    Do you play the lottery?

    I keep thinking I should by a lottery ticket but then never do. Every once in the blue moon I get a couple. My mother in law plays every single week and has just won her first £80. She is too excited for me to point out she has spent way more than £80 to win. Still, as they say, you can't win if you don't play.

        I can't stand that every time I go into my local convenience store, there's always at least 5 morons ahead of me in line, buying lottery tickets -- reading off numbers they hand picked, like that fucking matters. Some of them buy those scratch tickets, then scratch them off right at the register, so I have to push the zombie out of my fucking way.

        It's gambling for retards. They should just make real gambling legal, so all of these mongoloids can blow their money somewhere other than where I buy my newspaper.

          i hear if you play the lottery every week then its unlikely you'll win until 270,000 years have passed

          yes i play

          just one line, one encore ($3 ticket) because like you said, can't win if you don't play!

            If the Euro Millions hits insane numbers I throw a couple of tickets on. Generally tho I don't play it.

            About 11 years ago my mum got 5 numbers on the lottery tho and won almost £2000.

            More recently about 7 years ago my Dad didnt put his usual weekly ticket on and with the Jackpot at £20,000,000 his numbers came up. He played it every week since the birth of his son to my step mum and the one week he forgot his numbers come in. 2 people shared the 20 million but it should have been 3. The numbers he played every week were to do with his sons birthday and so on. He still thinks about it to this day as well.

                  I get some scratch offs sometime for fun, not thinking it will seriously lead to anything. Some people do get lucky. Saw a story about a woman who won a million on a scratch off and continued playing. She won another million from the same store with another scratch off. What the hell are the odds of that do you think??

                          Nope, my father and brother in law play all the time so I figure I'm covered. My dad got 5/6 number twice, one paid $12k and the other $50k, so he's ahead but he's been playing the same numbers for 30 years now.

                              In general, then chances are better you'll be hit by lightening than win a major lottery jackpot.

                                      I don't play the lottery really at all. Like you, I will randomly play every now and then, but maybe once or twice a yr max...My mother is the same way; if she ever wins (hopefully she does, she's been playing since I can remember) I will most likely have to hold my tongue from saying "Ma you probably don't realize how many times more you spent on the lottery than you actually won from that ticket!”

                                        I play it every now and then. A few months ago I played a lotto here here Canada (Super 7), the jackpot was $12 000 000 at the time and I matched SIX of the 7 #'s.. ARGGGG! 1 # off from $12 000 000. I won a whole $1970.70. Was sure better than 0, but far off from $12 000 000.

                                          Lottery is a legal way to tax the poor an obscene amount. Same with "illegal" numbers games, etc.

                                          I think people do it for that one shot of a thrill. A little excitement for one dollar.

                                            While the lotto is a tax on the poor, if it's some record breaking high payout or something I'll buy one for fun, other then that I like to throw scratch off in on gifts and stuff for fun.

                                              In Canada, whatever we win on any lotto is tax free. Even if you would win $1 000 000 000 it would be 100% tax free.

                                                The wife and her co-workers pool together for lottery tickets each week - that's enough for us.

Some of them buy those scratch tickets, then scratch them off right at the register, so I have to push the zombie out of my fucking way.

                                                  It's gambling for retards. They should just make real gambling legal, so all of these mongoloids can blow their money somewhere other than where I buy my newspaper.
                                                  I couldn't agree more, that is the most annoying fucking thing in the world! I'm so sick of having to wait 12 minutes for all those losers to buy their lottery tickets just so I can get a coke. Fuck!

                                                  We do have legalized gambling here though, but it hasn't helped at all. They are still just as bad if not worse.

                                                    That isn't what I meant by taxes.

                                                    Government sanctioned lotteries are typically created to generate revenue for somebody's pet project or sometimes even something that needs to be done. So people buy lottery tickets in hopes of winning a massive amount of money, while the likelihood of doing so is so beyond extremely minimal it's just silly. Playing the lottery makes absolutely no financial sense... however, people like a cheap thrill. And that's what it is.

                                                    The typical lottery player is someone with a relatively small income. Well-to-do people do not play the lottery. That's what is meant by "taxing the poor."

                                                        I didn't look at it that way. I guess I should have thought about that, but ya, I agree with that.So many people will buy a shit load of tickets in hopes of winning the big one, but it almost never happens. So after they have spend whatever free $ they had and not win shit they are now broke. Of course, they will repeat the patter over and over thinking that their day will come.

He played it every week since the birth of his son to my step mum and the one week he forgot his numbers come in. 2 people shared the 20 million but it should have been 3. The numbers he played every week were to do with his sons birthday and so on. He still thinks about it to this day as well.

                                                                                            Yaaa, I play once in a while but it is the worst gamble there is in gambling. Payout is around 50% of intake.

                                                                                            I used to own a Party Store with a Lotto machine. It was surprising how many people are totally addicted to Lotto games and scratch offs. We had a lady that worked for the Post Office (made good money) and used to spend an average of 80-100 per day on Bingo scratch off tickets.

                                                                                            One day she received her yearly Christmas bonus of over 800 dollars. Next day she showed up and spent about 1500 dollars on instant tickets till she was broke. Her car had about 1" of that scratch off crumbs on the floorboard of her front seat.

                                                                                            Many others had a 3 and 4 digit daily habit. Many as high as $100 per day.

                                                                                            Saw many many people spend their weekly earnings on trying to get lucky.

                                                                                            What a shame.

Fact is, the chances of winning are small, but there is an absolute zero chance of winning without playing. There are people that have won large sums of money more than once playing the lotto, and the chances of doing that are like trillions to one odds.
