Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
-- Macbeth, Act 5, Scene 5

SPEND A BUCK
Question Of The Week 10-22-18
Do you gamble? What was your biggest win? (Lottery, Casino, Bingo, horse racing, cards, sports, etc.)
1985 placed $2 bet on Spend A Buck in the Kentucky Derby and got back $10:-)
WE won 100 dollars once on a Nevada ticket....You can count the number of tickets we have bought over our married life on your fingers. Nope...not gamblers.
Not a gambler at all. It has truly never occurred to me buy a lottery ticket and a casino is just overstimulating, I can't stay in one for longer than a minute.
I played nickel slots once & won $300; played the horses once & won $700; played bingo twice & won $90; yet to win the lottery because, in spite of my beginner's luck, I'm a tightwad & seldom ever gamble...BUT, I will buy a few tickets this week. :-)
Ha ha, we are on the same page. I once won $1500 from the Florida lottery via an office pool. That was after 7 years of playing so I am not sure I broke even.
Buying lottery tickets is gambling, but I only buy if there is enough left after grocery shopping and bill paying, also I wait until the prize is big enough to make sharing worthwhile.
The only horse race I have a bet on these days is our legendary Melbourne Cup...which always falls on the first Tuesday in November...hence...6th Nov this year. When my late brother was alive he often would ring me with tips and I'd some times have a bit of a flutter, but since his passing I only have bet on the Melbourne Cup now.
I do place entries in our Lotto/lottery each week. Gotta be in it, to win it!! :)
Yes, comment eaten! Years ago won 5 numbers in Megabucks before a bigger game. Only won $400 bucks, but it was on my Birthday! I like lottery! Hit a few hundred here n there on scratch tix these days.

ReplyDeleteI enjoy the slot macines when in Nevada. All winnings go right back in. Lucky I don't live there.

ReplyDeleteI won $777 once off a Lucky Seven's scratch off.
ReplyDeleteI've never gambled once in my whole life! How boring I am.
ReplyDeleteNot a gambler. I buy a very occasional scratch lottery ticket.
ReplyDeleteNo, i am not a gambler, i am too sore of a loser when it comes to money.
ReplyDeleteAbout twice a year I buy a scratch ticket but that’s it. Not worth it.
