    my mom used to buy a one dollar lottery ticket once a week when she was alive and still living by herself. i don't know how many weeks that was. i know it was more then a decade after my dad died. i'm pretty sure she never won anywhere near that much back.

    i'd rather give the same buck to some pan handler on the street. at least he'll enjoy a good beer out of it. and the odds of getting anything back that way are about the same.

    Everyone who's ever won on any lottery,no matter what country they're in,had those same odds stacked against them-and won anyway.
    To those who want to play-I wish you good luck.

    nothing wrong with that, just avoid the depression that comes from expectation.

    I do scratch tickets a couple times a year. Less then ten I'd guess but I don't count. I understand the odds but I play for the fun of gambling rather than analytics of my chances of winning.
