I have been wondering this alot lately. Seems like no one I know is slowing down at all....

<Moved to Lottery Discussion forum>

Please post in the appropriate forum ... thank you.

I still play. I have just cut back on the amount I spend.

I play the same as before which is about $5 a week. I would imagine the individuals who are cutting back on their lottery spending are probably the ones who spend $20 or more a week.

I have been playing just as much.

Now is a great time to win the lotto. Prices on everything are low right now.

I've cut back and I didn't spend $20 or more a week.

Me too,

I've cut back and still not sure if I will increase it back to my original amount once the economy picks up.  I've saved well over $100 so far since I am playing $5 less per week and have not won anything.  that's $100 less that I would have lost.

Working where I do, I have notice that lottery sales have almost doubled just since gas has dropped so drastically!

I still play $1 per play for Mega Million and $2 per play for Powerball.Thats only $6 a week for 4 chances at a dream come true.Cheap thrills!

i can't say i really play any more or less but I do think i'm a bit more obsessed with it b/c times are tougher!

Still playing as much, but I don't play heavily on a regular basis. My play is up right now but the MM jackpot is high and I seem to be on a lucky streak with scratches.  I'm hoping the lucky streak will spill over to MM.

I play the same amount, I play by subscription so I have already paid. I have wondered about renewing my subscription, but why not it's only a few dollars a week and someone will win; and it could be me one week. I don't drink alcohol or smoke cigarettes, so this can be my little vice. As the revenue raised is public funds - everybody wins!

since the cost of gas has went down. I've probably play twice as much.  Not even dinner movie in NYC though.

well im still playing but not as often as i did like 6 months ago!
