I don't usually - mostly because I work too hard for my money (so hard for it honey) and I can't afford to lose it. But damn... that Mega Millions jackpot is gonna make me get off my wallet and buy a ticket!

How about you?

Once in awhile an office pool would start up for these big pots and I'd sometimes jump in. But if it goes for too long, I drop again.

Like you, I don't have money to give away.

I've been to Las Vegas twice, both times for a work-related conference.

Fist time I brought $100 to gamble with.
Never got the chance / urge / desire to gamble so I came back home with that same $100
Winner! Winner!!

2nd time I again brought $100 again.
That time I did go out and play some black jack.
Several hours, free drinks, winning, losing, fun company with friends and strangers.
At one point I was almost out, then I hit big - got all my money back and then some.
I played a little longer until I was back down to $100 and left!
Winner Winner!!

I've been four times, most recently a month ago. Like you, I set a small budget and once it's gone, it's gone. It's meant as entertainment rather than any hopes of hitting a jackpot. In fact, this last trip I gambled a whopping $20

I buy lottery tickets when the winnings get very high, otherwise I don't gamble.

My version of gambling would be to bet that I could out drink someone... I would either win, or we'd both lose.

life is a gamble; a series of probability estimates. Eventually, we all lose.

Unless you view death as a victory over life, in which case we all win.

Of course the "game" is rigged either way.

you live in midwest, you play powerball and mega ball. you only small wins in midwest. larger wins of powerball and megaball lottery, you can't win the live in midwest. you look up at the larger wins of both lottery in the last 3 to 5 years, you can't win if you live in midwest. that more fact than luck.

Or win, depending on your perspective.

The recent Mega Millions jackpot winner is from Michigan which is considered the midwest.

only in the upper usa, you find mega and powerball winners. most winners are on the east and west coast.

few years, i thought because of election, lottery was targeting key red and blue states. since election is over, lottery still use the method, in general.

lottery is pretty rig, not surprise, if i am right.
