Obviously you missed the message. Gambling is a waste of money.

To each their own. I equate the lottery as a fun chance to dream of having financial security. I play rarely and when It gets to a certain point. Is that any different than paying 15 bucks for a movie ticket? Or bowling or a pack of cigs?

If that’s your entertainment, fine. Personally, I feel that I get something finite to enjoy with movie tickets or bowling.

I used to travel regularly to Vegas for business. A couple times I dumped $10 just to try it. The gambling experience is not a thrill to me. I would get a sick feeling when I lost it. My free time would generally be spent exercising, catching up on paperwork or in the video game room when I was there.
