Do you send it in or toss it in the trash? We always send ours in. It's a nice little pipe dream.

Do you buy lottery tickets? We don't have a lottery here, but we always buy one ticket anytime we visit a state that does have one. Just for fun.

I used to send them in... but I got sick and tired of how much effort it took to put this sticker here and that sticker there, sign here, initial there....aaaacccckkk!!!

We don't have a lottery here, either, but GA does and I live about 20 mins from the state line... need to start filling my gas tank up (gas is way cheap in GA) and buying a few lottery tickets... just never think of it at the right time!

I try to send in the PCH ones if they don' t have any alternate entry instructions for not ordering (otherwise they hit the trash--no reason to have to do extra work because you're not buying when buying is not supposed to affect your chances of winning.)

Usually though I enter online. Much quicker and easier.

I've bought lottery tickets before--usually scratch ones--but have never won more than $20.

I used to send them in, but I don't receive them anymore

We have a couple big lotteries here, and I only buy tickets occassionally.

I usually send in the PCH stuff (although they make it kind of a pain in the butt to do...!). We have PowerBall lottery...and I buy tickets only if it's a big jackpot. A couple of weeks ago it was at $315 million....I bought $10 worth for that one!!!!

When I was in Florida, I heard about that lottery. I was so excited because I was gonna buy some tickets; until someone told me they weren't available there :( It could have been me who won that huge jackpot ;) :biglaugh: :\

I don't get the PCH envelopes anymore either. ?( Maybe they were cut off when I sent my name in to be taken off the junk mail list??

We have lottery and Power Ball tickets here, but we rarely buy any. Dh always wants to buy for the big drawings and I always tease him that if we buy for that we should buy for the 'smaller' ones because $1 million would also be a HUGE treat! :D

used to send them in now i put them away 'til I have time and they expire. LOL
oh man I wish we had a lottery here. for about 2 months I would drive to VA -45 mins. and get tix for 2week at a time. Too hard to do now with the baby and a toddler.
My family lives in NY I was thinking about sending them a SASE with money every so often to buy the tix and just mail them right away. But I figured it will probably be agrivating for them. I tell my dh about everyother week we need to play.I just have this feeling I will hit it big LOL
I remember backhome I won a million dollar lottery and I was thinking of all the stuff I wanted and I only ended up getting $95 LOL
So maybe sometime in the near future NC will have a lottery....NIC

That is okay, if you want some, let me know and I will be happy to get you some.

(But if you win, would you split it with me) ;)
