Well I have not got paid yet but I will on tuesday for the month and to start out on lottery.  I want to save money so I may just go cheap and buy $1 tickets with kicker,powerplay and megaplier on them this year and save the rest.  I have noticed that I spend a lot on tickets when I get a $10 ticket for mega millions and $10 ticket for megabucks and a $10 ticket soon to be $15 for powerball.  So I am running like a $400 tab for lottery every month just to stay in the games that I like to play.  That is a fourth of my income in a given year.  So if I can just be happy playing the $1 tickets with multipliers on them then I should try it.  Maybe start a saving account with the rest of the money and see how much is it at the end of the year.  Time will tell if I can do this or if I go back to play the $10 tickets.  Thanks for reading!-weshar75
