Do You Ever Buy A Lottery Ticket?

CrazyKittyLvr2 · ‎05-11-2013

About 3 times a year I spring for the $2 to buy a Mega Millions or Powerball ticket. Both games are over 400 million bucks.

I have never been in a casino and have no desire to go, I don't bet on horses or play cards for money. $6 a year is my limit, as the phrase a snow ball's chance in he88 runs through my head.

We missed $750,000 by 1 number a few years ago. Had 4 numbers and the 5th number was 9, we had an 8.

BTW, I'd give 90% of it away and love every minute of doing it.

I have never bought a lottery ticket. I realize that millions of people do, personal choice.

i also purchase scratchers for christmas and birthdays for my kids.

Yes, when it gets to $500 million. One ticket only. When I go to a casino and play video poker, it's my goal to make $10 last as long as possible. I'm not a gambler!!!

No, I don't. But I'm thankful for people that do; the profits go to worthy causes.

I do on a very rare occassion. Only went to a casino once probably over 30 years ago. Had a budget and came out $6.00 ahead.

Sure occasionally, if the jackpot is super high. Sometimes do scratch offs. Have been to casinos a few times with husband's family. However I value money too much to be a serious gambler.
