Do you participate in lotteries where you live? How many tickets do you buy? Do you have a lucky set of numbers or do you use random ones?
I know in the United States, most people have a state lottery and a country as a whole lottery. What are your thoughts of how much money they give, receive? Would you change the lottery in any way?
I buy a lottery ticket every now and then. I used to do it quite often but once you realise that the chances of winning is so low, you will reduce your investment on lotteries.
Not very frequently. There isn't a lottery in AL, but I also don't like that lottery games put the players at a disadvantage. If you calculate the expected value of a lottery ticket, it's a lot less than it costs, which means that buying one means you effectively lose money. And the chances are so low anyways that it's almost like throwing the money away. 😛
Hey ! Of course, I love lotteries, usually I buy 1 ticket when I go shopping once a week, once I won, the last 3 digits were 688, these are my lucky numbers. But since I switched to remote work, I only buy tickets online for usa lotteries online
Yes, I have one at least 20 bucks or something once. Anyway, as with poker machines, a large bankroll will pull you thru, but it's never a sure thing - as "The house always wins." 😎
I used to when our state pushed the lottery to help elderly, now they just advertise gambling triggers to push it on our state's growing gambling addict population.
Wanna know a funny secret? Last year I won $25,000 on the lottery ($19,000 after taxes). I didn't even buy the ticket, At the grocery store people scan loosing scratch offs and throw them in the recycle bin sooo I would go in every once in a while and scan for the 2nd chance drawing. My wife was always sooo embarrassed until I won, now even during covid she is like when are you gonna start doing that again. lol
