LOTTERY

Soft*Silver · 03-12-2011, 06:05 PM

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?

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.

LOL I keep saying that same thing....when I win.....I'll tell ya though even if you don't win powerball, if you win a larger amount on a scratch off or one of the other games they tax the hell out of it. I had a friend who was a single mom of 2 and she won 20G on a scratch off, that was like a million bucks to her, she only got like 12G of it.

That would be grand!

(Clarification: when I said sad that this is your only claim to fame, I meant, sad that it is MY only claim to fame - never having bought a lottery ticket)
