MM $5, PB $2, Powerplay $1IReply
My thought is if a person is struggling financially that they can't afford an extra dollar, they shouldn't be gambling in the first place. It's easy to say it's only 2 or 3 dollars , but if finances are that tight, don't blow it on the lottery, or any gambling.

Why do some people call this gambling?
First of all, I don't play to gamble. I play to win! and when I win, how is it gambling? I only play when I know I'm going to win. So why do they call it gambling???? I keep winning.

People think gambling is risky.Reply
Of course gambling is risky. That's the whole point -- risking your money hoping to win. As far as your statement that everyone should gamble, that is just ridiculous.

State lotteries depend on people gambling more than they should. They sell more tickets in poor neighborhoods because people are trying to win their way out of poverty.
