How does a lottery players mind work?

[ws23jrt]

I like to listen to Michal Berry on the radio.-- today he talked some about this.

If you just bought $5 worth of tickets and were offered $10 for them going out the door, would you sell them?-----100% gain--

-----One could go back in and spend the $10 to buy more chances.----

I'm a hold em sort, would not sell.--BTW I have not bought into any lottery for over ten years.

Did you see that lib smacking & gum chewing, liberal from Mass. on TV ?
No couth at all, maybe she can buy some now, with that $780+ Million

I guess it doesn't take any brain cells to win the lottery, obviously...

My close call with the lottery was maybe 12 years ago.
I bought $5 powerball (five picks at the time).
When I got home with my beer. -- I lost track of my lottery ticket. At that time the winning ticket was said to have been sold in my area and was more than a week over due for claim.
My ticket went up in smoke (I presume) lighting a fire in the wood stove.

I prayed for another person to come forward because if no one ever did I would know I was the one that lit a fire with mine.
I quit buying into the lottery when a winner came forward to set my mind at ease.

Never again---I worked for my life and am comfy without lotto stress.

I like that.--Her life has changed in a way that might be compared to a cancer diagnosis. One day life is peace and the next is the future is going to be a big mess of new stuff.
Is the affliction going to kill in a few months or years?

When I see a picture of a lottery winner I always try to blink or close my eyes.
It's never someone we want to see win. It's not a mirror.

Scared ****? How can the first word out of her mouth be scared? Maybe she will piss it all away and sue someone.

 

[GetX'd]

Maybe she will blow it all and her life in the process. Hope not. There's a long line of people that have won the lottery where it turned their lives to ****. I'd still like to give it the good ole college try....

Hell if I win I have it all planed out! Disappear firstly. Then buy a nice house and property in the country big garage start a dog rescue (not in my name) help the veterans out . And of course buy everyone I like a cool old mopar . Then lastly buy old junk cars and restore them when I'm done probably donate them to a charity and move on to the next one.... I live the hunt for the car then the build I like driving them but I get board quick I need to always have a project it keeps me busy.

Oh forgot to say pay my wife off to leave me alone .
I'm easy I just want a bottomless bank account to buy and fix cars .I'm poor as hell now and I still give money or things away to people that need it. It's the way I am I'll never be rich money is nothing but problems I like giving to needy people the littlest things make there lives so much better!

Hey Barney....What is wrong with the Wife? Did she change on you or was she always annoying to you?

I've noticed that most lottery players can only process one transaction at a time.

They ask for a specific ticket, and wait for the clerk to retrieve it.

Then they ask for another specific ticket, and again wait.

This can repeat several times and include other times, most notably one or more packs of $8 cigarettes, always one at a time and always waiting for the clerk to return to the counter before the next item is ordered.
