I don't believe in spending my hard earned money on something that is so iffy.

We talk about playing all the time but never actually buy a ticket.

Just not interested, and it's a form of gambling that has no appeal for me.

No, I keep forgetting even when I think I want a ticket but never do. I just don't find it a fun thing to do.

My mother did in the 80s, then I did in the late 90s. But, they changed it making it harder to win even simple prizes like $20 so we stopped.

We think about it when the jackpots build up, and then don't, and then know we would've won if we'd only played!

If I wanted to throw money away, I'd just flush it down the toilet in the comfort of my own home, rather than drive someplace and buy a scratch-off.

The odds of winning are SO LOW, why bother? There are much more productive ways to try to make money.
