I amazed daily in the lotto station where I can see many people fall in line to buy lotto tickets. Poor and rich people gonna buy the tickets out there, whatever kind it is. Hello mylotters whom of you here like to buy tickets like this? Have you won even once in your life after buying more tickets daily? Even those other people have no menu at home for the meal still they choose first to buy tickets than food. How long is your hope to be a winner someday in this draw?

Hi geniustiger, here we do have lotto stations here and there. We call it Toto here and there are 6/52, 6/55 and 6/58 Toto as well as the 5D and 6D Toto. And these Totos have their respective award money. The grandest the award is the least of opportunity to win the supreme prize of course. Most of the time we will lose our bet instead of becoming the lucky dog. So why to dump our hard- earned money simply betting it. Since there is nearly no chance to win the jackpot so I don't have any interest to buy any Toto ticket. But it's no harm to try my luck by spending a few dollars to join our friends, yeah if I'm asked to share the tickets for fun once in a while Happy posting

The lottery is a voluntary tax on those that are bad at math. True, someone has to win, and it might as well be you, but do the math. With Appreciation.

Never be sorry with me, your opinion is yours, and it is valid. Where does the money that is not paid out in a Lottery go? In my country it goes to the government, and since they get more then they pay. I consider it a tax. I completely agree that luck and fortune might happen, and that it would require both of those, I actually consider myself to be a lottery a lot of the time, since I could show you how to become a millionaire inside of 5 years, if that is something you were truly willing to work at. With Appreciation.

Oh I don't think so that if I am also buying for that ticket I am bad in MATH. I just believe of luck sometimes and fortune might be it happen. But I also think of sometimes to not do it everyday. I just buy if I have extra money for this hope. Sorry for my real comment but it is from within my heart too.

I like lotto but i find it a little expensive. One time, I had a false forecast that I will won on something like a game or a lottery. That time I made daily bet on lottery tickets but lol... until now I was hoping... I'll just wish someday... But I'll never exchange food for a lotto ticket. What if I win but I'm not eating... I'll get sick.. I'll die soon... I might not fully enjoy my winning lol...

You can buy many things what you want if you win. But if nothing to eat and you have exact money oh do first the food for you. Just have the tickets if you have extra sometimes.

Okay I respect of what your choice is markleob. You are so nice that you not be started of buying it. One's you started it, I guess you will be addicted to it for so long specially if you win even 4 to 5 digits.

I don't see the point, I don't bet at all but I can understand how a day out at a casino or watching sport with cash on it would be exciting but lottery is just queing up and then watching slow bingo.

Long time ago I bought the lotto tickets because I thought I could win something. I was so innocent at that time. I haven't bought the lotto tickets today for quite a long time because I understand money won't come so easy. I love China

Money is so hard to find now; specially of global crisis. So you have also the point to do it.

hi geniustiger, I work in a place that sells lottery tickets and the winners are almost none. I have worked at this place for 16 yrs and I have seen only one winner that was over 100.00 and that was NOT the jack pot. It was 10,000.00. The woman that won now spends 30.00 a week or more on tickets. Its crazy. Most winners are under 10.00 and even those are few and far between. I don't buy them. Sometimes I will buy a scratch ticket because your odds of winning are greater but even those have far more losers than winners. I don't understand why people spend so much of their hard-earned money on these things but they do.

Thanks for the information sid556! Those who are buying are they one winning it in a small amount . They wanted somehow the hope to win. We don't know our luck sometimes so there's a big faith on it for the lotto buyers.

I do play the lotto but not every single day; I'm not putting so much faith in it. I still believe that riches comes to those who works for it. With regards to winning, I did won once but only the consolation price.

Congrats that you already have the consolacion. Might be the next will be the first or second prize. You are a lucky person because you felt happy after the experience.

When the lottery first passed here, I bought tickets. Now I hardly ever buy them. I never really won anything but another ticket..lol..I just have no luck with it I guess. I always hear about people that win alot here and there but I never do. I just give up on the lottery thing.

Dont lose hope my friend might be you continue it for sometimes and then later you will win. I have already win in 3 digits only but in four and in four and five to six never. So try and try again or else in other draw lots , I know we have lucks but not yet come. Need more time to do so that it will come to your life heheheh.

Sometimes I buy tickets for my mom. My mom never won the jackpot but sometimes, she wins 4 to 5 digits. Its closer to the 6 digit jackpot. Maybe thats why she's motivated to buy again. I cant blame everyone who keeps buying tickets. This is because people are poor and wanted to get rich in an instant. There is no harm in trying. Who knows they might get lucky.
• Philippines

Correct! Your Mom are lucky too for she win already 5 digit and me not even 4 digit. Funny to say this but still have the hope to buy tickets but not daily only if I have extra fund for it. Luck comes any time , so how can we win if we not buy right?

A totally complete waste of money. Your better of just giving that money away to those who need it. Your chances of winning at any one time are astronomical and typically those people who do win wind up in worse shape than they were before they got that gigantic wad of money because they don't know how to handle it.

hi there daveyboy54! You know part of the profit will be given to the church fo the appropriation for those pity people don't have food to eat and alo less fortunate people in any different cases. At least if you buy one of it that is also one way of sharing your alms to the poor.

A lot of people wants to be rich the reason why they try everything possible to earn money and lottery is a good chance. But for me I don't believe in lottery or maybe I just felt unlucky that's why I don't bother to try it.

I see but for me even if not yet get a millionaire I think I have still an opportunity to win if not stopping to buy it. I did not do it daily for I will be pity ever and ever only if I have extra cash for it heheheh.

I buy them randomly, I usually buy the last one one the roll since I usually win when I do that and it make it worth my purchase. I do not buy more than 10 at a time. I have known friends that would buy the whole roll, and it does not come out from what they spent to what they earned. I do not like to throw my money away at chance. If I win, I win, I lose I lose,I will not spend my last dollar at hopes and dreams that are not a reality based decision.

At least you can also have chance for each day in the lottery. Might be 4 to 5 digits of not the total numbers. Yes that is true , over spending can also affect our budget.
