  If you play and you lose, the question is do you have money to throw away. Everyone believes something but that something becomes nothing.

  w/out risk, there is no reward.

  don't play w/ your mortgage $.

  Odds are if you play, you're going to lose and if you play a lot odds are you will only win back about 10% of what you spend so if you can't stand losing then you shouldn't play.  Lotteries can't pay millions of dollars on a $1 ticket without someone losing millions of dollars.

  The truth is someone got to pay for someone to win. I thought at one point of time, the more you play, you increase your chance of winning but it seems to be just the opposite, the more you pay, the more you lose. It probably depends on the game you're playing.

  spending 50k on lotteries is not going to guarantee 50k in lottery winnings

  you can't win if you don't play

  but if you do

  know your limit play within it
