Do you buy lottery tickets?

Newzooozooo · Sep 19, 2025

For about 15 years, I bought 2-3 lottery tickets every week. The draw for these tickets always took place on Sunday mornings. On average, each ticket cost $1. So I spent at least $2 every week. There are approximately 53 weeks in a year, so I spent at least $106 per year. 106 x 15 = 1,590. I diligently recorded all my winnings during this time and can say that I won $792. So, my question is, do you buy lottery tickets, and if so, for how long, and what are your winnings, if any?

I don't buy lottery tickets. I don't bet on anything that depends on luck. I know that in the long run I will lose.

Of course, I've been submitting multiple coupons every week for about 14 years now. I wouldn't call myself an addict, I just give my luck a chance every week. I haven't counted how much money was spent on it yet, but I have a guess about how much money was spent that way. I don't really care, I'll give it a chance and that's it. What is certain is that the amount of my winnings is negligible compared to the amounts invested. I'm guessing 10-20%, no more.

I don't buy lottery tickets because the odds are simply too high.
Tho my father-in-law once won a car in a raffle draw.
You just don't know when the stars will align & win the chance of a lifetime.

No, I do not.. 😂😂 but I know many people who buy every day

Oh yeah, I had that "passion" too.

And I can say you have a good return.
I'm even afraid to calculate how much I've spent over the years, and if it's returned in winnings, it's about 10%.

No, I don't buy it. Usually I find the best use of my money.

Lottery tickets ? No , I don't but . I don't believe in the honesty of the people organizing these lottery events , even if it's the state itself . I think it's a loss of money . You wait for the miracle win . A waste of money , time and hope

I buy few years ago, but since I didnt playing anymore.
Won sometimes, but more I lost, and I think tickets its not good you're just waste your money.

Lottery tickets are usually among the worst odds you can get, but it is fun to imagine winning the big one.

Около 15 лет я покупал 2–3 лотерейных билета каждую неделю. Розыгрыш этих билетов всегда проводился по воскресеньям утром. В среднем каждый билет стоил 1 доллар. Таким образом, я тратил как минимум 2 доллара каждую неделю. В году примерно 53 недели, поэтому я тратил как минимум 106 долларов в год. 106 x 15 = 1590. Я старательно записывал все свои выигрыши за это время и могу сказать, что выиграл 792 доллара. Итак, мой вопрос: покупаете ли вы лотерейные билеты, и если да, то как долго, и каковы ваши выигрыши, если таковые имеются?

Once in my life I bought a lottery card in a store for 20 hryvnia and luck turned to me, I won 5,000 hryvnia

No I don't buy lottery tickets I have never bought one single one but I should actually start why not you can win very big in these...

No, not in the last 25 years at least.

When I had a "normal" job, I was so bored that I played on everything in my free time, including the lottery.

najisami · Sep 19, 2025

I think everyone did at least a couple times in their lives.
Years ago, I used to buy 2 tickets a week with the same exact numbers for a while, probably 3 years. Never hit even 5 numbers. I hit 4 many times and 3 loads of times, but the winnings were insignificant. Now I don't anymore.

I sometimes buy lottery tickets when the accumulation is really high, but not regularly.

Tero · Sep 20, 2025

I used to do this in my youth but then I stopped completely for years. These days I spend a Euro but no more than that when ever I feel the need for that extra excitement (which is not often). But one in a fifteen million chance to win the jackpot is not that great.

BrunoFabri01 · Sep 20, 2025

I used to do this quite often, but lately where I live the ticket prices have increased a lot, so I've cut back.

GarotoMaroto · Sep 20, 2025

No
I played cassino games, spent less than 20$ and won more than 22$ its enough I guess
Once I won a free spin, won 2$, played sattelite poker, won 11$ ticket, played 11$ tournament and won in 1st place 273$ thanks to God, Praise be the Lord Jesus.
God bless
