Do you play the lotto?

[tx_basser]

No, but wife insists i buy scratch off on Christmas to put in everyone's stockings.

I am sure the single mothers at the gentlemen’s club appreciate it.

[Axkiker]

When it gets really high. Which is really stupid because your odds are better when its low. Like I couldnt use a quick 20M.

[Kyhokie]

Not until it is over $200 million; I evidently have no use for $40 million…I look in my he mirror and see a dumbass looking back at me…

same 😂😂

[vatreefarmer]

Occasionally on a whim. Usually when the jackpot is huge. Even though that doesn't help my odds. As if I can't be bothered when the jackpot is ONLY 100 million or something lol

[Table Rock 1]

Yes couple times a year, I do buy scratch tickets one per week, I am up so far this year..

[triton]

Always play the scratch offs...I will take a $500 winner every now and then ...

[MYRX]

Maybe $40/year on Mega Millions tickets. Never bought a scratch off ticket.

[rds_nc]

Only if I have money left over after cigarettes and Boones Farm.

I hope you are only paying with loose change you found laying around and spill them all over the counter.

[ChampioNman]

Two fantasy 5 with EZ match daily $4 ain't gonna break my bank.

[rboren]

Na. I can’t afford a ticket. I was born a poor whitish boy.

Sounds like my wife LOL. Outside of that we may buy a Poweerball once a year if it gets close to a billion.

[okhawg]

Before I retired, I spent $75-90 a year on PB. Now I hardly ever go into convenience stores and only buy 4-6 tickets a year, even if the jackpot is only $30 million .

[FrancoCialone]

I usually buy one or two $4.00 tickets a week, while in line people ahead of me are buying a lot more, $50.00 +. You only need 1 ticket (with the right numbers) to win, its nice to dream, I have a better chance of winning the Bassmaster Classic !

[JJohnSind]

Fool’s game.

Its a tax on people poor at math. Guess I am bad at math as I buy 2=3 month tops. I watched a guy walk in with couple of 100 dollar bills few weeks ago and while I was waiting to talk to owner he was buying the 50 and 100 dollar scratch offs. Saw him go back into his wallet about 4x. I failed to see the entertainment in that, sure he lost over 500+ he was just scratching the bottom part and handing it to the counter guy or tearing them in half.

But I did win 20K on a two dollar scratch off years ago. 14.5 after taxes, paid off 2 student loans at just over 12k no joke.

[TMG]

I forgot to get a ticket last night. I need some financial advice from the fools game/tax on people that can't do math people.
I'm not sure if I should invest the two dollars I saved or go on a trip to the Bahamas.
Of course I could also buy a half gallon of gas or a loaf of bread.
Now that I've posted this on a public forum, I hope I don't get robbed on my way home tonight.

[TimH]

Not since the 90's. The odds against winning are ridiculous. Winning program for the tax collector however.

The odds aren't ridiculous. You have a 50% chance of winning every time you play...either you win or you don't! It all seriousness thought, I do not play the lottery. Nothing against it, its just never been my thing.

[bucky]

I bet I spend less than $20 per year on tickets. Occasionally if the payout gets crazy huge I will buy a couple.

Same here,can't stand to not buy a ticket when jackpot near a billion.

Yeah, I’d seek Dave Ramsey’s advice on that $2
