I've always wanted to try betting in the lottery but this remains a plan that always gets postponed. Hahaha! I also want to try my luck. I have an old maid aunt who has been betting in the lottery for like almost 20 years now. She's alredy 60+.
There was a time that she almost won a hundred million. Her numbers were picked and she was so frustrated and disappointed because that was the only day she was not able to bet. She was a gradeschool teacher and she attended a general meeting during that day and went home late. She did not have any time to bet. Until now she still bets in the lottery and hopes she'll have her luck.

Ow that was close for your aunt! Too bad she didn't win that day =( But I hope that she does in the future =) Maybe that's the reason why she keeps on betting and betting..;)

Thanks for sharing! God Bless =)

That was really close. Funny thing was that though she was so disappointed the most disappointed of us all was my other Aunt- younger than my Aunt who always bets in the lottery. Hahaha!

Yes,you are right that everybody wants to be rich.But I think this is only daydreaming.there are millions of billions of people engaging in betting,but how many of them become rich?Indeed,very few really become rich,but possibility is so small.If you bet all the time,you'ii become upset or mad.I don't like bet.I think you should know what you really seek is happiness,not only money.So change your attitude,and you will get what you want.
HAppy everyday!

Yes I agree statistically speaking there is a very little percentage of winning on the lottery..that's why they say that it would take alot of "luck" for you to win..
Betting doesn't mean depending solely on that to achieve ones goals..maybe you'll only get mad or upset if you take everything seriously. You should always consider the fact that winning is not certain so don't risk all your money unwisely..if you can accept that fact then you'll just laugh at loosing.."know your limitations" is the key..
I'm just being honest..there are people who worked hard yet they only get enough for "basic" needs or sometimes not even the basic..I just respect their reasons for doing that because I also have that same reasons..and even if I don't I would still respect them..money can't buy happiness but it can give you decent life that you can share to others especially your family..
And there's nothing bad with dreaming I guess ;)Happy mylotting..=)

I sometimes bet the lottery. Especially if the jackpot is high. I have tried winning from it, only the minor prizes. Though I have not tried winning the jackpot. How I wish I can win the jackpot someday. But I also limit myself from betting. I just do it maybe once a week or once a month so it is not that big loss for me if my ticket doesn't win.

I'm not sure about this but when i was attending a seminar, the topic went a little to lottery and there was someone there that said he worked before for PCSO and claimed that the lottery is a fake and told up to not bet on it anymore. I'm not sure about this. I never really asked the guy personally.

Hi, Khaezi.
I have bet several times before. Also unfortunately, I have never been picked. I am a person who has no fate and luck. Nowadays, everyone experiences hardships. Frankly speaking, betting in lottery just for fun but not for real career is acceptable. Life needs our seriousness and persistence not merely the luck to achieve our goals. God bless to all.
Happy mylotting!

I betted on the lottery and I lost. I didn't get any of the numbers to match. If I would of won, I would win millions of dollars.

No never.. because i don't like lottery.. because i think if once you are in habit of lottery then it is good for you.. because i have seen many peoples who have very badly habit of lottery and they invest their all money in lottery.. and now they have nothing.. they loose everything in lottery.. so i don't like this.. have a nice day and keep mylotting always..

Hello..yeah there are people who really get addicted on betting..here in my country the lottery cost only less than a dollar so it doesn't hurt my pocket that much..and I bet once or twice a month lol
People should know that everything in excess of enough can really be bad..they should consider the limitations of their own doings..
Thanks and God Bless..=)

i buy 2 lottery tickets every week. I am from the uk and I have bought a ticket every week from the beginning of the national lottery here. I have won small amounts between £10 and £150 but considering my investment all those weeks I have lost out overall. i always buy a ticket for that one in a million chance. Like a lot of people I dream it just might be me!!!

Ive bought the lottery every week, just one line so it doesnt cost me that much, Ive never won any big amounts although I did win £10.00 once but thats it! Ive played online bingo as well and once made a mistake on the cards I was buying, I thought they were 1p each but they were £1, so I thought I had lost a lot of money when infact I actually won the game, so ended up making my money back.
Im very careful of all these betting games because I find them very addictive, so I set a limit on what I will spend and make sure all the winnings go straight into my bank account otherwise I know I will spend the winnings straightaway! Which is not really a good thing as I know I will end up losing money!

Believe in yourself first than aiming to get money without any effort.coz if we bet in a lottery and if we cant get it then we not only under pressure but also our selfimage is lost.
