Does anyone play the lottery?

[gini]

This even makes me laugh.......but I was curious - does anyone else play the lottery?

I don't all of the time, but sometimes when the "pot" gets a bit higher, I will play.

I got so excited, I won $11.00 last night. Now what to do with all of that money?

[Uabassoon]

I play every once in a while if I'm feeling lucky or it's a high jackpot. However I don't think I've ever won more than three dollars. We had a pool at work once, everyone pitched in $5, I think we had around $75 tickets total. Our grand prize....$3.

I get tempted but I don't buy tickets. :)

[king2005]

nope, but on my b-day I'll buy 2 scratch & win Bingo tickets, I'll keep playing until I loose my 6 bucks or until I made more then 3 buscks off a ticket (I pocket anything over 3.00 in winnings)

$11, Gini????? :eek: Oh the world of opportunity that has just opened up to you! Have you consulted a reputable financial advisor?

Your chance of winning the jackpot is always infinitissimally low, but I understand it gets even lower when the jackpot is really huge, because so many more people buy a ticket. :D

I don't buy it individually but I'm in a lottery pool at work. 13 of us pitch in $52.00 each for the year and we play the same numbers every week. Sometimes we will win free tickets so that extends it at bit. Have not won anything major yet.

$11.00 Gini???? To echo Lut, that could buy alot of peeps. :D

You know, I just had to edit this. All I really want is $200,000. I'm not greedy....that would give me enough to pay off my mortgage, buy a new car and replace the carpet and furniture in my condo. What's left over I can invest. The last think I would want is to win "big". It's just too much to comprehend and I'm sure I would have friends and relatives showing up that I never knew I had. ;)

I play once in a great while (when the jackpot is big).

I won $50 on a scratch ticket once and was soooooooooo thrilled. You'd think I won a million dollars.

:D

I buy when I am where they sell the tickets...which is not to often. I wish I could remember to buy a ticket weekly but just can't remember... My DREAM is to win the big one and open a shelter for strays but in a normal house so they can live in a home inviroment. But I am not greedy either, winning anything would be a blessing (I think).

I play every now and then.The most I won is $20.00 My brother-in-law won $500,000 about 6 years ago....lucky duck!http://www.clicksmilies.com/s0105/party/party-smiley-017.gif

We play the Powerball, periodically. Recently, I bought $10 worth of numbers and got a $12 return.........not exactly what I was looking for, as the Powerball was worth $350 Million, but it was better than nothing! LOL!!!

[lizbud]

Not very often. Sometime when the jackpot is huge, I'll buy a few.
$3.00 is my limit, so I'm not into gambling. :D .

I buy 4 tickets each month, 1 for each Saturday draw. Most I have ever won was a tenner (£10) but as the saying goes, 'You've got to be in it to win it'. :)
