In casinos and any other places where the placing of money as a bet intrigues me. How should huge amounts of money landed in that place while so many people in the streets need it. I see why. Months ago I tried to place my bets on the local lottery and hope that my bets can have a place in the 6 number game of 42 numbers. For months I did this and the feeling is addictive. It seems that there is an inside thought telling me to place my bets. This thrills me and I see now now why people gamble. It thrills me(aside from the winnings granted that its a lucky day), How about you did you feel it.

Gambling oh geesh, I like to do it but I never win. usually when i go in i will take a small amount of Cash with me and play slots, I'm not good at the tables I'd lose my money right away, I know I would.. For like powerball I hardly ever have a winning number lol Though my husband won a big O 6.00 about a week ago.. But i do know people that love to gamble and go any chance they can possible. I really don't know why they do it though just to lose money i am guessing. Cause i seen people spend hundreds of dollars trying to get a small amount of cash from machines or even lotto tickets kinda crazy if you ask me.

Yes, I have played the lottery off and on since it stared in Michigan..but it used to be only fifty cents ..and the prize was a million..over 20 years @ 50 grand a year..in 1970's prices this was a lot of money..it still is but it is not a huge windfall as the cost of living has gone up so much...now with the Mega millions starting @ 12 million and going up..it is hard not to put down a few dollars a week in hopes of "striking it rich" but I stay out of casino's as this is way to much fun..and addicting but I used to see a lot of senior citizens on oxygen and some of them did were so dazzed and confused they did not even know what they were playing? they came in groups or with a family member and were left alone to gamble as the other people left them to their own devices..they looked kind of sad..but that is the lure of something for nothing..for every winner look how many losers?
