i got some free lottery tickers for christmas and i didn't win anything and felt bad even though i never even paid for the tickets. so it feels bad and on the logical side of things the odds of winning are one in several million. i just don't see the appeal rationally or emotionally its not for me.

I would never play the lottery. Infact, I have only had 3 tickets in my life, given to me as gag birthday presents. Funny gestures, and if I won I was gonna buy them beer, but never did. Not even $10.

My family and my friends just simply invest anyways. We're all doing great, we're all accumulating. Actually I'm the only one with a conventional 'job' in my friend/family group, but even I invest at the same rate as them, mostly to show that it can be done by anyone disciplined enough.

IF I did win, and that would be impossible because it's obviously rigged, I would immediately gift most of it to my friends and family so we could spend the rest of our lives together doing whatever we wanted. Which, is already pretty often, mind you, but this would just increase it to every single day.

Last time I visited Mom (love you, sorry I don't call as often as I'd like), we drove out to the foothills and shot guns together. It was a lot of fun! I want to spread joy like that to everybody I know. One of my friends got married after highschool too, and I would absolutely make sure he was financially set to have his own kids someday if I won.

But of course, that wouldn't happen. Because none of us play the lottery. We all believe in hard work, self sacrifice, and relying on each other to achieve our goals in life. And you should too.
