Feel the same way about Starbucks! What a waste of money, yet people will think nothing about dropping $5 bucks for a cup of coffee!

The same people then turn around and bitch because a gallon of gas is $3.50 a gallon!

My fiance and I get a scratch ticket every now and then. Usually we make our dollar or two back. On a couple occasions, we've won the $10 or $20 prize. I had a friend win $1000 from a $2.00 scratch ticket once.

I view it the exact same way. Throw some money in the trash or buy a lotto ticket... don't see a difference between the two

The Lottery donates tons of money to all kinds of parks and youth education across Colorado.

I'm not saying your odds are good but your money isn't going in the trash..

When you can get a bag of coffee for less than $5 and brew something tasty yourself? People aren't that smart these days....

Never have understood the whole Starbucks thing ?????

I play once in a while. I figure my odds are better of winning if I actually buy a ticket. I do put an extra dollar in my savings account for every ticket I buy. I won a grand on Millionaire Raffle ($20) on New Year's Day, so I figure I'm still WAY ahead for the year.

Some of it is good, but it's really just over priced fancy shit. Like Dennis Leary says "Can I get some fucking coffee flavored coffee please? And what ever happened to large!? What is this venti, tall, grande shit!?"

The lottery is a tax on people who are bad at math.

I think it's egregious for the government to issue itself a sole monopoly on gambling.

The people who play are the people who can't afford it.

In Indiana, your license plate renewal statement would always show how much your bill was offset by lottery income, usually around $75 a year in "savings". I told people that I won $75 in the lottery without spending any more at all.

I've never bought one but when I do I am sure I will win

Coffee isn't $5.00, it's about 1.50-1.80. The mocalattefrappemexicanochmoca grandes are 5 dollars. I like the coffee, but it bugs me they won't say small. I always try to make them say small, only about 1 in 20 does.

The lottery does pay a lot of good thing to the state, and if a small group of people want to pay it good, less taxes for me. Some how I feel just as dumb for spending money on lead to put in the side of a hill, although the fun factor is higher for lead.
