Do You Play The Lottery? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

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.

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.

My mom and my aunt play. I think it's dumb.

It ain't dumb if you win.

I've never played the lottery

x3 Taylor x3 · 03-06-2005, 07:45 PM

No. I don't have any luck.

Lee · 03-06-2005, 09:46 PM

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!

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.
