Do you buy lottery tickets?

[JDgreen]

And while on the subject of gambling, get this:

About 5 years ago we took a week long cruise on a Carnival ship, and of course they have casinos on board. You could even gamble from the comfort of your room, playing blackjack, etc. using the remote control on your tv set. Your wagers and wins/losses were tied to the credit card you used for services on board.

Now, tell me, if you were stupid enough to do that, how do you know the people who set up the tv gambling system DID NOT rig the odds heavily in favor of the house? In the casino, playing blackjack, you could at least watch the dealer as he dealt the cards. Probably there are people who are stupid enough to think any gambling is on the level.....:laughing::laughing::thumbdown:

You stole my thunder Two-Stroke. That's exactly what came to mind when I read the OP.

LandN, I completely agree. There needs to be a special line for the lottery ticket purchasers. I hate standing there holding a case of cokes or beer while some nitwit in front decides he/she wants 15 lottery tickets, but can't decide which ones or how many of each. I've gotten to where I rudely bump into them while saying excuse me in an exasperated tone, and set my things down heavily next to them on the counter in an effort to make them realize they're holding people up. Doesn't do any good, but it makes me feel better.

Sorry bud,but i think spending mony on that crap is just as stupid.

Not pulling any punches eh Bison...?
What is a VLT?
I will buy 2-3 a year and it's worth the few minutes of fantasy time thinking about the possibilties....for a buck.
The money goes to the school system so it's a donation as well.

If the shoe fits....:tongue:

A VLT is just another one armed bandit.

I pay property tax to that effect,its non tax deductable:confused2:
