I have never played lottery in my life, its already forbidden in my religion, but I have a dislike for it as well seeing people having high hopes only to get disappointed...
and your religion is....?
A few years ago, I worked for a Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada - Caesars Palace -, I was office representative in Caracas Venezuela, no gambler, just collection and Casino& Hotel promotion, I think this was the cause, the main one, to start to play, but I stopped, to play lottery / bingo/ etc... that's a kind of addiction...
I have friends who lost everything...everything
