Gambling
Do you gamble, a little or a lot, and what would you do if you won a lottery?
I like to bet $5.00 on a play-off game with a couple of guys at work, and especially LOVE the harassment that we share in fun!
My husband and I take turns spending $5.00 a week on our provincial lottery.
I would see a money advisor on what to do with the money and then my husband and I would sneak out of town before everybody and his dog wanted to have a piece of the pie.

Re: Gambling
My math skills are more than sufficient for games like poker. The only problem is, I can't stand it if I lose the objectively better hand, because of a bad river.

Re: Gambling
She refuses to play Strip Poker. Even though when I met her, she had poker nights once a week, she claims she does not know the rules.

She is just afraid of losing everything before I even have taken off my shirt.

Shy people are in general not exhibitionists.
