It's called 'chasing' and some players want their money back so bad they'll spend hundreds to recover very small amounts.

Those who want their money back that bad have no business playing at all.

Maybe it's actually a CYA tactic by the lottery and the state so no one can win, blow it all, and blame them.

There's an article in NEWS about a woman in England who won a jackpot, blew most of it, and blamed the lottery for letting someone that young win so much.

Change, I've had enough change to last a lifetime. Things must be good in Florida

if putting labels on lottery tickets is front and center.

Anyone who does not know gambling is addictive has never gambled. True it's worse for some

The lottery can offer really big payouts and where else can we buy a chance to win a billion

dollars for a couple bucks? sounds good.

Here the country and its people are worried about healthcare and tax cuts and program cuts and this dimwit of a politician thinks wasting time for dumb thing like warning sign on lottery tickets is what people voted her in to office. This is where your tax dollars are going people.

Florida lottery tickets could soon carry a big warning label if a Republican legislator gets her way.

A House panel on Tuesday voted for a bill that would require all lottery tickets to say Warning: Gambling can be addictive.

Rep. Jennifer Sullivan, a Mount Dora Republican who is sponsoring the bill, said lottery tickets are a government-sanctioned activity and should come with the same kind of warnings found on cigarettes.
