While I was standing in the Post Office today waiting to be served, to the side of me and at the magazine counter, there was a little old lady. She handed over г15 for her weekly lottery tickets!!

*First and before I go on I must point out that in posting this here I don't wish to knock those who like to have a flutter and those who buy lottery tickets.

For me personally I would rather see my money put towards and pay for a holiday. Also to pay for our two kids food while they are both at uni and the ever increasing heating bills at home.
May be if there is any left over then it will be put towards a new pair of boots for me at the end of the year

As for me and my OH winning the lottery we never will!
Neither of us intend to buy a lottery ticket.
So we will never have the 1 in 60 million chance to win millions and to be frank we don't care to have that sort of money.

I've said this before that I have worked for a millionaire and his family and they weren't any nicer for having the money. In fact they were very worried people becasue of their wealth and constantly thought their house might broken into. Life for them brought bigger and new worries in having all that wealth.

Back to the little old lady.
I really don't get the thought process behind gambling to this exstent.
I have a brother who played online poker and wasted the little money he has on it even putting back into playing it most of his one time winnings straight back !! He recently asked mum for a deposit on a new place to live as he hadn't enough money!! In this my brother's case I am both angry at him and as to why?

Back to the little old lady in the Post Office.
As I got to the front and was just about to be served by the same sales assistant I heard the old lady say to her that she comes in every week.
She likes to spend the same amount and has done for all the years the lottery has been going.
The biggest amount she has won was г20 yippee!!

All I can say is the thrill of doing the lottery and the joy of winning must be amazingly wonderful considering all the ггггs she must have paid out.
Of course we must not forget there is always a hope, and the faint chance, of winning millions!

I guess if the cash is spare and not needed for anything else who does it hurt?

What do you think about doing the lottery?

Am I the only one on here that hasn't ever brought and doesn't intend to ever buy a lottery ticket?
