Your State Lottery

Post by Equinox2003 »

What is the biggest amount you have won? If you are a regular player
have you spent more than you won? Or have you won more than you spent?

$3 on my first try ever. (with a $1 card)

As opposed to one dumbass I knew who blew a few hundred on it or something like that. (he completely wasted a big lawsuit award he got out of a car accident)

I've played the National Lottery a couple of times in my dismal lifetime, and won a couple fo times (erm, No, I've played quite a few times, and won a couple of times)

The most I ever won was £97, for matching four numbers. Which is dismal. Last week, I won £10 for matching 3. Indeed.

$0. Lotteries are a waste of money.

Have a very nice day.

I don't waste money on the Lottery, aka "The Stupid-people's Tax", except when the Powerball hits some ridiculous amount.

I've gotten my college tuition paid by the lottery and I haven't put in a cent myself. :P

Never played. Just was never really interested.

I fantasize about winning the lottery all the time. Not the big jack pot, just 30-40 grand. Enough to really help, but not change my life in ways I can't imagine.

Of course you have to play to win, but I know its a stupid tax, so I don't play.
