Hi,everyone.. Do you buy lotteries ?I have never bought even one..as I don't think I'm so lucky..and lottery always means gamble to me ... now I want to change my mind...as there are different kinds of lotteries in the world,one is called welfare lotteries...Even if I can't be the winner,,it's just like I did some charity... of course,if I can win,,I can get some money,so I can do some business of myown... so what do you think?

For most of us, winning the lottery is the only possible way we could become rich. Not much chance of it happening though! I object to the price of the tickets. Here a full ticket costs between ten and forty euros for the different state lotteries. That's quite a lot of money to waste when you are watching the pennies anyway.

That's a good idea. Haven't heard of a welfare lotteries, just this now after reading your post. Just like you I am not a gambler too, I don't think I am lucky for such a thing. But yes, as what I've started this comment that I agreed unto it, but i have a slight suggestion as well. Why not just try volunteering! That way, that's more charitable enough and directly because sometimes welfare lotteries as you name it are not sure if they will really give the money to charities. You know, it seems that are just fooled and you even gambled.

Hi, well I have to say that at the time I'm trying my fortune,,I can also do some charity... The welfare lottery is under strict superwise of government...everyyear some schools and hoppitals are built by the money they collect...so we don't have to worry about it...^^

Well I would like to buy every time they will draw it but I don't have time to buy it or a place near me to buy it. If you can win then it changes your life so why not! Just don't spend too much on it.

i guess you should try yes^^ you lose nothing by trying but the best way to be the winner is to join with your friends and all of you give a bit of money and buy a few tickets with different numbers and when you win you split the money. if you earn the first prize is a lot really so all of you be rich anyway^^ thats the best way to win^^ here in my country a group of 20 i guess played together always and they won one time and it was millions what they won so millions split in 20 is a lot really. both be with a lot of money so i guess we could all play with our friends and try our luck^^

Hi zhpshql, I dont interest anything about lotteries because it kind of gamble. Sometime we're lucky, but sometime we're unlucky. But what did you mean with "lotteries for charity"?

I buy them every now and then especially when the jackpot is high. Sometimes I find money in the street and I use it to pay for it. I figure it was lucky finding the money on the street so it will be lucky to play with it. I haven't won anything yet.

As i know in my country there's no any legal lottery here. More than ten years ago, there was a lottery game governed by our government. But later it was erased because many people said if lottery had made people become lazy to work and become a day-dreamer to win a lot of money by just guessing numbers. But i think lottery for fun is not a big problem as long as we can control our expenses and time for doing primary job first. Good luck for you and have a nice day. Happy mylotting.

I buy lottery ticket whenever I learn from the news that the stakes are really big. I enjoy entertaining the idea on what I'm going to do with the money if I win. Of course the chances of winning is so slim, but those who won had that very slim chance as well, right? Not that my life depends on it, but it won't hurt either if I get so lucky and have a windfall.

Hi there. I've never buy a lottery for my own, but I did ever buy a lottery for someone else. I'm not a lucky person and winning a lottery is a very small chance. But if it is some kind of donation I will buy it, but I have never met any.

Hi,my friend!Since you have such a enthusiasm,you can buy them for a while.But I'll never touch them,I can tell you. About 5 years ago,also I got interested in buying welfare lotteries.At the beginning I won 300 yuan or so,but the more I bought,the more I lost,at least I lost more than 4000 yuan of my pocket money within 2 years!Immediately I stopped buying! How much will you earn?Good luck!!

There's a nearly impossible chance of winning, even if you buy 5 million lottery tickets you still have a 50/50 chance of winning. However, nearly impossible doesn't mean impossible so by all means go for it! You never know, you could win alot of money.

I have never bought the lottery and I never will. Whether I feel like I'm really lucky or not, I believe that the lottery is a waste of money. And yes, like you said, the lottery is like gambling. Gambling can easily take away your money if you're really not careful. It's to risky to be gambling and that's why I don't want to buy lotteries.
