Same. Went to a casino once, pulled a slot machine and won $30. Then lost $30. Never returned to one.

I do enjoy being gifted scratch-off tickets, though, but I won't spend my own money on them (unless as gifts to others). I manage at a grocery store and I'm often surrounded by people who aren't particularly wise with money. Every time there's a big lottery drawing coming up I get to hear from everyone how "THE JACKPOT IS UP TO 30-MILLION NOW! YOU BETTER GET A TICKET! YA CAN'T WIN IF YA DON'T PLAY!"

Yeah, and I don't burn money if I don't play, either..

    I join in the lottery pools at work, not because I think we'll win, but because I can't bear to imagine the horror of having everybody at work win the fucking lottery but me.
