I play my lottery money on lottery. I do not play my food money on lottery. If you are going to be without food because you spent it on lottery. That should be a sign to you. You should wait to play the lottery when you have your lottery money and not play your food money on lottery.-weshar75

Get yourself a $2.00 box of rice, and play the rest....That will get you to your next week's problem.....but then I take it that you have some food stored and the $6 is just how much cash you have till the start of the month......Play it all then click on the TV and wait till next week

winner06,
If you only have 6 buck$ to your name until further notice next week or so then you need to start looking for a better job. Save your money for food because looking for a job will make you hungry, I know because I been there.

cheer up winner06 it has happen to all of us your luck will come i know how you feel but if you do play put .50 box on two numbers and pray god hears your pray. but before doing that get some help from others who have been playing for a while to help you. it's not often i hit in my state but in other state . i'm mostly one number off but talk about luck i played 8337 for two days the very next day the number came out and i didn't play i wish you luck

I have done that actually. It was a couple years ago. I had about 20 dollars to my name. I had to make a choice so I went online to an online casino, which I won't mention name here. I had the luckiest night In my whole life. I won 1200 right off the bat. Not only that I hit again for 600 same night. Its like my prayers were answered that night. Not big money, but it was big to me cuz I had none.I'm not saying you should make the same choice, buts its interesting how thing turn out sometimes. These days I can't hit a pick 4 to save my life, but I'm going to wait for my next lucky day and I'm sure it will be great. Good Luck.

Never play with 'scared money'.
This is from GA:
Gamblers Anonymous offers the following questions to anyone who may have a gambling problem. These questions are provided to help the individual decide if he or she is a compulsive gambler and wants to stop gambling.

TWENTY QUESTIONS
1. Did you ever lose time from work or school due to gambling?
2. Has gambling ever made your home life unhappy?
3. Did gambling affect your reputation?
4. Have you ever felt remorse after gambling?
5. Did you ever gamble to get money with which to pay debts or otherwise solve financial difficulties?
6. Did gambling cause a decrease in your ambition or efficiency?
7. After losing did you feel you must return as soon as possible and win back your losses?
8. After a win did you have a strong urge to return and win more?
9. Did you often gamble until your last dollar was gone?
10. Did you ever borrow to finance your gambling?
11. Have you ever sold anything to finance gambling?
12. Were you reluctant to use "gambling money" for normal expenditures?
13. Did gambling make you careless of the welfare of yourself or your family?
14. Did you ever gamble longer than you had planned?
15. Have you ever gambled to escape worry or trouble?
16. Have you ever committed, or considered committing, an illegal act to finance gambling?
17. Did gambling cause you to have difficulty in sleeping?
18. Do arguments, disappointments or frustrations create within you an urge to gamble?
19. Did you ever have an urge to celebrate any good fortune by a few hours of gambling?
20. Have you ever considered self destruction or suicide as a result of your gambling?
Most compulsive gamblers will answer yes to at least seven of these questions.

I can't believe someone is actually asking this question.
To the starter of this thread : never play the lottery again. It's clear you lack the responsibility needed to wager with prudence. I hate being critical, but it's for your own good.

Sorry Guys that came out all wrong....i was thinking for the moment not long term....I would never f....... around with my home, or bills to play lotto ......if i don't have THEN DAMN IT I DON'T HAVE... and most of the time i lose then buy a scratch off maybe one maybe 2 or 3 what ever and that is only when petty cash is available but what i said earlier sound bad pretty bad. i don't want any one here at the lp having that ridiculous image of me like that.....I WON'T F.....AROUND WITH MY FAMILIES FOOD AND SHELTER EVER!!!!!AND THAT'S THAT GOT IT!!!! my saying this today was because i was in the mood for some egg/cheese....my husband owns a bagel shop and i really did not feel like going out side to get any but what i did want was for him to bring it to me so that i can go ahead a play my numbers for the day......until next week meaning UNTIL THE BILLS AND SHOPPING ARE DONE WITH...FOR SOME LOOSE CHANGE...GOT IT....not that i would sacrifice my earnings for LOTTO.

i love playing the lottery and i play every day BUT i had to vote with the majority on this one.if i only had that 6 bucks left i would have to eat.food tastes good and lottery tickets need a lot of seasoning to cover up the bad taste should you resort to eating your losing ticket.

I've been in situations where i only had a few bucks on me and no time to run to the bank machine to get money. I may have had enough money for a couple soda's maybe a few bucks more, instead of buying a soda/pop for you folks that don't know what soda is. And i would get a few numbers instead, in one instance i did that i won 7500 bucks when i played my tag number that day 50/50 and 1 dollar st. And it came out straight. i hope to have something like that happen again. It was my lucky day.

Big John says. You don't hit the number. The number hits you!!!!
