Q:is a jew permitted to gamble what about lottery tickets
A:The Mechaber says anyone who gambles is a ganaf the Rama says the minhag is to be makal and allow people to play dice but only if it is not his only job(Rav Sheshes)so sefardim cant gamble and ashkenazim can Rav Ovadia Yosef says a safardi cant by a lottery ticket and ashkenazim it is not a good idea b/c if you do it full time it is bad the Mechaber says how can a safardi gamble if a person is mechiev himself in the beginning but the loser is mochel the winner it is not an asmachta
