Not this time....

Well I am not a millionaire. Nope not this time. I have never really been the type to buy lottery tickets. But over the past weekend while I was out of town with my family my mom was buying a good amount of lottery tickets. I couldn't figure out why so I asked. She felt that people that lived south in our state win the lottery more, so she wanted to buy them while we were down there. So I thought, what I heck, I will too. So I was buying what was called the Fast Five. Which is five different lottery tickets for $6. I bought a set each day I was there. Making a variety of 15 tickets. I checked my winnings today....and I won two free tickets, and $4 dollars. I didn't even win my money back

. Of course, there is still hope with the two free tickets i got which I will check on Sunday.

. So wish me luck. How about you, do you play the lottery and do you play often?

I hope you win this time. I don't play the lottery but I often buy scratch cards. I don't win major prizes but still lucky to win back the money I paid for buying the cards.

I only play the lottery if I think about it, which isn't often. So far this year I've played the lottery 4 times I believe, not won a penny lol.

I never play the lottery. Some of the women I grocery shop with buy scratch off cards and sometimes they win, so I might try one or two of those at some point. But not yet.

@T_gray I don't have enough money to get addicted. My father was amazing with the lottery. He could pick winning numbers like no one I've ever seen. Unfortunately, he did not pass the talent along to me. So I'm careful with those things.

I usually don't @T_gray . That's 3 cans of cat food ($1), so at least it doesn't go to waste.

I play the lottery every week, but it is more a form of entertainment than anything else. I do not expect to win a vast sum, but the occasional small return can be welcome.

Only played once, so that answers the second question. I won $5.00 at that time, and treated friends to a hamburger.
