LOTTERY

Blade · 03-12-2011, 01:23 PM

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.

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.

Scratchoffs for me. Have won as much as 500 or more. I play maybe twice a month.

I may be playing the wrong game. $500?

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.

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.

The_Lady_Snow · 03-12-2011, 10:09 PM

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

We play from time to time. We do the drawings, not the scratch offs, though I used to do the scratch offs.

When I lived in Daytona, I bought one on a lark one day and won some cash and then won some more and then...on and on...until about 3 to 3.5 months later, when I picked a dud. Then I stopped. All in all, during the time frame I got about 10 free scratch offs and somewhere in the vicinity of $300 in cash.

We've won the lottery a couple of times. Once, was a couple of bucks and the other was about $9.

My coworkers on the other hand, tend to be very lucky. Past coworkers, I should specify. I had one that would take a twenty into the casinos and walk away with a thousand, regularly. It was how she was able to stay afloat when her husband got hurt and couldn't work. There was another one who'd won the lottery a couple of times. Not the whole kit 'n caboodle, but a few thousand each time.

Must be nice.

Ebon and I won the lottery last night.

He won a dollar and I won a dollar, but I'm keeping both since I was the one who went out and got the tickets.

Seems fair to me...
