I got to thinking, every time I heard of a lotto winner, it's always some old person, or at least a person who has well aged, or a group of old people? Why not young people?

Well, you have to be 18 to buy the tickets... and I think it's safe to say most younger adults are in college and such, and don't have the money to spend on lotto tickets. | |||

Around here only people who are already rich win the lottery. It's sad.
I'm convinced I'm gonna win one day, but that's gonna be impressive indeed seeing as I don't buy tickets. |

It may only cost a dollar for a ticket, but it's still not worth it. |

I was asked for my ID to buy a lotto ticket.
This was a month ago. Now think about that. Yea. Oh! And don't forget...people who do not speak english win the lotto as well. At least here they do..... (edited by Anya on 07-11-06 09:09 PM) |

Blah.. I keep thinking I should buy lottery tickets. Just cause you have to be in it to win it, and it sure would help a lot if I could ![]() Course, there's no bloody chance of it happening, so blah! But it would help me a lot at the moment, what with the debt and all ![]() |

It seems that I usually win on scratch tickets but that's only because I buy them once in a blue moon.
The Tetris one they have here is so good... *_* |

Yeah, it's the other way with most lotteries. I'm sure that some which don't have 49 numbers or so might have similar or better odds, but for most of them you'll likely get zapped first. | |||

From what I hear though, you have pretty good odds of winning SOMETHING with the scratchers. Might not be millions, but I'd take thousands any day. ![]() |

I just got an idea. Not related to the main topic, but it's about lotteries. Couldn't a city set up a lottery, and give the winning ticket to someone affiliated with the city, and basically channel free money into the city?
I'd be amazingly suprised if that hasn't happened before and there is a law against it, but still. I forgot where I was going with this... maybe it had something to do with gambler's ruin and house edge, I don't recall... |

Interestingly enough, VG (the biggest newspaper in Norway), had a thing on its front-page only a couple of days ago about a guy in his early twenties winning the national lottery. Now, VG is a crap newspaper with crap descicions when it comes to front-pages, but still, when they actually make a front-page story about a lottery-winner being young (his age was the focus of the story), then you know it's a rare occurence. | |||

Colin, you have Tetris scratch off tickets? That's pretty awesome. I still wouldn't buy them, but I'd want to. |
