If you can't afford to do both, you shouldn't be buying lottery tickets. Just saying.

Exactly! Better one cup of coffee for sure, than a maybe winning ticket!

Espressos it is.

Quite sure James Gatzke would disagree. He was down to his last $3 and bought a lottery ticket.

If you feel that way, why did you even ask?

My answer wd have been for you to do what ever you want. Skipping a cup of coffee wont kill you nor will not buying a lottery ticket -- unless the numbers you would have chosen win -- now that might kill you.

Oh, I'm not in my player days right now. I am more looking into coding.

I had my wins in the past. Keno 2/2 3/3 4/4 ... 8/10, through quality picking. I had my 5/6 just didn't get that extra number in the same line. I had many tickets with several 4/6 on it. Recently I did wheels for 5/39 and had a good start with two 4/5 in the first three weeks this year. I just don't feel like playing anymore. I enjoy a cup of that black petrol without playing these days. I met many jackpot winners, but just didn't make it to rank 1 myself. That still may change, replacing coffee by tickets and sleeping at night.

How did it work out for all those other people who spent their last few bucks when they didn't know how they'd be paying for food or rent?

I saw that story about that 'cat' guy. He chose Ryne Sandberg's # as one of his #'s because he was his favorite baseball player, lol. Gotta love his thinking on picking them lol. I'm more of an instant coffee kind of guy. How does that song by one of the greatest bands ever go, " Don't touch no hard liquor, just a cold cup of coffee, and I'm good to go in the morning". Yeah that's kind of like my thinking. I don't really go a day without either, but if I had to pick I'd pick coffee for sure, lol.

There's also a good story about someone, I forget who was years ago, who wrote how he planned his savings for his retirement by saving all the money everyday he would've spent at Starbucks. Seriously.

Sometimes you do the right thing just because it’s right.

Life's a game of mathematics, if you can't figure that out I don't know what to tell you.

365 days * $ 2 to $ 4 * 40 years = a lot of money! Add interests on that!

My mother loves coffee and tea she likes to make one on a day and then the next day have the other. But she likes to put creamers in her coffee and tea. I like my cup to be black and I have it only once in awhile not every day like mom.-weshar75
