I see here in our state NCEL is really putting out there the campaign with problem gambling (in stores on the website and such) I for one am glad .I've said this many times over I've talked to countless people that have spent a lot of money every draw to win (something) gambling is an addiction it can suck you in and make you spend your last dollar. Just b/c I post here and talk about playing numbers does not mean that I spend a lot of money every draw (been there done that got myself in a mess over it and crawled out of the hole) . You can't win everyday and you can't spend your last dollar trying to win either its just a game some of us have the tendency to become that addict (myself included from time to time) but I also see the signs that I need to either stop or slow way down as well ......I've have said it countless times here and in public you play what you can afford and if that's $2 a game then big deal you invested $2 instead of the $20 that some people play a draw . Have a problem confide in someone I've often chatted with players that have problems and I mean big problems they have or will lose valuable assets over gambling . If you believe in the old adage what's meant to be will be then its the same with this you can buy a hundred scratch cards , play $100 a day in numbers and if your going to win you will win ...why b/c its meant to be. Pay your bills first and then play but don't play with your bill money its just that simple. No one here can give you the one number  to make your life straight again if we could we would all be millionaires and playing would be not exsist b/c they could not make the payouts . Its a business always has been and always will be you will be fine playing that $2 a draw and you will also be fine if you decide to step away from it for awhile don't get yourself in a mess .The new bright eyed  player will be there to take your place and they know that .....you see them in the store and just smile to yourself .Okay end of babbling just think about what I said I know they read my blog so I just wanted them to know that it doesn't go unrecognized the huge effort made this month .........kudo's
