Do you play powerball (lottery)?

Why don't you play? I don't play much either, but when it's big I figure I can spend a couple of bucks and hope.

I'd probably give away 10 million to family, friends and charity. Maybe not even that much, fuck all those people now that I think about it.

I'm not much of a gambler because several members of my family have serious gambling addictions. I've had to loan them money or spend hours trying to track them down at casinos so many times in my life. It really put me off to any form of gambling, I guess. Once in a while I like to play black jack or poker though.

Plus.......I voted against the California lottery because I figured it would just give them and other addictive personalities another option to throw their money away and I didn't believe the revenue generated was almost all gonna go to the schools (which, of course, is not where most of it goes). Everyone else in my family, except the niece who lives with me, plays the lottery religiously. None of them have gotten more out of it than they put in.

It would be very cool to win though. Maybe next time there's a big jackpot, I'll play.
