I’ve never bought a lottery ticket in my life, but someone gave me a couple of scratch tickets for my birthday once. They cost $5 each, one won $7 and the other $8. Must be beginner’s luck — think I’ll quit while I’m ahead!! (If they’d been losing tickets, I’d have rather had the $10 than the ‘fun’ of scratching them…)
I figure the only way to beat the odds on the Lotto is if God WANTS me to win, and if God wants me to win I only need to play once (after all, you’ve got to meet him halfway). I played once, and I didn’t win. No need to play any more.
Remind me of two horse racing jokes. One is the gambler who comes home and says to his roommate, “Hey, I broke even at the track today… and I really needed the money!” The other is the fellow who, after losing every bet all day, buys a ticket on every horse in the last race, walks down to the rail, and yells “Come on, SOMETHING!”

Love Broomie’s little Victory Dance in panel 3! She is, however, sadly addicted to The Fool’s Tax.

Didn’t know Broomie was poor and stupid. Hey Broomie, got a little game called 3 card Monte. Oh, look, that pretty girl just won $50.

I won LBJ’s lottery in 68. Sent me a letter of congratulations. Free room and board and gave me $114 a month for 2 years.

For some, playing the stock market is almost as bad without the same potentially big payoff.

Hey Broomie, how about betting all your money on one coin flip? Heads I win, tails you lose.
