beautiful. that'll be me one day. .. you should ust pick up a powerball ticket or get some kind of lottery thing if you can afford it and you remember to get one or you're really thinking hard about getting one, you never know what it could lead to and in the end, at least you tried..
The odds of winning the lottery are retarded. OK? Playing the lottery over the long term will just bring you THAT much closer to broke, every week. So what's the point? Why not invest the money in an interest bearing account? That would accrue and you'd be able to afford better if you kept with it as long as some people play the lottery, 40-50 years with winnings amounting to maybe thousands, on average. Why pray to be the guy who sits on the couch drinking beer every day anyway? If you won the lottery, what are some things you would DO with the money? That's the best question to ask yourself.
No. I think the money should be better off spent on "real" money-making opportunities or businesses to grow. Those who play lottery must have weak principles for they don't believe that only hard work can bring money, not luck or a game of chance....
No I don't play lottery and don't have any believe in it. That your neighbor was so lucky, he got such a amount by a lottery.
Gambling is the life for some, however, I do just a little lottery, twice a year, maybe. Won some inconsiderable amounts of money, too, but nothing too serious.
I play, but only 1 line a week on the normal lottery, none of the euro millions and daily ones etc.. A friend of the brother in law recently missed out on winning £6m on the lottery, because he forgot to put his numbers on (same numbers each week)... as they say, got to be in it to win it.
I play only when the jackpots get larger. I do win quite often though. I usually end up breaking even. Either way the thought of potentially winning is fun. And you can't win if you don't play. That being said I would never play on a daily basis...
But it's statistically the worst way to gamble, I can't think of any more of a losing proposition than the lottery.
If I play it's only because it's something to do..you go buy a ticket, get that small source of entertainment and that "rush" you get when you feel you're going to win. That's the rush that makes all logical feelings and thoughts go out the door. You obviously are not going to win, but you're so tied in that you feel you are going to, so you do it.
