Reply #34: I normally spend a buck a day on the Cash 5. [View All]

Pick all five numbers, win at least 100K, lots of times more because it rolls over till someone wins.

This is the only one I usually play, because I can afford it, the odds of actually winning something are better, and 100K would suit me fine. I wouldn't be stinking rich, but I could pay off some bills and have a decent nest egg, or a down payment on a nicer house. I'd still have to go to work, but this would just make things so much more comfortable, I think.

Anyway, I do find myself fantasizing more than usual about winning the lottery. When there are economic hard times, the lottery becomes more attractive, if still just as futile.

As an aside, I play the same numbers in the Cash 5, every day. The week between Christmas and New Years was very busy, and I didn't play my ticket. So naturally, four out of my five numbers hit. I would have won $300 if I had played, which would have almost recouped my lottery expenses for the year! Sigh.
