Nowadays,there are all kinds of lotteries in our society and many people buying them.But why are there so many people buying lotteries?In my opinion,most people are trying their luck on lotteru tickets.They have a long-cherished dream of making big money overnight.Second,some people just like it and it can make their life more colorful. Also there some people who want to make donation to public welfare by bu buying lotteries. Do you buy lotteries?And which purpose do you from ?

I will play the lottery weekly, put in $6, 2 drawings of $3 each. I hope that one day I win the big lottery and am an overnight millionare. I know what I will do with the money, I'll help all of my family, and some of my friends. I'll be able to take care of some things and will be able to live and not be worrying about how ends will meet.

I buy lottery tickets every once in a while but only 1 ticket at a time, so I end up spending $2.00 a week at most. I almost always but Powerball tickets but if I happen to be in El Paso I'll get a MultiMillions ticket. Both lotteries benefit the states they're sold in. I know the odds are against winning but I figure it's worth $1.00 here and there to at least have a chance at a dream.

No, I don't participate in any lotteries. The odds of winning the lottery are less than being struck by lightning. It does happen, yes, but there are more than 6 billion people on this earth. In comparison, not a lot of people win. I don't gamble either so I'm kind of pre set not to take part in a lottery. The one in my state says it is for the teachers, but like a lot of people predicted, not even a third of the money has actually gone to the teachers. So I leave them all alone. But I don't think anyone is bad for participating.
