I do every once in awhile. I don't do it very oten though. Occasionally I will get scratch and lose oops I mean scratch and win tickets but the most I have ever won is $15. I wish I could hit the jackpot but I apparently am not lucky.

I play only once a while. I will buy more often whenever the jackpot price is high after weeks of accumulation without any winner. Now our Toto 6/52 jackpot has reached the maximum value of 20 millions. So, I bought in the last draw, but unfortunately no people got the jackpot yet. So, my friend and I will give another try in the coming draw.

I used to but gave it up. It is one of the things I cut out.

Hey sweet, I don't play the lottery at all, but my boyfriend does. He is a scratch off addict! He wins all the time and the goes and buys more with the winning money. This drives me crazy because he really wins!~ He won $40 and spent it all on more tickets and then lost it all! The other night we were on our way home from shopping and he bought a ticket, scratched it off in the store, won $10, the guy went to hand it to him and I snatched it and ran. He was laughing and trying to get it from me, but I wouldn't give it to him. Of course, in the end I did because he conned me as usual saying he was going to use half of it for the laundry money! The other $5 he bought more tickets!

I never play the lottery, the odds are just too outrageous for my liking. I do like to get scratch cards now and then though, they are fun

Every now and then I will buy a lottery ticket, but I have not been buying them that often, because somehow i am just not finding as many winning tickets as I used to, I used to be able to break even quite often on the instant win tickets, but now those easy winners are getting harder and harder to come by.

I will sometimes buy them, but not all that often. I do not normally win very much if anything. I did once win $100 on a $1 scratch off ticket. That was a shock. Most of the time though I may as well toss a dollar in the trash can as I walk past.

I've never won more than a few pounds on the UK national lottery and I don't think I've ever even entered the Euro one. My sister sometimes buys me scratchcards which she puts in Christmas cards and things, and I've won my money back on those a few times, but never anything significant. I think that long term you are better to keep your money under the bed than to play lottery with

You are most likely correct! I keep trying to keep my money in a old fashioned milk jug but no matter where I hide the jug my daughter finds it.

Try hiding it in the bottom of the laundry basket, or under some dirty dishes. It would be safe in my house somewhere like that!
