Mega is currently at $615 million for tonight’s drawing. It’s a waste of money until you win. Just wait for your friends an neighbors start asking for a piece.
Gambling is a game where you decide how much money you want to spend to play it. Then it becomes a matter of how long you want to play.
I play with at time limit. Sometimes I run out of money before I run out of time, in which case I call it a loss because I failed to entertain myself for the predetermined time. It’s a win if I am still playing when the clock runs out. Sometimes I have less money then when I started, sometimes more.
I have as much fun penny-ante as I do high stakes.
I do not consider our state lottery to be gambling: it’s an outright donation.
I’ve never gambled. Even as a kid I could see how silly it was to go to a fancy casino simply to lose money. I’ve been in Las Vegas casinos exactly twice for trade shows. Watching an elderly woman sitting in front of a one-armed bandit feeding it quarters or tokens one after the other for an hour sickened me. Half he people surrounding the aptly-named craps table looked dead. Not my cup of tea, thanks.

But how many tickets did he buy to win $5?

I always question when a family member gives us these for Christmas. I mean spending three dollars for a scratch off that earns you two?

I found a ticket in a parking lot, already scratched, a 5 dollar winner
I let it ride and got another ticket
It was a loser, should have taken the 5 bucks

One year, at work, I won 50 Megabucks sequences in a raffle. I got nuthin’. Not even a free ticket.

I’ll just say here I have long questioned the fiscal responsibility of states with lotteries.

When it comes to the lottery, the only one that gets lucky is the state.

I have to keep buying lottery tickets. I haven’t finished wallpapering my room with them yet.

In one book I read, the author called them “Scratch Tickets”.

The lottery is a tax on those who don’t do math.
