Topic	Do you ever play the lottery?
Tails 64 07/15/18 3:59:16 PM #37:	Chewster posted... Some really dumb logic in this topic. "It's just throwing money away!" The tickets are like $2... I think most people can afford $2 once in a while. It's not something you're meant to play every drawing. Most people probably throw away more money on a weekly basis on coffee, fast food, cigarettes, alcohol, etc.; I bet they could fit $2 every few months into their budget. You get nothing from a lottery ticket, realistically speaking. There are plenty of nifty little things you could save up for by not spending $2 every so often on them. "It's only worth it if it's a high jackpot!" Uh, what difference does it make if you only win $100 million instead of $700 million? It's a several thousand percent return either way if you win. Plus the high jackpots that get a lot of publicity end up with more players, which means a higher possibility that it ends up splitting winners anyway. I'll agree with you here, though. --- http://TinyURL.com/Learn2Learn101 - My advice for surviving college and writing academically http://TinyURL.com/SirNintendolot - My YouTube channel <cite>Tails 64 posted [p:905126979] in Do you eve...
