every once in a while a random mood will strike me and I'll buy one for the fun of it. Most I ever won was 50 bucks....
Although when I was working in the gas station, all day long I was eyeing a specific ticket. Something kept telling me to get it, but I kept stopping myself, saying "Nah, i never win". Little old lady came in about halfway through my shift and bought it. $10,000 dollar winner.
Happened another time too with a $100,000. I really need to start listening to those nagging thoughts

@SarahAndSamantha What you buy is the hope and the dream..😷

@whowasthatmaskedman Pretty much. that's why I only do it once in a while when I have an extra buck or two. It's fun to think "If i win, i can do this and this and buy this thing" And hey, if you win, awesome. If you don't..you only lost a dollar.

I did it a few times in the past year. The clerk at the convenience store always scoffs at me for buying one and then I lose all the money. May as well have burned the dollar, at least it would provide heat.

Ah!! Even clever people do sometimes buy a lottery ticket. But unlike casino gambling, no one believes they will win.. What you buy with a lottery ticket is the HOPE that you might win. And a week of hope can be a valuable thing when you have little else..😷

Yeah... I BEEN trying to hit that stupid lottery on Powerball and Tennessee Cash 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Good luck... The ones where you play the numbers is the ones I played... But I got to talking to one of the Bartender Girls at my work and she said she heard that like only people in the Major Cities likes New York, Chicago,ect... Get to win the big money... Said their not gonna let someone from a small town in Tennessee in my case win it... But I mean that kinda DOES makes sense... Idk... But...

@BrandonWyatt36 It sounds right. But it isnt. The truth is that the bigger the population, the more tickets the city buys and the better their odds of winning. Its just the math feeding the odds. A lottery ticket is a great leveller. You have the same chance as Jeff Bezos of winning. Probably more.. You think he would be bothered buying a ticket?😷

I buy them if it is a possible big win. Guess I like to fantasize about what I would do

Never bought one

I do, once a week. No more than $5

@TurtlePink I`ve won $500 once. Mostly free tickets.
It`s always a risk. There are no guarantees. So it`s up to you.

Only when the jackpot is big. Like once in a blue moon.

@GunFinger heard someone say they only bought it when it was a huge jackpot, the other guy said so $20 million wouldnt help?
GunFinger · F
@Likestoenjoylife a huge jackpot for me would be like $40M. I forgot when it was $80M. Oh well.
