Who Here Hates the Lottery With a Passion

[curling]

I swear everytime I am in a hurry some brain dead loser is trying to pick out some different $1 lottery games then they change their mind and want a different one. Then they claim their $9 winning ticket and buy $15 more tickets. Then you got the crack pots that spend 20 to 40 bucks a week and the lotto. I just want to say to them you know your chances are better to get struck by lightning twiice then win that sucker don't ya? But I don't. I remember one time this dude comes in and the clerk is tellling him about these new lotto games and he says, "wow now I have even more chances to win." Sorry charlie now you have more chances to lose.

I haven't seen the lottery help education one bit since they passed that nonsense which was the only way it would have got voted in. All I see it do is exploit the poor even more because people with wealth are smart enough to no it is a losing proposition.

I love the lottery. It's a tax on people who are too stupid to do math -- and it doesn't get any more fair than that.

Did you get held up grocery shopping at the Mini Mart Stop n Rob again?

You should try those big grocery store places..
They have special lines for Lottery tickets, keeping grocery delays to a minimum..

Yea dude but when these people can make ends meet guess who pays for their food stamps? Me and you that's who.

Ylifter, yea it was at one of those dang convient stores. What an oxymoron "convenience"

Now if you could only use food stamps to buy lotto tickets, we'd see Darwinism really take effect.

[Big Rick Rock]

I bought a lottery ticket once about ten years ago.. neeless to say I didnt win and gave up. I suck at playing the lottery.

 

[havoc]

I like the lottery, 1 or 2 bucks a week isn't going to hurt.

I wouldn't say I love them, but I buy the occasional Powerball ticket.

It is fun to think about what you would do with 70 million.

I bought a lotto ticket twice.
Each time I could barely freakin' sleep, I was either calculating odds in my head or spending the money mentally ALL night.

I'd think of cool shit to buy, then calculate the odds and realize I couldn't win.

 

[stevexpress]

the only ones who win already have one foot in the grave don't have any family, just move to florida get skin cancer and die.

Regardless of the Odds....

U Can't win if you don't play..

[coldblue1955]

people should put that money in the bank and let that money grow instead of wasting it on lottery tickets.

 

[Robert Jan]

The lottery is tax for people who are bad at math. Which I essentially find a very noble initiative

It happens to the ones that can't control money!, A year ago this plumber i know won $50.000 in lotto, he then go to the store down from me, this lady ahead asks for 5 lottery tickets but finds she only has enough for 4 tickets, well the plumber says i'll take the remaining ticket since its torn from the roll, the F**ker wins another $50.000 and now doesn't have a thing to show for it!

[help4john]

As this post painfully points out.

I read the chances of winning are actually much worse than the back of the ticket will even admit. I used to think it was about = to getting struck by lightning, but I saw someone on TV explaining how it's more like the chances of getting struck by lightning 55 times or something to win mega millions
