There are three basic types of people who play the lottery:
Those who do, thinking they will win.
Those who do, knowing they will probably not win.
Those who don’t, knowing they will never win.
Who are you?

“Those that don’t play” is me! But, I enjoyed when my mom would buy us kids scratch off tickets–the hope in winning was exciting. We won an occasional $1 to $10 dollars, but all the times lost has made me one to keep my money in my pocket or put it to use with less odds against me! Maybe I should play for fun once in awhile, even though it goes against my very nature. 🙂
I think we’re similar! I also don’t play but I like to buy them for other people and don’t really discourage it unless it’s a problem. My mom actually won some change on a birthday lottery ticket. =)
I’m the third type myself. 🙂
But I have a grammar note for you: people are “who’s” and not “that’s.” Most of those who win the lottery are broke within two years.
I’ve heard that about lottery winners — having so much more than you’re used to suddenly makes it hard to manage. And thanks for the grammar note — that’s something I do very often, use “that” instead of “who.”
I’m waiting for someone I know to win and just hoping they’ll remember me.
That’s a nice thought, but I don’t know if that happens to individuals, unfortunately. Good thing some winners give to charities though.
That’s usually the case, but a nice dream though 🙂
The lottery is a special tax on those who are especially bad at statistics!
Should have studied harder in math? =)
The third…
*nods* =)
I don’t–have no money to throw away.
Wise actions! Lottery tickets are easy to say no to, but I’ve had to say no to other things when I didn’t have the money to spend too.
Well, don’t we all. I could go on a rant about people who spend their welfare checks in the lottery line….and then use the Food Bank to get by. I know I’m not supposed to judge, but it makes me mad nonetheless.
I’m the third – but it’s mainly from my upbringing in a church that considered gambling a sin because we should be relying on God for our needs. But now it’s because there are too many losers
I’ve gambled once in my life and I can see the brief appeal of it, but yes, ultimately, it’s wasting money. Definitely agreed!
Very clever, this one, Red! I am the third. =)
Thanks!
Sadly I’ve been all of these at one time or another. Now I just play on occasion just for the fun of it and if something good happens then it was destined to be.
I don’t think that’s sad. As long as you treat is as a treat, it’s a good way to go about it.
Good work. I think I might be a little of all of them.
You’re well-rounded then! =)
