    Default if you won 60 million lottery.. .would you quit gambling for life??

    I say NO.... no freakin way... it's like asking a crack whore if she won 60 million, would she stop taking crack? and that answer is NO.. because she is addicted.. just like 99.4% of all of us people here are. We're a bunch of sick degenerate gamblers.. we are all compulsive and this is our life. We need the action..


    .. I say no one would quit because we love the rush gambling gives us. most of us bet here not for the money, but for the rush. it's like crack.. we love to lose. if we won everyday, we'd be depressed. people don't bet for the money, it's mostly for the high. it's the adrenaline rush the reason why we bet. some of us don't even need the money, but all of us gamble for the high..


    so how many of you would honestly never put another bet again if you won 60 million

    Gambling is a passion, but I doubt any of us would wager with marbles. We gamble to make money, at least that's what the goal should be. With $60,000,000, I think I'd find other ways to occupy my time. That's more than enough cash.

    I wouldnt quit but.... I would invest and buy myself a ton of toys. I would gamble March Madness, NCAA Bowl Games, NFL Playoffs, etc... So I wouldn't totally retire from gambling but I would scale way way back

    We all say we'd scale back or stop but how much would we wager when we got that itch?

    If I won 60 million, I don't think I would ever quit gambling. Unless I lost it all, then I would have not choice but to quit.

    Well for some reason it just feels better, when you win all the time there is no challenge. I guess I like being in the hole and try to dig out. The high is unreal when I am down like $600 with no money to pay book and have a few days to get even. I love the feeling it gives me.

    I'd stop. The less worries and headaches you have in life, the happier you are. I have to say, gambling is one big headache.

    most likely yes. I gamble to pass time and keep a positive attitude about something. with 60 mil, id prbably limit myself to friendly poker games.

    if i have 60 million, i would bet 59.999 million on michigan ML the next time they play app st. there is no way they'll lose twice in a row. then i'll buy 1k worth of crack to kill the time while the game is in progress.
