I would rather throw money in the trash can than give my money away to a lottery.

We don't play often.  We played and didn't win the other day and I was kind of bummed especially since my husband and I had talked all about what we wanted. :sad1:

  No I don't play the lottery, and that really makes my dream of winning the lottery that much harder  :BangHead:

I buy a power ball ticket every once and while.  I don't have any luck with it.  I wish I could win big and I could retire again.  I am 71 now and still able to work but I would love to have the time and money to travel here and abroad.  Hope someday I can.  Hope everyone has a great weekend and may God bless each of you and keep you safe.

I try to win on scratch off tickets every so often, just for fun.  But in general, no, I don't play the lottery.  The odds of winning are so low that it doesn't make sense to do so.

I do play as well. Personally, I don't really think it's a waste of money per se, I can shed a dollar every now and then, I could even shed that same dollar weekly and not miss it, and if you come here trying to tell me to do the math, that it's 4 bucks per month, 48 bucks per year, or so, etc, etc, etc. that I could have spent it on something else, well, yeah, but that same principle can be applied to almost anything not absolutely needed; i.e. do you really need to spend 40 bucks at a movie theater? Do you absolutely need any perfume or cologne? Do you really need to take the kids to disneyland? I can make that very same argument for many things that people think is necessary and or convenient, or just don't think is "wasting". That being said, I do spend $40 bucks at the movies, and I buy myself some nice colognes, and I do spend some money on lottery, or some other things I like; my point is if you can afford it, and not miss that money, then it isn't a waste by any stretch of the imagination.

I have 2 rows of numbers and my husband has a row of numbers that we play for all the drawings on the Texas Lottery.  We've had these same numbers since the lottery started in our state and they say that if you play the same numbers for 10 years or more your odds of winning are greatly improved.  Well, we are overdue lol!!  We very seldom play any of the other games but just every now and again.  My husband usually buys me a cheaper scratch-off every day but most of the time I strike out on those too.  Just enjoy scratching.  Now, when we travel (which isn't that often) we usally buy quick-picks along the way.  My sister and I are going on vacation starting next saturday and every state we go thru that has a lottery, I'll buy quick picks just for the heck of it.  I'm not positive but I think Ms has lottery and I know Ga does and so does SC, which is where we are going.  Anyway, hope I'll have some good luck along the way.

I do play sometimes but not as often as I used to. I don't have the money to spare or lose. I should play though cuz if you don't you never get the chance of winning
