Why do people waste time & money playing numbers/scratch-off tickets?

[fckyoupayme]

Yeah, but once you realized you've wasted money playing to lose doesn't it bother you? I mean $30 on numbers/scratch-offs is a little overboard...it would bother me hours later knowing I wasted money.

Sure. My vice is alcohol. I have a great time sipping wine while making dinner and throwing back bottomless mimosas at brunch. Then I realize I spent $100 and added pounds to my waist line. I feel guilty and bad about myself but quickly forget when I get the invite to go out. It feels good to be tipsy. I think people buying scratch offs go through a similar line of thinking. I don’t know what your vice is but I know you have one. You probably think the same way. It’s human.

 

[Vandelay]

Nearsightedness.

 

[Hey_zeus]

Can't win if you don't play. Somebody got to get this paper.

My dad play everyday

but he’s retired and got money

he usually wins every other day rather 41 dollars or 300

The homie was locked into that shyt for like all of December.




The cold part is we live in Vegas, so he had to drive to the state line to buy tickets




He was addicted to the daydreaming







He said he stopped but I don’t believe him.








I like putting a couple bucks on sports parlays, those I actually hit a few times a month and it makes it more entertaining.

Friend on mine won $1K off a $20 joint.

That ain't shyt

 

[lamont614]

I wasn’t going to play now I’m going to play today





Maybe this a sign

 

[Amerikan Melanin]

I play maybe once a month. Spend about 100$.

I usually break even. I buy the $10 and up scratches.

I want that win for life so bad brehs!!!

 

[Heafcliffe]

Don't condone overboard amounts paid bu bu but a breh does play ONE ticket when the pot gets big tho.

...purchased in Maryland so I can remain anonymous.

when I was 16 my parents bought a christmas package with several scratch tickets in it.

A breh won 250$

had me acting reckless for a min

I play midday lottery. I gives me something to look forward during the workday.

I've won a few times since the summer.

Pick up a quick $250 on my lunch break. Can't beat that.
