I do not play the lottery because I do not want to win the lottery. Everything I have in this world was earned and I am a self-made man. If I won a large prize in the lottery, I will not have the satisfaction of having earned it. It will be like receiving a hand-out. I will no longer be able to say that everything I have was earned through hard work and industriousness.
I see why so many lottery winners have problems. They have low self-esteem because they feel that they have not earned what they have. This is similar to how the children of wealthy parents feel. They feel that they are unworthy and undeserving of the financial comfort that they have.

Post #86 well said. There's nothing wrong with lotteries, IMO. Even the Founders held lotteries to raise money for the Continental Army. Bet not many FReepers knew that.

Some folks buy overpriced lattes at Starbucks, others buy Powerball tickets. It's nice to have the freedom to choose.Ain't it the truth!

My second cousins are connected to Microsoft money and quite wealthy. If they can handle $100 million, I sure as hell can.
