about playing the lottery.

the odds of winning are so small therefore i don't play. but a coworker who does always says to me...."you can't win if you don't play".

technically true but practically idiotic.

help me with a snappy comeback please!

If you buy a ticket your chances are SLIGHTLY better than if you DON'T buy one?

I don't play unless I win.

Everytime I don't play I win a dollar.

...."you won't loose if you don't play".

Whether you buy a ticket or not, the odds of winning the lottery are the same.

I like that...

I usually use,

"When I'm not in it, I win it."

"The lottery is a tax on people who are bad at math" - anon.

On the other hand, a dollar can buy you a dream for a couple days.

I rather save my money. The lotto is such a waste, I have never bought a ticket and never will.

If I want to gamble I'll go up to the casino.

The payout is under 50%. A slot machine will often pay out 95% of the intake, and they still make a ton of money.

Still, I occasionally buy a few tickets.

You are far more likely to get struck by lightning than to win the jackpot. Check the numbers.

Agreed. But I'd rather buy a lottery ticket than stand under a tree in a thunderstorm.

"Is that what they say at the trailer park?"

"So?"
