To give pleasure to a single heart by a single act is better than a thousand heads bowing in prayer." Mahatma Gandhi

In a world where you can be anything - be kind. Unknown
I say the some thing as your boss. I work too hard for my money to waste it on a ticket. For all the lottery tickets that are bought, how much money is wasted? Lotteries administration make the huge salaries; a few people win prizes - just enough to keep people enticed to keep throwing money away.
I was at a local store to pick up some items held at the customer service. A woman with a worn out winter coat and shabby toque and purse was buying lottery tickets - $25 worth. Does she do this every week? She had brought her older tickets in for verification and won just a few dollars. 25x52+$1300/yr possibly being spent? Lotteries are a lousy form of addiction that seems to target the most vulnerable. Keep the price low to attract those with limited means and handing out minimal amounts in winnings. So many tickets are sold. Sometimes the lineup to buy lottery tickets is quite long and aggravating when you are waiting to make a purchase.
I confess that I bought one ticket with a group once to help complete the required number for that group but declined to ever repeat. I work too hard to waste my money.

Quit my job, and adopt a bunch of elderly dogs. And hire someone to look after them when I'm travelling.
