I see a nicely presented elderly lady at the Marathon station where I get my coffee. She says "It's the only thing I do. I buy a couple of one/two dollar scratch offs and have my fun. My husband has passed. This is my excitement for the day"
I also see the skanky looking mid-thirties guy dropping $50 on tickets and drives off in a rusted S10 with a broken leaf spring.

I have bought one or two giganto prize tickets in my life, millions and millions to one chance, and still wondered if I would win.
