    Who hasn’t bought a lottery ticket? I don’t buy them regularly but every now and then I do. My  logic is that a) you can’t win if you don’t buy a ticket and b) somebody has to win and c) it’s good value for my $2.

    A friend of mine says that she’s part of the lottery pool at work because she just couldn’t stand it if her coworkers won and she was the only one left at work and left out of the money! The first time ‘we’ bought a ticket…my husband was grumping around when we checked the ticket and found out that we didn’t win (not a big surprise really considering the odds) and when I asked why he was taking it so hard, he said that he’d never bought a ticket before and because we’d bought one, he expected to win! I also know of people who buy them as their ‘Financial Plan A’. 

    When I reflect on the reasons different people have for buying lottery tickets I realize that it says something about how each of us view money. How do you think about money?
