What is a better use of $1: a Sunday Houston Chronicle or a Texas Lotto ticket?
It's something I debate every Saturday: Spend $1 on a Houston Chronicle Sunday early edition, or a lotto ticket. I figure: The Chronicle: I might get a decent coupon or two, but then I have to flip through nonsense articles, polarized op-eds, unfunny politicized comics, and travel news about places I could never afford, or... A Lotto ticket, for a visceral thrill of a win that will never happen. Of the two, which is the better use of a buck?

- The sunday paper has more odds of changing ur life then a lotto ticket.
- Lotto, the newspaper won't win you millions!
- lotto
- my rainy day fund is better than either of these
- I'd go for the newspaper...at least try to broaden your mind a little, even if you don't quite agree with what's written. Or maybe alternate...get a newspaper one week, a lotto ticket the next?
- You could line a birdcage with the chronicle. BUT, think how many more trees have to die for the paper versus a lottery ticket... Hmmm. Tough call.
- Well, you ask an interesting question that really only "you" can answer. It's a matter of personal preference. Either is fine - if you can't decide alternate what you buy. 1 Sunday the paper, next Sunday a Lotto ticket.
- lotto you could read the paper on-line . But you could win $$$$ if you play the lottery.
- The ticket...life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get.
- there is a 1:147,000,000 chance of winning the lottery there is a 1:3 chance you will enjoy the paper. I would take the paper.
- The Chronicle has a lot of good articles,& coupons, & you probably will never win the lotto, But you can't win if you don't play. 50%-50% #
- We do need some competition in the paper department here don't we. At least you can save some money with the coupons and afford that lotto ticket.
- The worst thing that can happen with the lotto is that you waste a dollar. The worst that can happen with the paper is that you read about all the worst things that happened today. I'd get the lotto ticket.
- I've read that paper...go lottery.
