How much do you "invest" in the lottery?

How much money do you "invest" in the lottery each month?

The most I've ever spent on the lottery is 16 dollars. I think my fiancé bought two tickets herself. The jack pot was 90 million and we really wanted that money. When I was buying my tickets, the couple in front of me had spent 180 dollars. No one in Missouri won. Someone in Idaho won that money though.

15% of my take-home pay. The lottery always pays for itself.

So, you're a winner?

Make that 20 dollars. I bought 10 tickets last night. The Powerball jackpot is at 700 million 😀

Sounds legit.

I’ve purchased lottery tickets a few times on a whim, but it’s definitely not something I choose to put money towards regularly. I don’t care to throw money away.

I've never bought a lottery ticket in my life.

I haven't purchase a lottery ticket before or now. I used to know some people that won the lottery ticket but I don't have the heart to put the little money I have in it.

I wouldn't consider it to be an investment. I don't buy lottery tickets.

 

[Allenafaith]

None. We don’t have a lottery in my state and I am not driving across state lines. 😅

Noting really, I end up spending one to two tickets once in a blue moon, I do not invest. Not like you win anything or get major money back.
