Tonight's Mega Millions jackpot is the highest it has ever been. Would you play tonight's lottery if you could? Will you be telling your parents about this? What is the first thing you would do if you won over $500 million? Do you think gambling is wrong? Why or why not?

No, I wouldn't play the lottery if I could. I might tell my parents about this. If I had won over $500 million, I would give some money to family and put some in a account. Yes, I think gambling is wrong. Why, because it's not right and plus it's a sin. But that's just me.

I would play if I could. I know my chances of winning are almost zero, but as my step dad says you can't win if you don't play. My mom and step dad have bought $100 dollars worth of tickets and are waiting to see what happens. If I won the $500 million first I would make sure all the bills and stuff like that are paid. Gambling isn't bad it just needs to be kept in moderation.

If I could play the lottery I wouldn't. One reason I really don't have a chance of winning. If I would have won over $500 million dollars the first thing I would do is to buy a new house for my parents. I think gambling is wrong sometimes, to me it depends on what you're gambling on.
I'm not really a big fan of gambling. I think it's a sin and a waste of money personally. Tonight's lottery doesn't really interest me. If I did win 500 million dollars I would give some to the church and some to people who need it more than I do.

I can play but I have not. The first think I would do if I won over $500 million is I would put money away for college. I don't think gambling is wrong. I feel this way because it's not that serious. It looks like a harmless form of gambling. Although sometimes people take it too far and become enraptured with it. That is when it gets dangerous but that's their bad decisions, not everyone else's.

I would difinetely play tonight's mega million if I could because it is such an insane ammount of money. I'm sure my parents already know about the lottery ammount. The first thing I would do is probably buy a couple chains of something like Taco Bell, to ensure that I would always have money. Then I would go to college without worrying about how much it costs. For good measure, I'll go ahead and buy my brother a boat, because he demands that if I'm ever rich it is necessary that I give a boat to him. I do not think gambling is wrong, because the only downside is that people will form either a gambling problem or a massive debt, both of which will be at their own fault.
I probably wouldn't play it tonight because i'm just not into that stuff and the odds of winning are not high at all. My parents already bought 10 tickets each. I would pay off my parents house take a about a million go spend it and put most of it in savings. I don't think gambling is wrong but I don't think its a good idea either.
I don’t think gambling is wrong and I gave some money and numbers to my brother to play for me tonight because that would be so sweet to win! I think tonight a lot of people are going to win tonight and their going to get little to no money, that sucks but that’s what happens when so many people play the same game. My mother has always taught me about money and I would invest in a piece of land and a house and to make my family happy but I would put the rest in savings for my children and grandchildren for collage only. Some people ruin their lives and end up in a trailer after willing because they blow it and give it all away. Wow I couldn’t imagine how amazing it would be to win.
I hope it will get this high again when I turn 18. My parents wouldn't really care if I played it or not. They would be happy that I am trying to pay for college myself. I would have a heart attack if I won half a billion dollars. Gambling is wrong, but not when it comes to The Virginia Lottery. It helps people have fun and earn a bit of cash from it. It turns into gambling when you play over $200 worth everyday. I saw this guy play 500 dollars of lottery everyday with my own eyes. Now he's in jail for gambling and debt. I feel bad for him because I know him. Other than that, he deserved to go to jail.
I wouldn't play tonight's lottery if I could because it's so random and most likely you won't win so its a waist of money. If I had won the $500 million, I would get a house for everyone in my family and some cars. I would also buy a meet and greet with Justin Bieber :) I don't think that gambling in itself is wrong. But when someone puts so much money and time into it and eventually causes themselves to be running out of money and not be able to provide for their family, I think it is wrong and stupid.
Honestly if I did win that much money I would buy a brand new truck, boat, motorcycle, and house back in the woods on a river. I would not live extravagantly, I would just get what I needed to get by, and I would just live off that money the rest of my life. I honestly would never waste my money on a lottery ticket though so I guess I dont have to worry about winning 500 million dollars.
No I would not play tonight's lottery because I don't feel like wasting time playing against like over 1,000 people. No because no one in my family plays the lottery. save some and spend some. Yes I do because if u can win u can lose.
