I dont remember exactly how much I lost. The tickets were $1 a piece, so $200 initially, but I won probably $120 back or so..

So it basically cost you $80. Was the fun and excitement worth it? Did you get you entertainment buck out of the deal? If yes, then it was worth it.

It always seems worth it when you start to gamble...but when you lose you're kicking yourself in the ass saying 'why did i spend that money?!'. But if you win you'd probably say 'it was so worth it!'

I'll spend a couple of bucks a year at most. I look at it as entertainment only, I know the odds are against me. :D

I used to work at a lil store, but we had the highest Scratch ticket sales for the State.. a town of 200 can survive on lottery..lol

I Used to get a lot of free tickets, People throwing them away because they didnt know how to play them, or didnt read them right.

They once did a special, turn in I0 losing tickets and get one free.. No one cared they just threw their tickets away.. The end of one night, I collected the thrown out ones.. I got like almost I00 free tickets.. came out with a little over 200 hundred dollers from them..lol that was cool.. I just hate spending money on the damn things.. mostly bcse they can become addictive.

then you better not go to the casinos.

My friend and I worked in A.C. for a little and went to the casinos when we weren't working. We made out really good there, but it got to the point that the people there knew who we were!

I avoid them.. I can control myself.. But I know I can easily become one of those.." Oh the next one will be the one" It's an easy theory to believe.. I avoid it..

My Dad.. If he has a buck, he buys a ticket.. When powerball was in the 200million.. He would litrally buy 500 bucks worth of tickets.. and maybe win I0 bucks back... Damn that would piss me off :mad

i dont play as much as some people do. one time i saw a guy put in 80.00 into the machine to get his tickets. he got 4 of them. (4) 20 dollar tickets.

he lost 80.00 just like that. i could feel his pain. i felt bad.

but you win some you lose some.

No, it wasn't worth it. This sums it up nicely

I buy them occasionally. I usually buy the ones which are raising money for the London 2012 Olympics and if I make a few quid, all the better!:)

the most i ever won was $20 on a $1 ticket about 5 years ago. i dont buy lottery tickets much...maybe once every 3-6 months.

and this bring me to a rant...

they need a seperate line for lottery tickets here. i get tired of getting behind some fucktard who is trying to decide what 20 tickets of different games they wanna play.then they will try and scratch em off in front of you. it also pisses me off that people playing the numbers one will fill out the damn ticket in line meanwhile im getting so damn pissed cause their no job having ass cant figure out what numbers to play. im tired of getting behind people like this every time i go to a convenience store...

I'm up a couple hundred bucks on scratch off....the key is not to let yourself get sucked in and play them only once in a while
