Not me. Never wore a mask and never will, neither do the employees at the gas station who sell me my lottery tickets every day.

Just had to voice my opinion. What's yours?

Never give up.

I keep my distance from people and put on my 12-month-old "disposable" mask if I enter a store, but I don't play as much any more. Lotto isn't that important. Mask wearing has dropped off around here. Used to be you'd see people masked up to walk their dogs, now it's maskless dog walking but still we just keep our distance.

I don't really care what others do. Hide in your attic til 2022, or lick every doorknob on your way to the mini mart to play your daily numbers.

Doesn't stop me at all.

But every store where I am has a "MUST HAVE A MASK TO ENTER" sign on the front door.

When playing the lottery the thing that should matter the most is: Are you winning more than you spend? Good Luck!!!

I wear a mask everday. Its mandatory all over the state. I was filling out my pick 3 slip the other day at my usual store. The clerks at this store are very serious about covid and masks. That's when I saw a confrantation between a clerk and customer because the customer walked in without a mask. He was told to leave the store! The man ignored him and the clerk landed up slamming him against the wall. The police came and filed a report but the clerk still has his job .

Everyone i know who didnt wear a mask has died from covid. Its a no brainer. All the people in the ICU in the hospitals said the should have taken the virus more seriously. The hospitals and morques are overflowing with covid patients.

Win!

The hospitals have more patients now because they (and most doctors offices) were shutdown for a dog gone month. As far as your comment "everyone I know who didn't wear a mask has died from covid" I call BS on that statement. Looks like no one dies from heart attacks, stroke, car accidents, etc... anymore huh? Its all from covid??? Give me a break.

Never give up.

Nobody wants to get infected because others didn't want to take precautions.

Those who run the lotteries love it when players look for consistency in something that's designed not to have any. So many systems, so many theories, so few jackpot winners.

There is one and only one 'proven' system, and that is to book the action. No matter the game, let the players pick their own losers.

Yeah, so Trump had the flu that he had to be airlifted to Walter Reed Hospital and pumped full of drugs? That Crede Bailey, the White House security director had part of his leg amputated after contracting Covid-19? This planet would be filled with people having amputated limbs if this was " just the flu."

Hey coin, if your afraid of going out in public, stay at home but don't trample on my civil rights. BTW cloth masks don't work. Walk past a woman wearing perfume, can you smell it through the mask? What does that tell you?

Never give up.

Now covid attacks human limbs? LOL! Now I heard everything. Where did you get that reliable reporting? CNN?

I can assure you that covid is real as I have lost friends to it. Also your civil rights do not extend to causing others harm because you didnt want follow simple guide lines during an epidemic.

NOTE: others that thought Covid was fake and even posted about it being fake later caught and died from it. Just something to think about.

Simple guide lines? Requiring people to wear masks? How about shutting down small businesses like restaurants, hair salons, barber shops etc... for months (destroying their livelihoods) while big box stores stay open? My civil rights extend to everyone. Did you ever hear about the constitution of the United States of America or about the brave men and women who fought and died to give us those rights?

BTW 99% of people who get this virus get over it. If someone is very old or has health issues, they need to take precautions. Nuff said. I really shouldn't have to argue this point.

Never give up.

A White House official who fell ill with Covid-19 in September is recovering after three months in the hospital, though he lost his right foot and lower leg in his battle against the virus, according to a friend.

Crede Bailey, the director of the White House security office, was the most severely ill among dozens of Covid-19 cases known to be connected to the White House. Bailey’s family has asked the White House not to publicize his condition, and President Donald Trump has never publicly acknowledged his illness.

Bailey’s friends have raised more than $30,000 for his rehabilitation through a GoFundMe account. The White House declined to say whether Trump has contributed to the effort.

“Crede beat COVID-19 but it came at a significant cost: his big toe on his left foot as well as his right foot and lower leg had to be amputated,” Dawn McCrobie, who organized the GoFundMe effort for Bailey, wrote Dec. 7.

l don't makeup stuff to prove a point.

"If someone is very old or has health issues, they need to take precautions."

I sure with that but as you said the "very old" have special needs and some might not understand the difference between the Covid-19 health risk and eating a dozen donuts at one sitting. We do understand the risk so shouldn't we be more mindful and at wash our hands and wear masks when around the "very old"?
