l just turned 18 today and l bought some scratch tickets. last night at midnight l bought 5 1$ ones. l won a dollar and bought another one and it lost. today l bought 5 more of the same game. after 10 losses in a row would you switch the type of card or keep going for it?
i know its better to save but l already have 3,000 in the bank. and l think im gunna get cash for my birthday

l would stop completely. When it comes to gambling l use a three strike rule - lose three times - walk away or get out of the game.

Your 18. 10$ a week x 52 weeks is 520$. 520$ equals one year of home insurance. Think save not spend.

ok everytime u have the feeling that u want to spend the money on scratch tickets take the money and put it on a bank account or use the piggy bank lol its better.

Take the same $5 a day and put it in a savings account. If the account averages 4% interest per year you will have more than $28,000 on your 30th birthday.
It is true that in 12 years paying $5 a day you might win a million dollars. But then again you might not.
The only thing you know for sure is you will have spent $21,840 on Lottery tickets.
