    Okay, I guess this is kinda based on the chinese are obsessive gamblers stereotype :p

    Knowing the odds, do you guys still play the lottery?

    Sometimes. I don't do it like every week. Not even every other week. I only play if I remember to buy a ticket. lol, and it depends how much money I have at the time. -huh

    $1!! Isn't it $2.00? lol.

    I don't really know how to play. I have to ask my sister what to do, But I usually only buy it when I'm with her. :xd:

    If you have the money, why not, you can always go on about the extremely low odds, but the fact is, there is still a chance you can win ;)

    no...but it's more out of laziness of actually getting a lotto ticket than anything else

    the last time was like 10 years ago (when I still was a child). Haven't bothered to buy a ticket since then, plus the years with some adv. math with probability theory both in high school and college didn't help to conviced me. I think that I just take it the longer way to be a rich

    horse racing is better because the odds are better and there is a kinda thrill to see your horse come in!

    i'll drop a dollar if i feel lucky. have a chance to dream before i end up hitting none of the numbers. however, $1 can get you a huge payout...thus the horrible odds.
