Your second sentence...I've said this many, many times over the years, and, even in a recent thread. The lotteries have to be able to pay the more experienced players that win regulary along with some lucky winners factored in also.

Attempting not to lose faith? What a weird statement. I thought the lottery was a game..not a god.

If you have feelings like these, then maybe playing the lottery is not for you. If you feel guilt or anxiety over a lottery ticket, you need to get another hobby. the only time I feel guilty is when I exceed my budget..which isn't often.

Well Rjoh, I never want anybody to feel bad about the days that they play the lottery. I want people to win, their heart's desire

All you're doing by discussion your feelings about losing is making the folks who win feel bad about something they can't change. Without losers there wouldn't be any prizes to win and they wouldn't play.

I don't feel guilty if i spend a few dollars a day on tickets- It is only discouraging for me If I don't win- and feel like I wasted the money, I could of used for something else- but basically I don't like to feel guilty. Just wish that I was wiser with the lottery numbers- that is all

Ahh, I see Elizabeth. Whatever someone wants to spend on the lottery is their business. I just wondered what you were feeling guilty about and

what you might spend the money on if it wasn't being spent on the lottery. I don't see anything wrong with spending the amount you do to

possibly come out hundreds/thousands of times ahead. It's important to understand the odds and the odds are it may never happen to you or

me. Then again there's a chance the next winner might be you but you do h... [ More ]

Interesting that you should ask dr65, considering you have a dr in front of your name. I'm certain that you are able to do simple addition problems and understand that $80. a month salted away will accumulate to almost $10k after 10 years and with interest could be DOUBLE that amount making it possible to buy a few extra tv dinners or possibly even take the wif out for a steak dinner and a dr pepper

Hello dr65- I don't enjoy spending the little amount at a time on the lottery, but I am not employed.. And still looking for a job in the meantime;

So, any other money I have I spend on buying milk and other groceries; as well as going on the bus, where I want to go.

Hope to enjoy playing the lottery more and profit so that I can splurge and enjoy life more, thank you

If you're talking about jackpot games, you'll have to accept the fact there will be many times where you are a loser.

Everyone has those feelings about buying a ticket, being excited about winning and then after the draw feeling like the same loser they were

last week. You have to accept if you want to play, it's not wasting money..it's taking a chance. If you go into it always wanting to win, fine

but if you lose you have to get over it. Quick. If this is what you like to do, act like... [ More ]

At some point Elizabeth03 you should become desensitized to losing on every draw. Its just the nature of how things work. The progression works something like THIS:

1. Im expecting to win

2. I sure hope I win.

3. It would be really nice if I could win.

4. Think of all the things I could have done if I had won.

5. SON OF A BISH....... IM NEVER GOING TO WIN.

Surly you jest BossMike. The Illuminati (in charge of all things) and the Lottery work very closely together to make sure that large winning lottery tickets were purchased with ligitimately obtained funds. Definitely NOT a good laundering location for your illegal activities.

Good point ttech10, if it caused me to worry I would find something else to do with the money. Playing the lottery is for entertainment value, buying a small chance at winning a jackpot so I can dream a little about spending the money, Nothing to worry about if I only spend a couple a bucks on each drawing.

ttech10 — Mon, 30 Jul 2012 23:03:07 GMT

How much do you spend each draw? I used to spend a higher amount each draw and I started feeling like you do, now I spend my $1 per draw (or the occasional $2 for PB) and I've never once thought twice about spending the money or wished afterwards that I had kept it.

One thing I look at is how much I spend and what that equates to that I can skip out or cut down on. So instead of getting something from a fast-food place I'll eat at home which, after two meals, makes up for the money spent... [ More ]

Hi haymaker, IPlayWeekly, BossMike; rcbbuckeye, weshar75, lotsofwins; and rdgrnr;

I have played advanced draw numbers ticking them off on the paper form, that you fill out, if a person wants to choose the same numbers in advance- but the numbers don't always show up, and I would really be wasting alot of money- so I like to choose different numbers, on different days;. But a person needs to play their numbers- whatever way is more comfortable for them

Elizabeth, if you are having second thoughts about how much you spend, then play just enough to be in the game . I usually spend about $30 a week but last week I got a major bug up the behind and blew over $50. That's real rare for me to do that, but I play with the mindset that I expect to lose more than I win. I'm really playing for the chance to win enough to retire. But I keep my expectations realistic.

Don't ever give up, whether its Lotto or anything else. There's to many other people winning, if they can do it so can you. Btw, lets say you eat a quick meal which is $6-$7, its money down the drain. By playing you're investing a few bucks into potentially changing your life. Keep a realistic budget and don't go over. I use my weekly $26 as part of my entertainment expense.

You should always play within your means....if you feel guilty even spending one dollar, then give up something.....eating out once a month or Starbucks. Look at what numbers won and spend a few minutes looking at past winning numbers and pick new ones. I can honestly say I have never felt disappointment and view it all as entertainment. I think if I ever won, I would probably first say darn it, when will I find time during weekly business hours to go claim it
