   Unfortunately I fail to empathise with gamblers not because I think they deserve to be afflicted by this disease but simply because I have never found gambling appealing as an activity.

   I bought a few lottery tickets when the prize reaches astronomical proportions but it was always a case of going along and doing it with family/friends just for fun.

   I guess I could understand the appeal if the chances to actually win something were pretty good but it’s a well known fact that the house always wins in the end.

      There is a double digit percentage of Americans who are relying on winning the lottery for retirement.
