Poll: Do you play the Lottery?

I've never been a gambler. I don't buy scratch tickets, lottery drawing tickets, bet on races, or anything like that. But I'm tired of being poor and I'm thinking of buying a season lottery ticket.

I realize that the chances of winning are very low, but I figure they are still greater than me ever becoming rich without gambling.

So what about you? Do you play the lottery?

But if you win the lottery, you can also get a supermodel. :)Mister_Mackey

Yeah, sometimes.

Nope.

Occassionally but the most I won was $1.00.

If I have some spare change and am feeling lucky, I'll give it a try.

I do not play the lottery, the lottery plays me. :cry:[spoiler] Not really, I have never bought a ticket. [/spoiler]

Yes.Every day.

No..the odds are too much.

I understand statistics, so no.

Nope

like once a year...

i play mega millions or powerball when its over 50 million, you gotta be in it to have a chance at winning it so yea once in a while it gives me a "what if i won" high

No, I only played the lottery once when it was 600 million a few weeks back.

Nope, I think it's a waste of money.

I'm considering on playing the lottery routinely. I know the chances are extremely slim, but if I can just hit a few numbers and win something (I'm not expecting all the numbers cause I know that's hoping too high), I'd still be a lot richer than I am now.

Right now, I don't play any form of lottery....

Naaaah. You spend more than what you make.

The only lottery ticket I ever got was when a friend gave me one for a birthday present.

The lottery is merely a tax for dumb people. At least at a casino you can make a night out of it instead of a 2 min rush until you realize you have yet again wasted money on a scratch off or powerball numbers.

No, rather go to the casino

I played it once but that was a two years ago.

got some when I turned 18 a few years ago, but that was it. I won $50. I just like to call it a tax on people who can't do math

I do sometimes, used to play scratchies quite a bit at uni and would usually win more than I spent.

These days I tend to by lotto tickets either when the jackpot is at it's highest or generally not long after it's won (when less people would be buying tickets).

If you do you're a huge dumbass. themajormayor

lottery is often considered a tax on stupid people.

one of my dear friends often buys lottery tickets, i dont say anything because im actually a little jealous. I wish i could buy that kind of hope and optimism for a few bucks a month.
