In a blog post many moons ago, I asked if gambling was a bad thing. In that post, I said "From a money management standpoint once more, if we budget a small sum of money for entertainment and classify gambling as one form of entertainment, as long as we stay within what is budgeted, gambling would not become financially crippling and it might even be rewarding. The Chinese people have a saying, "mai ge xi wang", or "buying a hope". This, I feel, is not a bad thing." Read blog post here.
I have a habit of buying a few BIG SWEEP tickets every month. I would also try my luck at TOTO if the prize money is big enough such as the recent $5m TOTO.
Now, with the Chinese New Year coming up, perhaps I should try my luck once more! If we look at our telephones, we would realise that we could dial

2774. Could these be the lucky numbers for betting at 4D in the first week of the Chinese New Year?
Wishing all Chinese readers a Happy and Prosperous Chinese New Year! GONG XI FA CAI!
