I haven't played the lottery in a long time to be honest, can't remember the last time I did it has been that long.
I remember when I was younger, my mum would allow me to choose my own numbers and would put them on for me on the lottery. Won £10 a few times which she gave me as they were my chosen numbers 🙂

Sincerely, I haven't played lottery all my life. But I remember when we were kids, my friend's dad played the lottery and he won. He won a large sum of money which he started preparing for their traveling out of the country.
If it had been recently that he won that lottery, the money will take only him out of the country because things were cheaper and affordable then. My friend is living large now. I don't know if there are people playing lottery in this my country.

I only play 2 dollars at a time and that is if the lottery reaches 1+ billion dollars. Because I am on a fixed income, I don't have extra money to play the lottery all the time.

Play lottery and any other kind of gambling is not something I would get into because I know I don't have any kind of luck that is going to make it possible for me to win such.

Gambling can make one rich, and it is also one of the fastest ways for anyone to become poor. When it comes to losing money via gambling, what is the highest amount you have lost?

It's better you don't because it will only bring you closer to bankruptcy. I know a man in my neighbourhood who lost everything on gambling.

I've never found myself in a position where I have to play Lottery I've only seen it where they do it in movies and passed a few lottery slots where I go for games but I've never attempted to take part in it

Unfortunately, gambling is not something I would ever get into even though I had a very good opportunity to even start a gambling business. My friend wanted us to run a betting shop together but I had to decline the offer because I don't want to be involved with gambling.

Don't you think doing it as a business is quite different from using the services to bet? If I were in your shoes, if the business opportunity looks promising, I'll take it up and make money from it.

I don't play the lottery, I only get scratchers whenever it's the Holidays since my work gives them out for free. I also tend to get them as stocking stuffers, my parents would play the lottery quite often when I was growing up. My dad has won a few times, but my Uncle has won the most in our family. He actually won not only $50,000 but $1 million as well but took the lump sum and got over $400,000 from scratchers! This was a few years ago.

There's a luck to such in your family for them to be winning this amount of money. If I were part of your family, I would be tempted to give it a try of my own and see what I can win.

I actually considered it from that angle but I know that as long as I am actively involved in the business, there is no way I am not going to develop interest in taking part in those gambling which I don't want to.

Betting isn't a bad thing in my own perspective. I can only see it in a bad way when one started to take money or property that's not his/her and started selling them in order to get money for betting.

When it becomes an addiction, you won't know when you start crossing those boundaries. This will land the person into serious debts.

Most youths in my country are perpetual gamblers. They don't have jobs but they are always in the betting shops playing all manner of bets. There's one they call baby (Virtual bet) and dog race, this suck and milk them dry every day but they keep coming back.

One thing that is peculiar with betting is that greed is evident. Most of the people who bet are always greedy and that greed will bring to them selling their properties to bet.

Yes, this is why it's better to avoid falling into the clutches of gambling because once you enter it, coming out from it will be almost impossible until it ruins you.

This is how I deal with being involved with gambling. I can't have anything to do with it even though I know some people get lucky with it. I don't leave my making money to luck.

What you said is the truth. I don't like the way youths of nowadays are too greedy in terms of betting. They can go extra miles in order to get money for betting.
