do you play lotto?

No, for most people buying a ticket is buying hope and I could never fool myself into thinking it's anything but false hope.

Sometimes. When the Euro Millions gets upto £96 Million ($100 Trillion Million Billion ) then I can't help but splash a fiver.

can someone convert that post to euro's for me, that is exactly what I do but I'm a bit lazy today.

I have before but it usually is far and in between. I buy the ticket knowing I am not going to win any thing. It is just fun to think for a few days what if I did when. Even then I only buy one ticket. It is only a dollar for some cheap fun.

I give my parents money to buy me scratch off tickets.. I've won a ton of small prizes, $50 once, $100 twice.. I can't wait till I'm 18

I don't play the state lottery (powerball, that sort of thing) but I do scratch tickets once in a while. I think I'm down a few bucks but its pretty close to even. I know a couple people who are up overall just playing the $2 liquor store scratch cards.

You've got a better chance at winning if you play than if you don't

Barely.

Besides, if we're basing this off chance, one has a better chance of being killed in a car accident on the way to the store to buy the ticket than actually winning.


...No, I don't play because I'm certain with my luck I'd get the car accident.

Or get struck by lightning.

IIRC, the odds of being struck by lightning are roughly ten times greater than winning the standard lotto.
