11. The first National State lottery in England was drawn in 1569. The first prize was £5,000, and other prizes included tapestries and high-quality linen cloth. How much does it cost to enter where you live (and have you ever bought a ticket)?


In Arizona there a big number of lotto games. Some winnings are In the thousand dollar range and others in the millions. Lotto is $2.00 a ticket. Not to long ago the lotto was in the billion dollar range. An Australian man won it.

Yes, I’ve bought tickets when it goes higher than 50 million dollars. But I’m weird, I only buy one ticket. If I could win I could Do it with only one ticket. So $2.00 a ticket isn’t going to break me. I could use a win. 😁

Wow - a billion dollar win! I wonder what happened to the man who won it?

He was here going to school. He went home.

I've never played the lottery or bought a ticket. I actually got a couple as a gift once and I gave them back. My dad was a compulsive gambler so I have a real aversion to it in any form.

[pattrose]

Oh no. That’s too bad.

It's no biggy. I just didn't get the gambler's gene.

Thank goodness.

I'll try the Texas Lottery if it's super high. I won't have much of a chance, but a chance is better than none.
