How often do you buy a lottery ticket?

Bought my first ticket in about 3 years last week. Reason I did, was two numbers just came into my head. Went to the store, put the two numbers in every column. Believe it or not the two numbers came up, 12 and 36.
Still didn't win anything lol

Hopefully at some stage in the future six numbers will enter my head

How often do you buy a lottery ticket?

I like the scratch offs better, but usually buy the big ones when there pretty high up there. Not sure why, I could use a million dollars just as much as 85 million

I'm like the other guys here...I'll buy a few if the jackpot is like $50 million. Once in a blue moon I'll buy one or two scratchoffs. Around here they have up to $20 scratchoffs and from my limited experience I seem to have better luck with the higher ones.

twice a week if I can remember to

its a very stupid bet but IMO it may be worth somewhere around $1.19 worth of action, thats value

worst part isnt losing a few bucks every week but admitting to yourself you will do anything to never work again

once every month or two...

it's fun to dream... but dreaming too much means you are sleep walking through life...

guess it's kind of like dropping a coin in the fountain... lol

I buy a $2 scratch off every week (sometimes $5)

Won $100 a couple of times. Seems to have better odds of winning on the lesser denominations in GA.

I used to buy them as part of a group at work. I sometimes get them at the convenience store if I don't want to carry around change in my wallet. Finally I get them occasionally when visiting family as they like to play so it gives us something to talk about when we have literally nothing else in common.

I buy lotto and scratch off tickets maybe 3 times a year. My wife buys them everyday. What makes me happy is when she says I won 2, 3, 5, 10 dollars etc. I do not ask her how much todays tickets cost. We all have our crutches.
