Its illegal until you are 18 in US, I'm only 16, so I get left out on the fun! In reality, if your chances of winning were ok, the state would not make any money, and the lottery is a big fund raiser for teh state.

Underage, but I still wouldn't do it.
There's a one-in-a-million chance that you'll win something worth your trouble, and by the time you get it you'll have spent that much on the lottery anyway.

Why would anybody want to take a chance on getting stoned to death?

I'm 16.

I put a 3 quid in a jar every week, then every month pick a number from 1-10 and if the number is 4 I take £10 out of the jar and go "YAY I won the lottery". I seem to win every month. :D

Does this count?

It's crazy. I see people blow, £10 or £20 of Lotto tickets and then buy scratchcards!!! The sad fact is that it's a tax on the poor by any other name.

Usually people in deprived areas spend more per household on Lotto tickets, and then get very happy when they get £500 from the national lottery grant fund for a local park.

If they all took the money they spent on lotto and just chipped in, then that park wouldn't have to wait years for funding. In a community of say 500 people, they could do it in a week!!!
