Do you play the lottery?

Waste of money

Nope!

I can't stand to waste money on that... such a slim chance to win.

Not on a regular basis. Once in a while I will buy 1 ticket

Nope.

Only when its a roll over

Why don't I use dollar bills as toilet paper while I'm at it?

IDK.

I mostly play the scratch tickets. Better chances of winning.

yes

husband does

The very first week of the UK lottery I won £74, and thought Hey, this is an easy way to make money!

Did you spend it on more lottery tickets? :)

Yep, some of it. Needless to say I didn't win again ;((

I haven't won in a while. Maybe, it's fixed. LOL

I was thinking that as well. LOL!!

No, never.

about 4 times a year

I never win those things. I might as well toss money out the car window.

I have a 401 k lol

gambling by any other name -

Maybe once or twice a year. I am not that much on gambling as the odds are never in your favor to win.

Too young and even if I wasn't I wouldn't

If I happen to be visiting a state that has a lottery, I'll buy a ticket. My state doesn't have one, though, and I'm not going to drive 90 miles to a state that does.

Its a waste of time & money plus its a 50/50 chances that you will win the money

I consider the lottery a tax on those who are bad at math.

In my office, 4 years ago a lottery pool was started. Everybody who was in put in $2 per week. If they won small (less than $50) they put the winnings back in to buy more tickets rather than split a small amount 6 ways. Once they won $100, so they each took $10 and used the remaining $40 to buy more tickets. Every other week they either won nothing, or got $3-$10 which they reinvested by buying more tickets with the winnings. So in 4 years each individual spent $400 so they could pocket $10.
I took the same $2 per week, bought a paper with it, clipped coupons, and saved on average about $50 per week on groceries. In 4 years that comes to about $10,000 less that I have paid on groceries.

They are out $400, I have saved $10,000. Who's investment of $2 per week has performed better?

You can't win if you don't play. I do limit it to one quick pick for each game. Unless it gets to be very large, over 100 Million, and we get a pool going out at work. Then I do 6 per game. Five for the pool and one personal.

few times/ year

On occasion. I played it alot more often years ago.

I have a more guaranteed way of giving 1 & having back at least 2 . Whenever I feel like playing lottery I give money to some poor people . Somehow , it is coming back to me ( an unexpected raise in the salary , money found on the street , etc. etc. :)

Sometimes...

$52.00 per year.

not all the time, but I have on occasion

Once in a great while
