Once in a while i pick up a scratch off, and sometimes goto the casino..

maybe.. 100-200 a year tops?

Maybe once a year i'll buy one of those scratch things for like 2.50

Not very much, probally under $100 in a year. The most I've won is $5 from the bingo/crossword puzzle scratch things, I get these things as gifts sometimes.

I wanted to buy a lottery ticket a couple weeks ago but I couldn't figure out where to put all the numbers and what boxes to check and when I gave it to the cashier she said I did it all wrong and I gave up.

Probably £10 a year as I never really remember to get them. Scatchcard-wise maybe £20, I'm pretty much evens on those thanks to winning £12 or £16 a couple of times.

£25 overall.

joined a syndicate years ago with £25, had a few small wins and always put my winnings back into it - maybe one day it'll produce some proper money, but at the moment it just carries on paying for itself.

prefer premium bonds, had a bit more luck with those, and you can get your money back if you want.

nothing on lotteries. poker home games every once in a while, 15 euro buy in.

Maybe $1.00 a week on the Mega Millions

It's funny durring a high jackpot standing online with these dudes buying $50 - $60.00 worth of tickets I get up and say "$1.00 mega millions cash please" everyone looks at me funny.

If I goto Atlantic City I usually bring about $250 to blow, but that's once a year.

Meh I dunno, on lottery's I barely spend anything at all maybe a couple dollars ever 5 years lol.

I do gamble though, I'll play the video machines once in awhile and I gamble a little playing poker too but otherwise that's it. At my highest I probably spent about 300 a month and lowest maybe 5$ a month. I don't play the video machines anymore though cause I got better things to do with my time when I'm out at the bars now

I've bet about $500 in 4 months but have come out only a little ahead, about $200 or so. Since I got to Vegas I started placing a lot of bets on college football games early earlier in the school year, then every once in awhile while I'm the casino placing a bet on sports, I'll stop by a black jack table now and then. But being only 18, and not wanting to risk losing a fake ID by trying to use in the casino, if I win a lot I have to walk out with my chips without trying to cash them in, take them back to campus, and have a friend who's 21 cash them for me next time he's there. If anyone stops me in the casino while I'm still at the table, I can tell them my ID is in my car and I'm going to go get it. They can't make you leave your chips there. It's your right to take them with you.
