In our area we have the powerball lottery. it is up to 200 million so my husband just had to play. Ofcourse we didn't win and there went $5 down the tubes. Do you play the lottery? Have you ever won?

Sometimes when I see the prize amount I think wow and want to buy a ticket. But I know I never win, so when I feel like buying a ticket I put the amount of money in my piggybank. At the end of the year I have a nice amount of money too. So that is my own little jackpot, because if I had bought a ticket, it would be money down the drain

In our place we have this so called "LAST TWO" DIGITS. If you bet and happen to luckily got the last two numbers of lottery to be raffled every night, you win! But i really am not much on betting. It feels really good to win. I won twice. As for the numbers of times i gambled or bet, i can still count with my fingers. Hehe. Lottery though is a game of chance.

I do when I remember to do it. Sometimes I don't have any money to play. I haven't won yet, but it would be a world changing experience if I did.

hi Ravinskye yes, I am guilty of playing at at least 3 lotteries, one of which weekly, and two - monthly (once a month) I cannot help it and am sure that I will hit a jackpot some day (and hopefully soon :)) And yes, i have won on several ocasions, an not really that much, but enough to keep me doing it. The most I have ever won was $580, so - nothing to write home about, but enough to maker you see that it can be done :)

Every once in a while I will play. Not often at all though. Occasionally I will think about it, feel lucky and play and sometimes I think of it, feel lucky and forget to get a ticket! I probably played the pick 6 and mega millions 3 or 4 times in the past couple of years. I usually gamble in Atlantic City. I have much better luck and if I lose money(or if I win), they give me money back on my next trip. Oh and they give me free rooms to bring the kids down to the beach for a couple of days at a time.
