I never stress over losing money. I try to keep within a budget, but sometimes that falls by the wayside. LOL.

Really, Elizabeth, buy your tics, and don't stress over it. Play what you can afford to lose, and have fun with it. Sometimes I play QP's, sometimes I'll pick numbers at random, sometimes I use LP's RNG. With so many combinations in the jackpot games, it's plain luck. There's no lottery looking for the least played combos, heck with the odds we're up against, they don't need to do th... [ More ]

Maybe they should ask the same question to a group of homeless people who don't know when they'll eat their next meal.

I really do think so. I have student loan debt and right now hitting the lottery for 100,000 was be so nice. I mean I could start a whole new life. Money is suppose to be a currency but for some it food, water, clothes and shelter. I hate when people say money can't bring you happiness .....I all ways wondered, then what do I need it for? Because it sure can bring you sadness and pain. Just sayin

Yes, I have played my own numbers and quick picks for over 17 years and yes I stress over my numbers not coming out all the time. Part of the stress is me believing that the lotteries are not totally true random number picking. I also feel that the lottery looks for the least played number sets and it is stressful trying to create a least played number set.

I play the lottery every other day, I was curious do people ever play number's and not worry if they lose out on money ? Or do they stress over it like I have. I want to take a more laid back approach to buying ticket's..

Hoping to win here in Canada, so I can travel away from the cold.

Hi Shelby Mustang,

I agree with your post. Even in many marriages I'm sure that lack of money is a big issue. Having financial security was one of the reasons for my playing the lottery in the first place. There is something freeing about not being tied down to a job and being able to take control of your life and how you choose to live it without the constraints of worrying about paying the bills.

Money doesn't buy you happiness... but it sure helps!

I don't think there's anyone here who's claiming that financial security would make them completely happy. If they are, they're fooling themselves. However, no longer needing to worry about money ought to be good for something. Sure, I think financial security would make me happier than I am currently. I hereby volunteer to win a multi-million dollar jackpot and find out

We read everyday about the problems of the rich, I would just like to be comfortable, not owing anybody.

There is always someone out there worse off then we are..........

I was in that ok with money thing and then I came into some. The first thing I did was secure my kids future and then my own. Did it make me happier?

YES

Oh absolutely. I'm a pretty happy person already. Not having enough money is my only stressor. It bothers me that I'm not in a position to help loved ones with medical expenses or college tuition. It bothers me that my hours rarely allow me time to stop and smell the roses. Financial security will allow me to help out those that I love and will buy me the free time to either spend with them or spend doing the things I love. Those things will definitely increase my happiness factor.

Or so you think... I've seen those hard workers who make no excuses suddenly without a job and it ain't pretty. Absolutely everybody looks to money to make them happier, unless you are rich. It pays your bills, makes your life more comfortable, less worries, less suffering.

Artist77 — Mon, 03 Mar 2014 23:40:00 GMT

Or perhaps the people who don't look to money to make them happy are simply hard workers who make no excuses in life

If you dig deep most people's unhappiness and problems originate in the lack of money. My life would be much happier if I could get a hold of just a few hundred thousand Benjamins. Financial security will get rid of all my health problems too, OVERNIGHT. Guaranteed! Money is everything in life. Whoever tells you otherwise is a phylosopher with a steak on a barbeque and too much time on his hands.

Happier as far as never having concerns about finances again ?? Oh surrrrrrre.

Life is treating me well. The jackpot win would give me a newly appreciated challenging education.

About half my problems are problems that money can fix. Half aren't. So I figure I'd be about 50% happier.

as its been said a many times b4 here @ the LP :

if your happy b4 the big win you'll be more so and if your not b4 then you'll wind up more so

Do you think that financial security would make YOU happier?

Shelby Mustang — Mon, 03 Mar 2014 19:12:56 GMT

For me I think it would. I mean Im happy now but all my problems that I have now can be tied to lack of funds and or no time for certain things. Winning the lottery would definately make me a happier person, Im sure my blood pressure would go down and Id have way more me time. So do you think having financial security would make you happier? If no why not
