Do you play the Lotto?

[SAguy]

Ja, especially after that 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 incident.

incident? That's just a normal draw, exceptionally small odds but not impossible.

Lotto and gambling, a tax on stupidity

Only when the jackpot is in the hundreds of millions. I wouldn't be happy winning a measly R20 million.

Even winning a million would make me very happy.

 

[Pineapple Smurf]

I would be over the moon with 2nd prize of around R170k
I dont need millions

I stopped playing after I realized that winning would tear my family apart. Everyone expecting a G-wagon.

So now I’m getting rich the old-fashioned way: by cheating and scamming others.

 

[wbot]

Rarely. Most i've ever won was about R1700

When I remember

I click on View and Replay numbers

60 bux goes off for Lott Plus 2 or whatever its called

That means you have spent far more than what you have won. I would rather light my cigars with R50 notes than waste it on the Lotto.

I used to burn eBucks on lotto. Get R1000 in eBucks. See lotto jackpot at R25M. Buy R100 tickets. Next week it rolls over and I buy another R100. Eventually burn R1k and have nothing. Luckily I didn’t ever part with much real money for tickets.

I'm seeing a trend in this thread that some of you guys only play when it's a big amount, so if we apply to this to the average citizen, then it means your chances to win this big amount is way lower than a chance at winning every week.
