Yeah this guy definitely has some problems, how can he manage to spend $30,000 a year on lotteries when the article says he makes $40,000 a year. I don't blame him for being mad about it, but he shpuld be mad at himself. I personally just spent $15 on lottery today and didn't win, but it was the first time in a couple weeks and to be honest I don't think I'll be playing for a little while after as it is.
Unfortunately, I've met quite a few people like this throughout my lifetime. There used to be this guy that would come into the Rite-Aid where I used to work, and he would spend over $100 on scratch tickets within an hour...he'd come in and buy one, scratch it off, lose, and come back in and buy another one until his money was all gone. Not to mention he rides a bicycle everywhere and doesn't appear very well-to-do, I really felt bad for the guy. There's another person i met more recently because I had been building his website, and I'd be sitting in his office while he's checking a stack of FL Lotto tickets, and he'll get upset because his numbers never win.
I'd enjoy to win the lottery some day, but it's pretty much a game of sheer luck. I usually buy no more than a few numbers about once a week (sometimes even less), because even though the odds of the game are very slim it comes down to this; you'll either win or lose. Don't see much of a point in doing it as a ritual, if I'm goin to win I'm going for the biggest prize, at whatever time seems right. That's why I'm thinking of maybe staying away from the lotto for a while and waiting till Powerball hits Florida in Jan '09. New year, and hopefully some newfound luck?
