Gave up on buying lottery tickets years ago. A dollar a week. I couldn’t even match one of the numbers. It was depressing. It was a waste of hard-earned money. Every week your hopes get dashed. You only hear about the winners. Besides which, buying those tickets violated my own long-standing rule of being opposed to gambling in any form. Ill-gotten gains. It will haunt you.

I hear you. I daydream about winning. It’s rare that I buy a ticket. Never won, either.

I always looked at it that what you bought was a short period to dream of winning until you don’t and that is it. Granted one can dream without buying but you get that microscopic chance if you do.

Not a gambler at all.

A neighbor bought a ticket for me when I was going through a divorce. I had to wait several days to see if I’d won, but it cheered me in the meantime!
