I've played in a pool for years so we have tickets and I bought us a few extra from extra pool money we have. I have 2 tickets on my own and this afternoon my sister and 2 BFF'S and I did our own little pool. 5 tickets for Powerball, 5 for Mega Millions for 2 nights. We chipped in $10 each.

Being the eternal optimist and thinking surely I will win, I don't buy any anymore. Tired of being disappointed. I know its naiive to think you will win but as others have said, its fun to dream.
The other day, I went in a store for a rare time and was kind of saddened to see all the people in line for tickets (another reason not to go into a store and buy a ticket during this ultra contageous virus!)
Why sad? Because these people most in what looked like clothes worn for a year, could probably so have used any money at all!
Sometimes I feel so lucky to have what I have and so sorry there is so much difference in the way we all are able to live. From mega mansions, to no home at all.
Sorry, just seeming to see it every day.

I won $8.00 in last night's Mega drawing. Have 1 ticket with power play for tonight's drawing of Power Ball. I'm glad I won the $8.00.

Back when they first opened the lottery in CA one of the recently retired engineers from the base where I worked found out he won 6 million dollars. He found out while he was visiting Las Vegas. He put ticket in hotel wall safe, took a couple of days to figure out his plan of action and then claimed his prize. I didn't know him but DH did and later pointed him out in grocery store, doing his shopping. He looked just like anybody but had on really nice running shoes. As a retired Federal employee, I hope I'd handle it with the grace he did. Later I worked with a gal whose BIL won 7-8 million; so it does happen.

Our problem is we don't buy just 1 or 2. So we don't buy any. Like I said on another conversation similar to this, you only feel stupid when you lose so.......

@Anonymous032819 ~ No casinos, Lottery, Mega Millions, or Power Ball in Alaska. That just stinks, to say the least. 🙁
Much good luck to everyone!🍀 🙋🏻♀️
ETA...No going to casinos for now, either! 😥

I only buy up to 10 tickets, never more than that. I only play when its huge. Otherwise its not on my mind to do so.
I never feel stupid for playing. Someone has to win eventually. Might as well be you or me.
I may be one of those at the store dressed as if for a year. Saturday is chore day and I usually dress sloppy, dont do makeup and rarely a bra lol but might run to the store hoping I dont run into anyone I know.

I don't feel stupid when I loose.
In fact, I expect to loose.
The fun comes in the possibility of winning, no matter how remote that chance is, and dreaming about what to do with all of that money.
There is nothing "stupid" about that .
