I invest in other places.

I have zero chance of winning - I don't buy lottery tickets, Sam!

I am retired from RE Sam Shueh but the day I quit being productive will be the day I die.

I do not understand Sam. 

$2 bucks back from what? 

How did I do with what?  

What do those numbers mean?  

I just cannot read minds.  I cannot even read between the lines here and figure out what you are talking about.

Did not play. Instead drove down the road and threw my $2 out the window.

I'm semi-retired and I work harder now than I did when I wasn't retired! 🤔

I didn't play this one. But I sure would love a 2x Spicy Bloody Maria playing some Keno later today!

I am certainly not depending on any lottery.  

Retired from working and playing the lottery!

Not sure what you are referring to. I'm having too much fun to retire though.

Nope... and have never purchased a lottery ticket in my entire life.

Somebody had to contribute to the prize money. If I had won, I would be too busy celebrating to reply to your question.

I call what I do semi-retirement!!!   if you're talking about the lottery, I don't play but maybe I should!

Don't know yet. We bought as a group.  I'll find out if my friend goes missing with all the money.

I do not play the lottery.  But no, retirement is still years away for me.

I just hope to be able to retire one day.

No plans in the near future, but planning to slow down a little. It would have to be a pretty big win for me to retire. I enjoy my work.

No, retirement is not something I am thinking about.

I am not against winning prizes but I look at the odds of winning & then decide if it's worth pursuing. I do not play it.

YES!

SOON as I turn 90

LOL!  I've won the lotto probably 6 times in my life.  Max payout was $30.

I won $6, that $4 more will get me 5 more power bal tix for the next drawing

Do I have to buy a ticket to win ?

I don't play... but I do check hubby's numbers just in case!  

its the same as Las Vegas...the vast majority pay-in but don't get paid out. Getting a small amount back is not a win but they count it as such and get away with it too. The hope of winning is a false one as most winners cannot believe they have won that's how far fetched it is. You cannot play lotto or gamble to win but only hope of winning which is slanted, tainted and carrot-ed against you really winning. Despite all warnings, common sense and caveats, the desperation, beguilement and guaranteed loss will and does take place. People will actually program themselves to do something they shouldn't. Think: courtrooms,  prisons, and hospitals where the hard lessons are learned. Lotto doesn't teach a hard lesson and that is why it goes on......Its actually cruel. NOTE: when the lottos first got started, there were many winners. However the lotto's share of the winnings made it not profitable for them. When they upped the odds, it was in their favor to make and keep more not the players. 

I have already retired. Thanks to the real estate opportunities.

I didn't think I was going to.  Why, what have you heard?

I don't think that way.  A

No sir, I quit playing the lottery over a year ago.  Now, I go to the casino, been doing well.  

As long as I'm enjoying what I am doing, I have no intention of retiring.

My eventual retirement will not be because I hit the lottery big time.

Not planning on retiring for some time.

I am cutting back since I am getting up there in age.

 The beauty of real estate is that you can stay in business as long as you want if you stay in contact with all of your buyers and sellers ...

The lottery is for people who are not good at math.

No

I fully expect to transition before retirement.

Actually, didn't we ALL think the same way at some point in our lives?

It appears those lottery peeps are completely unaware of the birthdates of my family. Someone there needs to get their 'south end' kicked!

I'm semi-retired now.. just doing refererals, past clients and any new busines that cmes my way..

You gonna have to claim that on your taxes Sam Shueh ? It may put you into a whole new tax bracket huh? Not retiring anytime soon and love what I do, can balance it with vacation travel done creatively. Our job has changes daily so it does not get boring or feel like a grind. Yet. You thinking about it Sam ? Hope you have hobbies or a honey doo list when you climb off the real estate treadmill.
