From scratch off’s to the Powerball, chances to win money are everywhere these days.  You always here the store of some old dude that won the latest $200+ million dollar Powerball.  What is he going to do with all that money?

No, I don’t get jealous of the winners, unless I also played that same lottery at the time he won.  But of course, you cannot expect to win every time you pay a little in the to the kitty.

You also hear stories about people that will only buy scratch off’s from certain stores and only when the numbers on the back are in a specific range.  Yea!  I have heard this story and apparently the person that goes by this “rule of thumb” wins bigger amounts on the tickets in that number range.  Nobody will ever know if there is anything to it or just a creepy superstition this person follows, that just happens to pay off.

Many crazy people will keep track of the numbers over time to check out for patterns or even take a quick look at an online number generator to pick numbers for them.  My question to you is: 

Do you play the lottery?  If so;

1. How often?
2. How much do you spend?
3. Do you play with a group or single?
4. Have you won any significant amounts?

You can leave your comments on this post.  Thanks!

As we all know by now, the Powerball was one by a group of cops in West Virginia.  But, I thought I would throw a question out there and see if there are people that would like to comment on where they buy their Powerball tickets.

I am in a pool at work, like most of us, but I know there are guys that still by their own tickets each week.  Do you have a ritual when you buy tickets?  Always the same amount, same gas station, same numbers?  Or do you just walk into just about any place and get whatever you feel like, or have the money for, at the time?

It’s good to see a group of people win it when it’s big (almost $300M).  I really get bummed when it’s a single winner!  But I guess the one good thing about that is you will most likely see them on the next edition of Lottery Losers or whatever because they cannot manage their money right.

So, where do you buy your Powerball tickets?
