Do you buy lottery tickets? Why or why not?

Asked by MissAusten (16157points) October 6th, 2009

It seems like every time I go to the gas station, I get stuck at the counter behind someone buying lottery tickets. They are usually older (beyond middle age). It got me wondering who buys lottery tickets, and why.

I usually only buy a few at Christmas to put into my husband’s stocking.

Do you buy them? How often? Have you ever won, and did it make up for the money spent on the lottery tickets?
