I have usually $100 to $200 a month to spend on lotto, fast food and junk I want to buy.  Today my mother told me that I was basically a degenerate gambler because I like to play the lotto with my expendable cash.  I told her then why do you split my winnings when I win.  How come I can not keep my winnings for myself and reinvest it into lotto games.  She got real quiet and said told me you are never going to win.  I told her stop take my winnings from me then and the rest of the family when I win.  I do not win very often but when I do I give money to mom and my sister's kids.  They always tell me to stop with the lotto and it gets under my skin so from here on out no more money for them.  I will keep my lotto wins to myself and not share at all.-weshar75
