I don't, I'm rather unlucky when it comes to winning anything. Good luck, and don't forget your old pal Onion when you win big

The lottery has ruined many a good man. Some have won big, only to splurge all of their winnings in a short time. After that they are worse off than they were before their win because of their taste of luxurious wealth. That, or spend all of their money on trying to win.

I personally wouldn't ever play because I would be one of those poor unlucky people who spend all their time, energy and money on trying to win the big one. To me, money isn't what matters. I wouldn't be able to fit into the upper crust of society because I am not "refined" or "cultured" in their eyes. I am much happier being poor and happy. I belong where I am, though the huge sums of it offered in the lottery are very enticing.

I am reminded of a story about a waitress serving a customer in a roadside diner and the costumer asking if she would accept a lottery ticket as a tip. She and he then agreed that if the ticket was a winner, they would split the winnings. They then went their separate ways, only to have the ticket be the winning one in the lottery some time later. The waitress, true to her promise, tracked down the costumer and split the winnings. They've been friends ever since. I think its since been made into a movie.

I don't play the lotto...My dad buys tickets every once in a while when he had a dream with numbers hahah but obviously his winnings haven't exceeded 20$ if I'm not mistaken.
Thing is, whenever I read about people winning the lotto it's usually old people that have played their entire lifetime andddd that spent on lotto tickets approximately the same amount of money they ended up winning. I'd rather throw the money in a jar and wait for it to hit a million (more chances of that happening than me winning the lotto)

I don't play, can't afford to throw money at something that will probably only pay back 0.000001% of what you spend. Unless of course you win the jackpot Like that'll happen.

I do scratch offs sometimes, but I'm lucky if I win my money back from them.
