LOTTERY

Kobi · 03-12-2011, 02:09 PM

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 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. 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?
