    Do you buy lottery tickets? or do you consider it a waste of time and money? I never have, but when I see things like $250,000,000 up for grabs I get sorely tempted.

    I used to, but atm i'd rather spend that £1 every week on living costs.

    I didn't win that often (even then, the best I got was £10).

    Once in a while. Usually on Wednesdays. If I do, its when it gets big, and usually never more than one. I've won the Power Ball a few times. Usually enough to buy some more tickets.

    I usually spend a buck a week on lottery, even though it's drawn twice weekly here in Florida.

    Yeah it's kind of a waste, but all it takes is one time, right?

    On occasion sure I'll pick up one or two $5 scratch off tickets..sometimes i'll lose, sometimes i'll win my $5 back and sometimes i'll win $10..never hardly anymore than that. I do it for the hell of it but wouldn't suggest it to anyone. Overall it's really just a waste of money..lol

    I don't buy any lottery tickets and don't plan to in the future because I feel it is a waste of cash.
