  How long can you go without playing a penny on any of the games. I think I can last a month. Game on??? Anyone up for it. Anytime you don't play post it here. Did not play today -- is all need to be said. If you break the agreement, you have to start over. I usually play the Mega Million but I will opt out for a month in playing any of the games. If I play, I will be honest and post that I played. That's it... will you last longer than me or 30 days?

  Since I live in a no lottery state, I can really go on forever and not play just because I'd have to travel to get to a state with lottery haha.

  The lottery is NOT a tax on the poor.  By calling it a tax, you are calling it mandatory, which is what taxes are.  But the lottery is NOT mandatory, therefore calling it a tax highly inaccurate.

  Similar to asking an alcoholic how long they can go without that next drink.

  Most of us blithering gamblers cannot last more than a few days at best. 

   

  Hey Max where you been hiding lately? Always good to see a Rhodie back in action.

  I agree. I also play anywhere from 5-10 lines on Pick 5 twice a week even though my program version for Pick 5 has only 8 filters and it is not finished. Still, can't resist.

  I'd rather ask for forgiveness instead of permission

  Have you tried the 12 step program along with getting a sponsor?
