    No and no. I spend what I need and a little of what I want and put the rest into a savings account. Works for me.

    I don't gamble because it fosters greed and I believe that greedy persons will not inherit God's kingdom. I am trying to keep my answers to the point.

    If I have a couple extra dollars and I happen to be at a store that sells the tickets, sure, I'll buy 2 or 3 dollars worth, won't go out of my way looking for them..
    My luck is held in reserve and compounding for the big win.... Seems like all the old geezers always win (or the 18 year old Minorities) so I'm just about the right age now to be an old geezer...

    No. If you don't play, you can't lose! I've played casino games, but just for fun. If I were playing to make money, I'd invest into the S&P 500.

    When I was in elementary school there was a girl who I knew, but wasn't friends with. I remember hearing that her parents won 8mil and all of a sudden everyone wanted to be her friend. She was invited to everyone's birthday party and my best friend almost tried to de-friend (is that even a word??) me to hang out with her all the time. I remembered thinking, 'What?! What difference does it make? She's still the same person I knew before!' But then she turned out to be really mean because people would give her whatever she wanted, liek seats, or places on the playground. I can't believe that a bunch of kids really understood why money was so important, and that they needed to lose their morals over it. It astounds me to this day.

    I dont for all the usual reasons as already stated, plus in Britain I think the money goes to some very questionable causes

    i'm guilty of playing a little bit. i think it's mostly a tax on the poor who keep dreaming of hitting the big one.

    I bought a lottery ticket right before my long term boyfriend broke up with me. That night I scratched it to find I won $50. That's the most I've ever gotten from a scratcher.

    I rarely play, I have won a few prizes. My biggest "close call" to hit a jackpot took place a few months ago. I found a one dollar bill while walking down the street. I took that bill and played the local Instant Lotto. I didn't pick any numbers, the machine did it for me. I hit 5 out of 6 numbers, I won $850.00. The only number I needed was a 34, the computer gave me a 37. I almost hit the Jackpot of 2.5 million dollars..... That's a Close Call!!!!

    I dont play the lottery,...it is against my religion. I doubt that I would even if it weren't. I think its a huge waste of money, very few people ever end up coming out on top.

    No I don't play the lottery because I know that statistically, I have more chance of being struck by lightening than I do of winning the jackpot.

    I matched 5/7 numbers on ENCORE last may for $1000 CAD. I also won $2400 CAD on a super jackpot at bingo once. But I assure you, I WILL win a BIG one some day soon! I can feel it.

    about 2 or 3 times a year. Never won anything. Not too optimistic that I ever will so I don't waste my money on it.

    And if I had won the lottery, do you honestly think I'd be living in a sinking house in Pasadena?

    I play the lottery on lotto night at the ballpark (where you get a ticket for the price of admission)--I would've won $100 (a lot for a poor college student) IF I had read the directions.

    If you mean purchase stock in lottery companies, no, I don't

    If you mean buy lottery tickets in hopes of winning, that is not an investment, it is gambling, pure and simple.
