Who tries luck at lotto?

The pot is somewhere in the 200 million mark, so I hear. A friend of mine wanted to cast numbers for me. I might have beginner's luck, he said. But lotto is a no-no for me. It still is gambling, legalized though.

I do betting from time to time. I think for as long I can control the urge to bet every now and then. I am thinking that PCSO is helping others too so part of my bet does go to charity as well.

Of course when we bet for it there is something behind that why we are all betting. But I think part of our bets also goes to charity as PCSO is helping thousand of other people and institutions from our bets too. So there seems to be some kind of double purpose in betting with them.

My mother try her luck in betting in lottery. Who knows if it is mean for you it can happened. I'm also dreaming that we can win in a lottery so our financial worries can be solved. It can help me with my medication and it can help us to help other people and relatives.

I believe that funds could be raised without ever involving gambling.

Lotto had been here for ages. But the plight of the deprived had never been so dismal. Lotto for charity is nothing but deceiving people. I wish it would go away.

I'm trying but not that often. With that kind of jackpot, I might try my luck. By the way, I don't consider it a gambling, instead I treat it as a charity because part of our bet goes to the charity organizations under PCSO and it helps a lot of poor Filipinos who are in need financially.

That is what they say - charity. But I doubt if the help truly ever reaches the poor.

Wish I could be the winner but I don't play lotto or I don't want to gamble.

before I went here in jeddah I tried many times but not frequent my luck in lotto. I have never won I think i have no luck in lotto. I heard that the big pot was not claimed by the winner. I think no person can do that kind of stupidity by not claiming the pot prize. The pot prize has been collected by government to use in campaign of the administration bet.What do you think?

Only fb gets richer in lotto they say. They can give a random person and declare it as a winner but for real the winner is the people handling Lotto.

Hello Eileen. Yes, I've heard of the unclaimed, big lotto pot too. My boy friend was forcing me to bet on a few numbers but I declined. Well, I play poker a lot, bad habit though but well, it involves a bit of skill and luck. Lotto on the other hand relies entirely on luck, and the odds of winning is extremely low. That's why I don't do lotto. Anyway regards!

I play the poker, too, minus the money. Sharpens mental skills like remembering.
