but if ya dont play then ya dont have a hope. If ya dont play then your chanses are zero at least i have a chance. People know this and that is why they play, Everyone know that they are most lickly not gona win but they have a chance.

exactly, I saw this on someone's signature... can't remember whose...

"You never know unless you try"

good advice if you ask me

Yeah, but you know that you get to keep the money that you frivolously wasted. Forget the escapism, people. A decent job, controlled spending, and wise investments (not necessarily RRSP's) are the real way to make money.

Look at it this way: $1 a week to buy a ticket and you buy 1 ticket per week for 50 weeks outta the year. That's $50 bucks a year. Multiple that by however many years you buy. We're talking some seriously change here.

However, the day I get hit by lightning and live........I'll start buying Lotto tickets

"you'll never know unless you try"

And my retort

Trying is the first step towards failure.

we bought a lotto max this weekend aiming for the $50 million. Once the official numbers came in we started to gasp first number check, second, third, forth, fifth, sixth, and damit!!!!!!!!!!!!!! off by one number for the "one million prize". It may not be the 50 but 1 million would have still been pretty sweet.
