View Full Version : Do You Play The Lottery?
Janice 03-06-2005, 05:41 PM I buy season tickets for Mass Cash and Megabucks. I put scratch tickets in cards for my husband for Christmas, Valentines Day and his birthday. My husband plays the daily number if he happens to be in a store.
We hit for 20 grand a few years ago on the daily number.
gilligan fanatic 03-06-2005, 05:42 PM I would if I was old enough
MaydayMalonesGirl 03-06-2005, 05:45 PM My dad does. I picked all the numbers, though.
Needless to say we never win anything.
Kay Scarpetta 03-06-2005, 05:46 PM My dad does ;)
Belair 03-06-2005, 05:46 PM Yeah I play.You cant win it if you're not in it ;)
GARFIELDKOOL 03-06-2005, 05:48 PM Yes. I don't play all the time, only if the pot is big. I play the daily 3 way and 4 way regularly. The most I ever won from the 3 way was $330. The most from the 4 way was $200. Scratch offs I usually win a few bucks here and there.
AllIWantIsYourClutch 03-06-2005, 06:46 PM My mom and my aunt play. I think it's dumb.
GARFIELDKOOL 03-06-2005, 06:48 PM My mom and my aunt play. I think it's dumb.
It ain't dumb if you win.
Mijada 03-06-2005, 07:38 PM I've never played the lottery
x3 Taylor x3 03-06-2005, 07:45 PM No. I don't have any luck.
No, gambling is immoral and wrong.
David 03-06-2005, 09:48 PM Very rarely. Usually I only do it if my friends decide to pay.
Fleet 03-06-2005, 10:19 PM Only $2.00/week (every Wednesday and Saturday).
Someone my mom knew who worked at Rite Aid (formerly Thrifty's) won about 1.5 or 2 million dollars. She did like me- only a couple of dollars a week. She quit her job, and bought a house in near-by Santa Clarita.
Since the odds of winning the California lottery are about 22 million to one, it doesn't make sense to spend $20 or $40/week on that.
My dad plays the lotto more than I, maybe $20/week. He once won $1,400- but he probably spent almost that playing for 20 years!
Seinatra 03-06-2005, 11:14 PM No, gambling is immoral and wrong.
Why is it immoral?
I don't play the lottery. I think about doing it when there are hundreds of millions up for grabs in Powerball, but never get around to it.
Brian Damage 03-06-2005, 11:19 PM I play Mega Millions occasionally.
Georgia's on my Mind 03-06-2005, 11:27 PM No, gambling is immoral and wrong.

Kay Scarpetta 03-07-2005, 07:30 AM no its not. what the **** religion are you
:rofl: I love you.
bandito 03-07-2005, 08:02 AM I play, only if i have to stop at the store for something other than the lottery.
bossradio93 03-07-2005, 04:10 PM I played the scratch-off tickets when the California Lottery began in 1985. Later I played Lotto (came out in 1986) and played a few other versions of various games: Decco (card related game), discontinued, Fantasy 5, Daily Derby and Daily 3*.
Haven't played in a while but will get back to playing it soon. My parents would buy tickets only if the Super Lotto jackpot gets pretty high. ($30 million, $50 million, etc).
*Daily 3 offers two drawings each day. Mid-day and evening.
Czas na Zywiec 03-07-2005, 04:14 PM Won $5 the other week!
80s_Fan 03-07-2005, 04:14 PM No, I don't play because I don't like to lose money for nothing. :dollar:
Shelley 03-07-2005, 04:17 PM No, because it is against my beliefs.
Fleet 03-07-2005, 05:03 PM I played the scratch-off tickets when the California Lottery began in 1985. Later I played Lotto (came out in 1986) and played a few other versions of various games: Decco (card related game), discontinued
I forgot about Decco until you mentioned it.
BTW, does your username refer to "93 KHJ?" I've got a lot of their old "Top 30" lists from years ago- oldest is from June 1972 up to Sept. 1980 when they stopped printing them.
MsOrange 03-07-2005, 05:58 PM I can't, i've got a way too addictive personality...it's smart for me just to stay away
MsOrange 03-07-2005, 05:59 PM No, gambling is immoral and wrong.
I bet you $10 it's not
robyrob 03-08-2005, 01:15 AM nope.
dawsongirl 03-08-2005, 02:22 AM My dad would buy Powerball tickets if he had a couple bucks left over after buying gas, but now that it's $1.87 a gallon, it always ends up over $20, so no extra. So when the pot gets big, he goes in with some guys at work.

:rofl: :rotflmao:
dawsongirl 03-08-2005, 03:41 PM they have powerball in iowa??
Yes sir, we do. The drawing is done here.
isiahthomas 03-08-2005, 04:25 PM 80's fan i agree with you. I don't like wasting money for nothin either & the lottery is definitely a waste of money. It's amazing to me how many blacks play the lottery everyday just wasting their money so they can try & get rich. My grandfather used to play the lottery twice a day before he died. He used to tell me that i would waste money buying music tapes & cd's. He had a lot of nerve to tell me that when he wasted his money playing the lottery LOL. Even if he did hit the lotto, he would never tell my grandmother or anybody so he could keep the money to himself LOL.
dawsongirl 03-08-2005, 04:51 PM Even if he did hit the lotto, he would never tell my grandmother or anybody so he could keep the money to himself LOL.
My dad won like, $300 or something playing the lottery with the guys at work, and we didn't find out about it until like 2 months later. Greedy. :nonono: :lol:
Dude111 12-13-2023, 01:05 PM The most I have ever won ON ONE TICKET is $100...
