  I always wonder why people play lottery all their lives then probably finally hitting big later on in life. Is it that we humans know we arent supposed to work like slaves in this messed up capitalistic society ? Is this gambling ? Or is it having faith in God, chance ? I want to know why you play.

  "Or is it having faith in God, chance ?"

  It's having faith in YAHWAH & his MATH that will expose a corrupt system of modern-day Pharaoh, & free his people of economic, mental bondage..as YAHUSHUA said " Seek ye the Truth, for it shall set you free"

  ...MATH... The final Stochastic frontier...

  These are the Lottery Voyages of Stat$talker..!!

  The ongoing Mission,..to seek out the Laws of "Probability Math"...

  ...To boldly go,... Where NO Player has gone before...!!

  I enjoy playing. I never expect to win, just look at the odds of any jackpot game. I always hope to win. It's fun to dream a little. In the 1980's I won about $800 on Ohio's Lotto, 5 out 6 numbers. And I've won a few hundred playing All or Nothing here in Texas.

  I'm now in my 60's and I hope to win just to pass on money to my kids and grandkids.

  JUST LOOK AT THE ODDS OF ANY JACKPOT GAME, THAT WILL TELL YOU EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW

  I play the lottery because I'd like to be debt free.

  I'm not drowning in debt.  I'm retired, living in Florida, and I play Florida Fantsy5.  Jackpots range from $175,000 to $210,000 before taxes and the odds of winning a jackpot are 376,992 to 1. I have more than enough resources in both my wife's and my 401k to be debt free, but we'd rather leave that money to our adult children. My wife and I live on two monthly pension checks and two Social Security checks.

  If I hit a Fantsy5 jackpot, I'd be able to pay off all of my revolving and installment debts, and there'd still be money leftover.  I have a mortgage, and the usual debts most people have.  If all of those were paid off, I'd have about an extra $3000 per month of discretionary income ("fun money") over and above my monthly fixed expenses for utilities, car insurance, homeowners association dues, property taxes, Medicare supplemental insurance premiums, pest control  etc. 

  I too have no expectation of winning, but I do hope to win.  I enjoy the challenge of studying the numbers and see how well I did.  For me playing the lottery is more of a hobby than anything else.  G5

  Play Smart! That's IF there is such a thing as playing smartly!!

  Possibilities & probabilities...No superstitious nonsense involved.

  Someone is going to win.

  It's possible it might be you

  It's probable it won't be you.

  It's therefore probable that it will be someone else.

  Meanwhile it's just a couple of bucks & if you don't win, you've made someone else's life infinitely better.
