I've known people who have won on lotto tickets. We usually buy a ticket with our usual grocery shop. We don't expect to win but it's nice if we win a little.

I won 10,000 on a scratch ticket and frequently 20,10 or 5 on them. I quit playing them lately though, think I am over it!

I don't purchase lottery tickets; I feel like it's a waste of money. I got other stuff that needs to be bought. I highly, highly doubt I could ever win a big lottery- I can barely win the penny slots at the casinos.

I don't bother with any of those. I'd rather put the money spent on them away in an account - I'll be richer quicker than throwing my money away.

I figure the odds of winning back your dollar are decent enough so why not? I know quite a few people who've won small amounts.

No, never buy them.

If someone gave some to me, though, I'd use them.

I buy lotto tickets and have won. I won $500 three months ago.

That is a quote I may steal to use on all my friends. Great one!!!

So..honestly, does his "program" actually work? Has he won anything, or does he actually win on a "regular basis"?

We never buy any except maybe once in while get us each a $1 scratch off. Never won more than $50. My dad and my hubby bro go to casino and they end up walking out with a couple thousand, more than they put in. They have luck I do not.
Oh my....maybe you should have those lucky guys buy you a ticket???

Wow. Congrats. How cool is that?

Alrighty then. If your "premonition" ends up landing you half a billion dollars tonight, will you at least post it here to let us know???

When the jackpot gets high, I'll buy a ticket or two. Honestly, I don't think there is any chance of me winning anything. But it does give me something to daydream about on my daily commute.

My uncle won 10 thousand dollars once. People win the lottery everyday so anythings possible.

I'll do it when the jackpot gets big, but I know it's buying a dream more than any real chance of winning. Don't know what I'd do if I actually won

I don't because with my luck I know I would never win.
