I started doing this a month ago. I'm not addicted to it. I buy only one ticket a day choosing the same numbers. It's not that I'm so poor and so anxious to have a lot of money. It's just I believe in miracles. If one out of ten million people can win a fortune, why can't I? I'm exactly one of them. With that fortune I can do many more things and experience more. What about you guys. Do you buy them? Wanna try it?

i think i would prefer scratch tickets. it's more likely that you can win a little something. i would only do it sometimes, though.

I like the way the anticipation builds up as I scratch the ticket. My son says that after he scratches off the top row he can tell if the ticket is a winner or not. So far he has been right except for one time. They are fun no matter what. Now give me a slot machine and I am really happy.

I have bought them for years and I gave up on it I have a better chance of getting hit by a car then to win any thing more then a few dollars but wish you the best may you hit the big one

Getting hit by a car is also possible,so I'm very careful everytime I drive or walk on steets. What I do is just think about the good things and believe good things will happen to me. Cheers.

Thanks balckrusty, I won't. I take it as a slight tiny chance to make my life different, but don't give up that tiny chance.

I have bought them several times. But I am really not into it that much. But my father in law is a lottery addict! Just imagine him, a 73 year old man, limping coz he had stroke 7 years ago. But still he comes to the mall almost everyday to bet. If he can't leave, he will ask my husband to bet in his behalf. I find it funny for him to be still wanting to have more money when he has lots of it now that he has kept real good and invested on a lot of properties.

Now I see what I can do for fun when I'm very old. Good luck to your father in law and also wish him a good health.

I used to buy lottery tickets but i never won anything, i was very close.. i thought that maybe with those money i can do something else for me, like save them and invest when i'll have a good amount.

I do believe you can do something serious if you save a small amount daily for a while. I still want to try my luck, though. Good luck with whatever you want to do with your amount.

Right now, I stop buying lottery tickets. But before, I always buy at least once every draw just to have a chance of winning. Nothing to lose! I am not addicted to that, its just that, I wanted to have a chance of winning in that multi-million stake. At least in your life, you have 1% of chances of winning, rather than nothing at all.

I haven't tried it yet, but I'm willingly to go buy one though. The only thing that is holding me back is the time to go get one.

You won't believe how desperate my father in law could be. He would always go to the mall and buy the tickets. And he just don't buy those, he even buy those scratch cards wherein one can win instantly. He spends the whole afternoon in the mall scratching all those cards that he can buy from the money he has. I think he spends about $60 a day on those cards alone.

I also hated walking to a lottery station or when I needed to find one, but now problem solved cuz I can always buy them online. I guess you can also do it online.

Yes,i am trying it for many years,but never won any huge amount.We cant say when luck will come our way.Trying it is not a bad thing but addicted to it is not a good thing.

i started to try it out, but then i figured out that the amount of money i spend on those tickets could be going back into my business where i will make some money. i just don't feel i would be able to win anything by playing the lottery. i don't believe my luck is that great. good luck to you, though. hope you win.

I take it as something fun. I enjoy the second which is before I start to know the result.

Yes, i do buy lottery ticket, i want to be able to hit the super-jackpot and become rich through winning a fortune. If i don't play, i can't win, in order to win, i have to try, you just have to do what is necessary to keep your dream alive, i'm sure one day i will be a winner and miracle will happen so that i can do many more things and experience more like you. After all, buying a lottery ticket causes no harm to anybody, why not give it a try??

Hello,
I have bought some of them before few years, but I wasn't so lucky so I stopped to believe my luck. I know that there are a lot of people who have win a lot with first time and a lot who didn't win even after 100 times. So don't try to get more addict.

Don't stop believing your luck.I mean those who actually won a lottery were very likely to have believed in their luck too.

I am not really lucky with raffles and lotteries like that. But once in a while, I would try my luck and buy lottery tickets. Just to see if I would be lucky this time and be granted a chance to be rich. Sometimes I would even say a little prayer that I will make good with the prize money if God will let me win just this once. Hey who knows, He might get irritated with me always praying for it He might just to decide to answer my prayers.

Or when I think I need a cake while I'm on diet. I would probably use that money to buy lottery. :D
