Do you play the lottery?

I'm also a "very rarely" but I do know someone who won $5,000 once.
I think it becomes almost a superstition for some people. I have a neighbor who has bought a $1 Lotto ticket for years and years and plays the same numbers every week. He's never won, but he's afraid that the first week he stops playing, those numbers will come up! So I guess he looks at it like a $1 a week insurance policy. :-\

I can understand your neighbour :laugh:.
I won twice in my life: one time it was 18€ in the lottery (yes, back then when I played for Alberta! :laugh:). The other, biggest win I ever had, was a, wait for it, a bacon!
The bacon was not from the lottery, but from a tombola for charity purposes. It was huge, if memory serves it was about 5 kilo (ten pounds). We ended up dividing it into several portions and giving them to our friends and family.

I must admit to buy a ticket every now and then......but I KNOW there is a possibility to win....small but it's there!! ;D
My mum won a car, a small one - Nissan Micra - in 1994. Since she never has got a driving licence she gave it away to her onlychild....that's me :laugh: After 300 000 kilometers it gave up....but we spent almost nothing on that car, it just worked and worked and worked.....
So I play now and then....and mom, she tries to get us a new car...... :laugh:....no luck yet!!
