I invest about $15 every week in lottery tickets and scratchies. I don't know whether I am especially lucky, but I usually have some small winnings to cover my expenses and a little extra. I only buy a ticket when I feel that I might be winning something. Some days I feel nothing at all, at other times I am almost being pushed into the newsagency. That's when I usually win something. How about you?
I play the lottery too but I don't spend as much as you. I spend an average of $4 a week only. I don't have the luck to win so I tend to spend only very little for recreational purpose. Played for years and never once won anything. Not even scratch and win gave me anything before.
I've seen enough lottery tickets being purchased by my grandmother...Supposedly she's been doing it way before I was born and I've witnessed myself her buying a good deal of them each week. All different types. As for myself, I've never been interested. I guess seeing her hit a bunch of the small payouts it turned me off. I do like the tickets that donate to schools from the money that is used to make the purchase...Other than that, no thanks.
I used to spend a lot of extra money on lottery tickets, but now I gave up the habit. Rather than spending $15-$20 every week on tickets, I just tuck them in my journal (the money) and whenever I need an extra I just pop one out. I'm not lucky when it comes to games of chance, and after I calculated my losses every year, I just stopped and saved my money, I mean I won once, and I counted my winnings and it turns out that I spent more on buying tickets compared to my actual winnings.
I gamble on the horses and football results, but I have only played the lottery once I paid £1.00 for a line and I won £10.00 so I'm £9.00 up. My dad does the National Lottery and the Euro Lottery every week and buys about £5.00 worth of lines for each draw. I don't know if he will continue to do the National Lottery as much now that they have put the price for a line up from £1.00 to £2.00.
I have never bought a lottery ticket yet, since I feel that I won't win anyway, so I will just waste my money. I will only buy a ticket if I dreamed of numbers the night before, which what happened many years ago, and it turned out that 3 of them appeared in the lotto results.
I don't gamble [or isn't lottery a form of gambling]? I've done it before though when I was younger and didn't win anything. Having no luck winning any prizes for a long time, I realized that there was no need for me to keep trying something that consistently drained money from my pocket. So these days, I never play the lottery. If I had one of those dreams that I'd won the lottery then probably I'd buy a ticket the next day.
Very rarely I will buy a lottery ticket but not often. I figure I won't win so I don't want to spend my money, even if just a little bit, because I figure it's similar to throwing it away. I do know some people who have won small sums in the lottery, $50-$100k and that always makes me think that maybe I should buy a ticket and see if I get lucky.
I do not purchase Lottery tickets. I am not lucky that way and feel that it is not the best use of my money. My daughter is very lucky and will purchase a scratch off card of go the to casino and win often. For me it is just a waste of my money.
I wouldn't ever buy lottery tickets. It is giving my money away. Even if I would only spend $1 a week for a year, that is $52! I could pay my water bill with that money. No way would I give my money away.
I do sometimes but not more than $5 every other week. I've never had luck when it comes to chance games so I don't want to throw away that much money, I'd rather buy a value meal or something. But I did bought a winning ticket once, wasn't really that much money but it was pretty sweet.
I don't. It is a waste of money in the long run and I don't think I'll make a big win with my first lottery ticket, so I don't even start buying them.
Yes, I do play the lottery. It's one of my vices. Usually, I purchase scratch tickets. At times, I win. At times, I lose. It's the luck of the draw. The most I have ever won was $300. However, it's rare. I think I played a $3 ticket and got those winnings. For some reason, I rarely play the large lottery drawings like Mega Millions.
No. I've never had any luck with lottery. I was once addicted to scratchies at one point in my life, I think I won something and I ended up trying and trying when I came to the realization that I almost spend $100 each week for scratchies and I got scared and I never tried it again.
I don't typically play the lottery. When I worked in an office, most of the employees would pull their money together and buy tickets every week. They never won anything. Not even a few bucks. I joined them a couple of times, but I quit. I'd rather not waste my money.
I've never bought any tickets but I hope to indulge in it when I have enough of an income. As of now it's just not very practical for me to be spending my money that way, but if I could make it a regular hobby then I don't see why not. I've gotten to try it though because my friends like to buy some from time to time and I sometimes get to scratch the cards and I find it very fun and exciting.
Very rarely. Maybe once a month, if that. I'm to finicky with it because I know I'm not going to win and I feel like I'm just throwing away money that I could be doing something a lot better with then wasting it on a piece of paper that's going to get me nothing. I know, I know, "You have to be in it to win it" but still, I don't think I have that kind of luck.
Its been a while since I've bought a lottery ticket and its usually not the BIG BIG one, its the one where the most you can win is like $600,000 because there is a higher chance of winning. I Once I matched 3 out of 5 numbers and won $15 dollars but of course I've never duplicated that win which is a bit annoying. For me, I need to probably stay away from the lottery because I can see myself getting addicted to winning, and I don't want to be wasting money on that when I could be saving it. Though it would be nice to win at one point.
