Do you buy state lottery tickets?

My state doesn't have the lotto, and I'm not going out of state to buy tickets.

I only get them whenever the jackpot goes over 75 mil, so it's not monthly but maybe 2-3 times a year.

Yes! I pay the stupid tax almost biannually 🙂

No, that's for dumb-dumbs. I do wish that Alabama had the state lottery though, because it would mean more tax revenue for the state, and yet my total tax bill doesn't go up at all. It's a win-win for me and other's with a basic sense of mathematics.

Nay here in VT the lottery only get to around 5 million tops. I occasionally do play powerball though.

Michigan returns $.10 on the dollar in prize money.

Even the worst in Vegas do better than that by close to a factor of 5.

Well, unfortunately you live in a state full of people who think the lottery is a sin against God and therefore they can't have it. :roll:

15 no, 3 yes. I guess the people on ATOT really *ARE* smart! (well, at least 83.333% of us)

Paying into a government monopoly is moronic.

 

[TitanDiddly]

No.

Don't bother paying the DMV to get your license plates renewed, then. I mean what's the point if there's no competition?

:roll:

Of course the state lottery is a monopoly...how would you propose a private lottery of that size? Can you imagine the corruption?

 

[Bassyhead]

nope

i do when it's better than an even bet
