More than one kind of lottery per week in the same state. Used to be, One lottery, one drawing per week, $1. Now they add the 5-number lottery and the 3-number lottery and the scratch off lottery and it's all so confusing. Whatever happened to risking one dollar per week?
The number of scratch offs out here grows weekly-how people keep track is beyond me and one of them is $20! Along with pick 3, 4, 5, Power Ball, Gopher 5, Hot Lotto, Northstar and then a yearly one ($10 a ticket).
My peeve-when you see people you know should be buying milk, groceries for their kids buying lottery tickets.
Arkansas just voted in their first lottery - it should all be downhill from here. It kills me how people think $1-$10 a week can be gambled away and complain about being broke.
True story: a woman played the same numbers every week - $1 for five numbers. Two years without missing a week until she got the flu and did not get a ticket that week. Her numbers won. She was really upset and became seriously depressed. I thought how much better she would have felt if she had saved a dollar a week for a few years.
I don't care if people chose to play the Lottery. I just hate when I get stuck in line behind them when I'm in a hurry to get gas and head to work.
In all the years of Florida Lottery, I've only had 3 tickets....and those were purchased for me from other people. I would rather spend my extra dollar for a fancy coffee each week.
They even have keeno up here now...Good grief, just give me a scratch off, or let me pick 6 numbers-no kicker [what?] no pick three blah blah or boxed-huh? And if all this lottery money is supposed to be going to the schools, how come they're all BROKE?

When they started getting the extra lottery money, the various governments that used to fund them decided to cut their funding to keep them at the same level.

I can just scream when I hear such "smart" choices! I have to also wonder if their kids go to public school or private.
