How does a lottery players mind work?

[Steve009]

I buy the lotto every week. $5 for the chance to never work again, ya I'll take that and buy one less beer. Plus even if I don't win that $5 still let me have wicked day dreams of all the mopars I'd buy!

Bought a 10 dollar scratch off today, don't really know why since I never play that ****. Sitting at the register at a gas station waiting to checkout for my drink I said **** it and told her give me the 10 dolllar ticket. Scratched it off when I got home and it's a 100 dollar winner, cool 100 towards my TTI 2" headers

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.

...and they are registered voters.

I used to do that once a week until my mortgage was paid off and I started collecting my pension and SS. Spending money is different now. I'm on the home stretch and see lottery as the silly tossing of money for what it really is.

That is pretty fun to do...Think about what you can do if you win: The places you'd visit, the stuff I would buy, the people that I would help out. It sure beats thinking about politics, Gay rights or sports.

Haven't bought a quick pick since 09....in my life i couldn't even count up all my fingers & toes the amount of times i've purchased tickets....just not in it. If i came into an unfathomable sum of dough, i would take up my soap box in a big way....trying to educate ******** to not litter. And some nice cars & airplanes, a self contained domicile in the sticks.
Take some of those nice cars to Nurburgring....one being a fully set up 68 Coronet of course.

It has never reached an amount I have felt comfortable retiring at. Her share after taxes, advisors and security from all the wackos that would want a hand out. Luky if she retains 200 thousand a year. Hardly enough to pay the taxes on all the new crap one would be tempted to buy.
I have gotten to know to many people that make close to that a year. It does not buy happiness.

200K a year would buy me all sorts of happiness.

200K a year would buy me all sorts of happiness.

200K would cover the three builds foremost on my list. 200K a year would cover the self contained home & shop i'd like.

I've heard it said that playing scratch tickets is a tax on the stupid.

 

[Bladecutter]

I know if i won big money i sure would NOT want to be identified by the lottery commission to national media & i sure as hell would not identify myself. Not a problem since i don't chase the lottery.

A more PC way(not that you'd ever want to!) is the lottery is a tax on the mathematically challenged.

 

[mopar 3 B]

It is a tax on the challenged period. Lots of challenged people out there. When it get over a billon I will take that plunge on 1 ticket.
