Buy a lottery ticket

Okay… so I’m almost 24 years old and I’ve never bought a lottery ticket… I know, it’s supposed to be something that you do as a right of passage when you turn 18 but I never have.

This weekend, my boyfriend and I bought 2 Powerball tickets and didn’t win anything. But like they say, “you can’t win if you don’t play.”

I don’t really condone gambling, especially because I work hard for my money and it seems so silly to lose it all in a second, but the lottery doesn’t feel as “dangerous.” Since we’re in such tough times, I could really use the money and I really know that lottery money can help a family immensely.

Today is my 18th birthday so I decided to buy a ticket. I went to lunch with five people, and every body contributed a number. If I win, I’m going to split it with everyone that gave a winning number. I plan on doing this again, even if I don’t win

they’re fun even if you dont win..

I bought a scratch card.. and lost :(

I didn’t win, but it was fun.

I’ve never been a big lottery person. Every once in a blue moon I’ll pick up a scratch & win or get a ticket if the jackpot is a stupidly large, but I don’t make it a habit.

Markus isn’t a lottofiend by any stretch, but it’s a bit of a guilty pleasure with him. The Millionaire Lottery rolled around this year and he wanted to get a ticket, so we talked about it and decided that if there aren’t any other tickets bought for the next several months, one of those is pretty much the same… and the money goes for a good cause (the hospital foundation) too. Plus, I wouldn’t turn up my nose at a new house.

We got a ticket in time for the early bird & xmas cash draws. Woot! (Hey… you never know…)

I guess iv’e got to say worth doing because i keep buying them each week.

I haven’t done anything else that would require me proving I’m 18, so I bought a couple scratch cards today. They didn’t card me, and I didn’t win, but I can still say that I bought one.

220 million – mega million- didn’t win, but it was fun…

Tomorrow they’ll call the little numbers and I’ll become a millionare.
Though, the actuall purchase of th ticket was more involved than I thought that it would be.
