How many thousands of dollars have you lost chasing lottery winsReply
I'm wild for espresso. I don't even drink regular coffee, so that's my... um... addiction. Should've bought stock in it years ago. I just need a bigger lottery win to keep my Starbucks card filled! But you know, it is hard to get through life without a little sin, a little devil to pull at your pocketbook. I don't smoke, drink heavily or gamble the rent away at casinos, so I have to cut myself some slack. Ah, addiction justification, yeah.... haha

My thoughts on the lotteryReply
When my original post was made was trying to be positive and just give my thoughts on the lottery. I have fully admitted many times that I was addicted to the lottery for 3 years but no longer have that problem. Have changed my thinking and realized the desperation I felt for those 3 years was not healthy and needed to change my mindset. No longer have that mindset and even when I was addicted to the lottery for that time period always made sure my bills were paid first. Have always been a fisca

P3 Redzone For Ny Tri Ga Pa Oh Fl Nj Il VaReply
If you know anyone who is having problems, please try to get them some help. Once you are in the freezer there is no turning back and if you don't have Christ, I feel real badly for them. Life is beautiful here and we need to cherish it while we are here. Try to make them understand... that with Christ... ADDICTION can be beat. Any ADDICTION!

This song is about addiction. Something most of us will struggle with at some point in life. About addiction and nothing more. I am running late and I have not checked anything yet.

Powerball winner dies penniless, 12 years after winning $27 millionReply
My guess is taxes and drugs. He could have lost most of the stuff to the government due to having a lot to pay to taxes and no money to pay to the government due to both overspending on items (vehicles and art mostly) and addiction to drugs. Other items he could have sold in order to fuel his drug habit or to simply survive. In the article it also mentions he owed thousands to friends/family. It's that hard to believe someone with drug addiction and a wild spending habit could lose millions.

Addicted to lottery?Reply
Some guys love to hang around the store and go through the trash barrel looking for scratch tickets that might be winners that were tossed by mistake. To me that is addiction. They're all soaked with tobaccy juice around here. That'll kill anybody's addiction.

Playing The Lottery More Often For More Lines= Spending More Money= Gambling Addiction.
A LOTTERY STOP LOSS LIMIT IS VERY IMPORTANT. I WILL PLAY THE LOTTERY SOMEDAY. I WILL BUY A LOTTERY TICKET SOMEDAY. I WILL WIN A LOTTERY JACKPOT SOMEDAY.

Money and HappinessReply
I still play lottery every week, almost every day, but with the years, more the time goes by, more I don't expect to win. Playing for me, it's more a habit than expecting TO WIN SOMETHING. it's more like a cigarettes addiction than drugs addiction if one can compare. I don't like the Casino and scratch off tickets, I never play them. I really hate casinos. it's not about happiness, it's if I win, I win, if I don't too bad , but it won't change anything. 3 times in my life I missed the Jackpot of

Do you ever feel like you're wasting money when playing the lottery?Reply
I agree, the odds are stacked against winning, but people DO win the lottery. There was a discussion about this subject one night on a San Francisco radio station call-in show. A lottery player on the east coast won a huge jackpot after using his last dollar to buy a single ticket. The discussion centered around the prudence of buying lottery tickets when that money could be used for other purposes. The announcer (personally, I think he just wanted to stir up controversy. 'Slow news day...) deri

Why do we play?Reply
For some people that first win is the thing that keeps them going back for more then it sometimes develops into an addiction the highs and lows of winning and loosing. To fuel that addiction people play more numbers. Gamblers will say people will spend twice as much as they won trying to win again. Say you put 200.00 in the bank is it going to give you that much interest. no, but a dollar can net you sums of money no other investment will do. In order for a person to make money
