Is it worth playing the lottery?

Advantages: You are helping good causes when you lose

Disadvantages: The odds are in Camelots favour

Let's face it we all waste money- if you just look at all your expenditure and split it between essential and non essential- it is quite enlightening. The figures published recently on the volume of food waste per person was staggering. So spending £1 on the lottery is, by comparison a mere pittance.

Now let's assume you will lose most of the time- remember all the good causes you have supported- now that feels better doesn't it?

But my feeling about whether it is worth playing the lottery is, as the saying goes-you have to be in it to win it.

A lottery ticket is a chance, albeit it a very very slim chance that you could change your life.

When you go into work and your boss, is doing his/her control freak, bullying routine. When life is feeling like a ten ton weight on your shoulders. When there aren't enough hours in the day to work, clean, cook etc; etc; and to have any quality time left to enjoy. Then you cannot help but think that although -money will not bring happiness, it can buy freedom.

That's why most of us buy a ticket - we are buying hope.

When day to day life, can sometimes feel like a nightmare- is it not understandable that we buy a dream?

Summary: It doesn't have to be millions- a tenner would be welcome
