I literally JUST told someone that too (the whole “you can’t win when you don’t play” thing). We were like that in paying off our mortgages – always wanting them done but not DOING anything about them ;) Glad we changed that!
@kcli – Hahaha.. I LOVE your father-in-law! He/you are much luckier than I was when I tried doing that with $100 two years ago ;) We came away with $38 of winnings, but luckily we were playing for charity and a handful of other people jumped in and we ended up raising $200+. So at least it wasn’t a TOTAL fail, haha… lemme know what happens on his next birthday ;)
@Justin Wright – True that!

A bit unrelated… for my father-in-law’s 80th b-day we bought him $80 lottery tickets (@$1 each). He won $83 and wanted to “re-invest” so we bought $83 more tickets and he won $52. We then re-invested that into 52 tickets and he was down to about $30 in winnings. I really wanted to see how long the initial $80 would play out but he decided to cash out while he was ahead (and I was out $80). This might be a fun experiement for next year’s anniversary.

I thought it was kind of funny for winning $2 but he seemed little excited about it. I’m sure inside, he was disappointed. I think lotto is waste of your money but then again, if you don’t play you have 0% chance of winning.
