First time in over five years how about you ?

I haven't spent a nickel on the lottery in over 5 years, I consider it a waist of money,if the average person could get rich at it, it would not exist. but at over 540 million i broke down and bought 2 quick picks (big spender i know). does anyone else feel the same way ?

Keep buying those lottery tickets. They help put money in the state coffers. :o) P.S. I'll come to the party if you win.

I'll buy the rare quick picks (every 6 months) but, I like the scratchers. After a short dry spell, I usually win my money back.................

none what soever Reminds me of a joke.. "did you hear about the ......ish lottery"? they give you a dollar a year for a million years..

commented 12 years ago

Funny joke but, I do win scratch offs every 6 weeks or so when I buy them, I've only lost about half of my winnings. I'm not going to get rich playing but it is fun to win..........

I rarely buy any lottery tickets, but I am in a syndicate, though I have a direct debit set up to win a house up north, been buying them for 30 years......have never come close and could probably have one paid for by now with the money spent on tickets

The most I have ever won on Ozlotto is $60:00. I'm not lucky and haven't bought any for some time. Maybe I'll have a try next week. A couple of million would do us.

I don't buy lottery tickets or scratchers, go to the race track, and take only $40 on the rare occasions I go to a casino.
I don't gamble much, but I do get in my car every day and take a big gamble I'm going to get where I'm going and back without an accident.
What are the odds....

A friend bought me a ticket. We have great plans for a Huge Animal Rescue Resort (Well, probably more like a segmented Farm......) With 2 houses. Take your allergy medicine because that is where the aka party will be! You can leave for home with your own adopted animal if you like!
