I must admit. I do buy powerball and lottery tickets. usually $2-4 a month but sometimes I get stupid and double that when the powerball is over 100mil. just think of all those fine cars I could buy if I could break that gambling habit and save that $2-8 a month I blow on such lousy odds. then again... I think about my odds of winning if I don't buy a ticket. no matter how bad the odds are, someone wins mega millions now and then, why couldn't it be me. in fact, I know someone that won 4 million right here in town. at least I'm not blowing it on cheap beer and strippers. for anyone who thinks spending $1 on such high odds is as stupid as you can get. if I would happen to luck up, beat the odds and win 100mil or so like others do all the time, the party is on me.
