I admit I buy one, I don’t go overboard, I might buy two plays, that’s about it. If I’m meant to win, I’d win if I play two games or two hundred. I have nothing against gambling if it is done in a responsible manner. losing a couple of bucks in one thing, betting the farm on it is another.

The lottery is a tax on people who are bad at math.

I heard yesterday that here in Germany the Lotto winners with 6 numbers right got 80,000 euros.

I said good thing I didn’t win, I’d be pissed!

I bought my first lottery ticket in 15 years last night. I had zero numbers right, which is about my average. A waste of two dollars.

It was Bushs’ fault I lost, and I’m a racist. :)

Lottery is horrible if you actually look at the %. State takes from the pool, taxed on the winnings, Annuity for full payout or like 50% for lump sum, nobody talks about what happens to winning tickets not turned in.

But for $10 bucks 4-5 times a year, I get a nice sleep laying in bed at night dreaming about being the chosen one for that week.

How many times do you get a chance to not win a half a billion dollars?

Its worth a ticket to say you were a contender :~)

What idiots!!!

They have about as much chance of winning the lottery as ... retiring and living off their 401K.

If you won this record jackpot twice - before taxes you would almost have enough to fund obama phones for a year.

Just think of all the brotha's you could help out enable more than you unwillingly do already!

If God wants me to win it He’ll arrange it no matter what I do or don’t do, so I don’t bother buying tickets.

OTOH, I do tell him that if He does arrange it, then I’ll pay a double tithe on it. So far, no ticket has anonymously showed up.

I’d rather see 500 smaller pot winners. This is stupid.

You can’t lose if you don’t play.

I had to take a statistics course two times before I passed it. But I did pass it, so I don’t buy Lottery tickets.
