i dont understand it. I wait 10 mins in a LINE at a store for these people to spend there RSP checking, buying, and reserving lottery tickets. All i want is a stick of gum. Why, im sorry but is it really worth it being 80 years old, winning the lottery. Not even that, what do you got better to do at night then check the winning numbers that air on tv? It will save you and all of us behind you people in line time.

Well, my grandfather was an everyday lottery player. For him it was something to get out of the house to do. He never really had anything to do with his money so he played the lottery, in hopes of leaving some nice change behind for his family. When my grandfather won in 2001, he put that money into trust funds for his great grandchildren and I must say I believe my kids are richer than I am now. Thanks grandpa.

ive bought just a couple of tickets since they became legal here. i understand exactly where you are coming from. my mother in law however is there everyday all day. i cant stand to wait in line either when it comes to people that cant make up their mind before they get in line of what they want and how many it does get really annoying
