Lottery, is the easy money if we win it. I think it is gambling. Some do it to try their luck. My view is, I cannot enjoy the lottery money than my hard earned money.

Playing the lottery can run either way. It can be a harmless pleasure or a harmful obsession. Personally, I very rarely play. My mother got into the habit when I lived at home and i would put on £2 each week. Eventually I won £10, but realised I had been playing for more than a year. It didn't take a mathematician to realise that I had spent at least £104 and gotten only £10 back. What a waste of money! I've also noticed some people at the supermarkets and stuff, buying anything up to 15 scratchcards. Without wishing to judge, these people never look like the type who can afford to waste £15. On the positive side, the occasional £1 is a reasonable price for firing up your imagination over what you would do with those millions!

I like to play sometimes..and is weird because I think "If i win...I don't know if is a good thing..is gambling..easy money that brings problems.."But I also think how i could help family members and people in need.All i wanted was to have a house pay off, travel the world and give my kids a good education.My husband hates playing the lotto and he thinks is Gamble.I still play once a month!

It is definitely a huge gamble, and in my opinion very sad because alot of desperate people buy lottery tickets hoping to get rich, when they are only making things harder for themselves...unless of course they win!

It is absolutely gambling, they are taking your money paying to others and with the balance they live happily.

I think lottery is a type of addiction which will take a man form billions to scrap. The organisations which run this lottery system make huge amount of money for return of a very meagre amount which is paid only to one person or a few persons. Ultimately, the general public is the loser and the organisations and the government are the gainers.
