    I admit, when the jackpot is really high, we'll buy a MegaMillions ticket. My mother always buys us scratch-off tickets for holidays. Other than that, no lottery here. Although, I guess I can't complain when we don't win, cuz you gotta be in it to win it! Just doesn't seem too frugal to me.

    We play maybe twice a year. It has to be a huge jackpot. It's fun to dream.

    Maybe once a year if the jackpot is really high.

    Sometimes when it's really high, maybe once every 2 years or so. I do like getting the scratch off ones for my birthday in a card. Little game and who knows, maybe I'll get lucky...

    Not often and usually just if it is a really big jackpot.

    We buy a ticket every week but only a cheap one and even then we go halves with our son, so if we win anything we split it two ways. Biggest win so far is around $A700. That was the only time and since then our biggest win has been around $A40. But as I said it only costs us $A2.95 each per week.

    When the jackpot is high, we will put together a pot of money at work --- so far we haven't won anything but a few free tickets.
