Good luck!

But, statistically, if you bought a ticket; you already lost.

The lottery is a tax on the poor and the stupid.

I've done masonry work for two people who have won pretty big on the lottery. One lady hit Powerball for one hundred million dollars. She took it lump sum and I think she wound up with twenty-five million after it was all said and done. Another guy hit for a million. Those were both right here in Maine.

She started building houses for her relatives and he updated his house. Someone is going to win, just not me.

I look at it not as a chance to win the lottery but as a few days of fantasy for $2.00. last time I went to a movie it was $12 per person to get in, over in little over an hour, so bad a movie I couldn't remember what I saw. So with a lotto ticket I get a few days of fantasy of what would I do if. Much better value I'm my opinion. Plus the government need more money.

Yup.

I watched a program one featuring an economist. When it turned to lotteries, scratch offs etc, he said we economists call it the stupid tax.

That said I buy one about every 4 or 5 years lol.
