winnings are tax-free here, soooooo..... ;) Good luck everybody! :) |
back when I played the Ohio lottery I won $400 on the pick 3.
I am not much of a lottery player. I have seen people come into stores and play huge amounts of money on a daily basis and not win much ever. Its so very sad. My own mother had a gambling addiction. I can see it in the eyes of people in the lines at the stores. People who buy clearance shirts and polyester pants and wash them once every two weeks will spend $50 to $100 a day on the lottery when they are on disability or SS, hoping to win it big. I ache for them. Chasing that fix like every big addiction. Of course, I have also seen people with hanging gold mines around their necks and on their fingers and wearing flashy clothes that cost more than my car, spend enough on a day's worth of lottery tickets than my house is worth...so income isnt a factor to addiction, now is it? |
Sure.I think there should be a lottery for most everything Homes..cars...jobs.. taxes...like..waitaminute.. there already is!:confused:
|
I keep saying "well when I win the lottery..." but in all honesty I can never remember to buy a ticket...lol
I do get the scratch-offs on occasion. I do well with them usually, and always win at least $2 or another ticket. :) |
I won $1198 on the Play Four a few years back and have also won varying amounts on scratch-offs and on the lottery itself...but never the big win, at least not yet. ;)

Sometimes I buy a powerball ticket sometimes I don't. Sometimes I buy 5 or 10. Have won a few bucks here and there. Mostly I buy scratch offs. Same way, sometimes I'll go months without buying one, then sometimes I'll buy several a week. I mostly buy $3 tickets and back when I was making good money I'd buy $5 and $10 tickets. I've won a good bit on scratch offs but not won large amounts at the time.

I've played it like 5 times in my life.

Wow, what a coincidence that this thread is here ............
I asked My dad to buy Me some scratch tickets tonight ($42 in total, 7 tickets all together). I do this once in awhile when I have a few extra dollars, so he got Me them and I've scratched four so far and won ........... *but* here is the kicker, I've won a total so far of $115 with three more to scratch :blink: :seeingstars: :twitch: :thumbsup: :clap: :greendollar: :thud: :goodscore: :dance2: |
