In the end this might save you money, if she’s buying $2 lottery tickets instead of shopping as her pleasure, but if she does exceed the cost new clothes with her lottery tickets, you can glue them together and make her wear them. XD
You know “38” is the most drawn lottery number, it’s been drawn 314 times since 1994. She may have a better chance if she…oh wait, her only chance of winning is getting on Bea’s good side!
I remember a guy buying 100 dollars worth of scratch offs. He did everyone finally “winning” 10 dollars. He leaped about the office shouting his good luck! I congratulated him with a reminder he was now only 90 dollars poorer. Never phased him…….he used his winnings to buy 10 dollars. Lost it all……..but stills buys them convinced he’s a winner! Playing in fun is harmless……being obsessed with it is pointless…….but funny watching her roll about the floor in “I was this close!!!” moment.
In a paraphrase from “Perfect Strangers,” you have a better chance of being struck by lightning than winning the lottery—-but who wants to buy a ticket for that?
As I tell people, I win the lottery every week. I don’t play. If I would put in a low interest bank account the amount of money some people spend on lottery tickets each week, I would be closer to having the mega millions they are hoping for a lot sooner they could ever expect to win.The lottery is a fixed game that greatly favors the “house”.
Per wonderoplis.org your chances of winning are “In a lottery in which you pick 6 numbers from a possible pool of 49 numbers, your chances of winning the jackpot (correctly choosing all 6 numbers drawn) are 1 in 13,983,816. That’s 1 shot in almost 14 million.”

Sam, print up some bedroom lottery tickets. One to forty-five (or whatever the numbers go to) choices…..
(And if you can’t think of 45 different things to do,…. Why are you reading this strip?)
Whatever the numbers are on Saturday night’s draw, each and every one has to be done before sunrise Sunday.

Why to bother?, if you read well the result, it means is all fixed, the system will not choose any printed sequence.

Sam, you have two options: Either get a raise, or give an intervention!

Does anyone else think she looks like her mother in panel 2? That’s what playing the lottery will do to you, Sedine!

Hey Bear, have Sedine pick me 5 numbers between 1 and 69, (snicker) and 1 number between 1 and 26 and we’ll put her in our office pool today.

There’s a reason it’s called the IDIOT’S Tax, Sedine.

A lottery is a tax on the mathematically illiterate. Although, occasional players are not taxed as hard.

Panel 3 says it all. With every rush to the top, there is a corresponding crash.
