  I was at a store earlier and the man standing behind me had lottery slip's in his hand.As well there were other people around.So i was uncomfortable with saying much to him!  He has been successful at winning. He told me he won up to $50,000 I believe . I was feeling angry and frustrated because I get very discouraged. As well I do not have the money like other lottery player's to spend money daily on the ticket's. As well I do take break's from the lottery. Do other people feel frustrated with lotteries?

  It is nerve racking when you have to wonder about the competition to win a decent money amount in the lottery.

  I do not play the lottery every day. As that would be too expensive. I buy ticket's a few day's a week. That is all. And I budget when I do this!

  If the lottery is making you worry and be miserable, why do you play? Sounds like there is an underlying gambling issue .  I cannot imagine  being uncomfortable over someone else buying a ticket or how much they spend. I have never thought of other players as competition.

   

  And that guy may not have even won a dime. Braggarts tend to be liars.

     DO NOT BE AFRAID.

  i prefer to think of other players as future losers helping build up the jackpot. beats getting irrationally mad at them for existing.

  Anyway, I was feeling stress earlier. But that is in the past. And I have moved on from that. Goodnight!

  Yes I get frustrated especially when I play a number and it comes out straight the next draw or day.  I would have asked the gentlemen what's his strategy and if he was willing to share.

  Yesterday is behind us, tomorrow is not promised, today we move forward in JESUS name.

  I wanted to ask the man his lottery strategy but did not want the other people at the store hearing my conversation. I get uncomfortable at store's.

  Your story keeps changing. I really sincerely wish you would speak to a gambling hotline. A lot of health plans have telehealth counseling as well. 

  Why would you care who overheard his strategy? I thought you said you did not have the $ to play daily like others.

  Frustration is a good sign to punish them by stopping play for awhile. I sometimes take that to the extreme of not playing for a year or more, but that is just me.

  Also, you only need 1 ticket to be in the game, I believe that having more than one ticket for the same game is betting against yourself... however when you truly play like this, it does get frustrating quick. I may even break this rule from time to time when trying out different strategies on a big game, only to regret it later, but that is the exception.

  I can guess this much, if the guy truly had a winning strategy, he would not share it with anyone.

  Have an EXCELlent day!

  A random person at the store may brag about a chance win, but they'll never tell you how much money they've wasted over the years on losing tickets before they got lucky. The majority of lottery players spend more than they ever win, over their lifetimes.
