Why cant my family or I win the lottery to help my mom?

Question

My mom works so hard is 55 years old, and does not have any money in retirement. I am only 21 and in school so I cant really help her. My wish in life is to be able to let my mom retire happily so she can finally be happy in life. I am looking for a new job, but cant seem to find one. I have been playing the lottery since January, and only won three dollars so far. I here so many people saying that playing the lottery is such a waste of money, but to me, it is the only way I know that I can give my mom the life she deserves. What do you think I should?

Answer 1

You have more chance to be hit by a comet than to win the lottery.

You have more chance to be accidently declared dead by the state than winning the lottery.

Alot of people need money and are in hard situations. Stop wasting money on the lottery, and give your Mum some. If you have enough to play the lottery, then you have enough spare to give to her. My family and I couldn't even afford to waste £1 on the lottery.

Answer 2

It's obvious.  The government is secretly trying to keep your specific family from succeeding in life, and they set up the entire lottery system to give you false hope and slowing hand over all your money to them.  

More seriously, I really want to to think hard and long about this... there are millions, yes millions of people who need money more than you in the United States alone.  So stop all this self pity and look at the big picture.  You should feel lucky that you have enough money to have 3 meals a day, have a place to sleep at night, and to have items of luxury such as a computer (which I'm assuming you have since you're on this site).  So BOO WHO "mommy can't retire comfortably to the Hamptons."  News flash!  Your mom isn't special.  Think of those who have to struggle just to survive.  So quit whining and Btching about your situation and do something about it instead of hoping for a miracle hand out from the government.  Put on the big boy pants and go make that money.  It's not the world's fault that mommy was too stupid to set up an IRA/Roth account.  So take my equivalent of a "back hand to the face" reality check and do something about it.

Answer 4

No it REALLY is a waste of money.  You are guaranteed to lose money but not guaranteed any wins.  Is your mother unable to work through illness or something?  In which case you can apply for government financial help.
