I guess this is only for those old enough, but does anyone buy lotto tickets?

Do you play the same numbers each time, or do you have a "system" that you use?

I do now, but mostly because I have more disposable income than before. I figure $24/month is worth it.

When the jack pot is WAY up and i happen to be "home" yea, Ill buy like 5 or 10 bux worth of tix. I also enjoy throwing my money away at casinos. Its a better alternative then goin to the bars for entertainment. At least for me. But thats not what this topic is about lol.

When I choose numbers, I generally just do a whole 'random' thing... but if a numbers calling out to me I will pick it. One time when I was little i was watching tv and they were callin out the numbers and I guessed every single number they called out BEFORE they called it. My dad was like 'Wow'. lol. Wish that happened EVERY time :evil:

I have thought about starting it up. I even thought about going to the casino this weekend to see what it's like.... so if I don't come back to these forums I've most likely sold everything I own... D:

No.

Six double digit numbers, so 99^6 = or one in 941 billion. At those odds, the actual prize for a $3 ticket is way too low.

Only when I have an extra dollar or do I wouldn't mind losing.

I won $7 last week. Not bad since it was my third time ever playing.

Yeah right, I'd rather throw the money out the window of a moving car, at least someone who needs it will find it and use it. Another reason why i hate lotto is because people always talk about what their gonna do if they win. I.E. "If I win I'm gonna buy you a house and pay for the rest of your college". I'm in my third year at USF, if i would've waited for someone to win, I don't think my future would be as bright.

Never have. I would rather bet on sports though cause it would seem that there is at least some challenge.

Nope. If you play the lottery then you beleive there is chance that you might win. If you beleive that then you also need to be deathly afraid of a neon meteor ricochetting off of Pluto, crashing through your home, and destroying your house while leaving a crater that unearths Jimmy Hoffa and Bronson Pinchot. Because the odds of either one happening are about the same.

That and I worked at a casino for several years and lost all interest in gambling while I was there.

I buy a ticket if it's over 100m.
