Got myself 5 lines today ,, Wont win but at an extra $10 on my lotto budget for week its not going to kill me

I have seen in my area people going nuts and its a bit sad because these people will regret all that $$$ they are wasting when bills come in at end of month

Also if your going to splurge on lotto spend that $$$ on $10 instant or higher because at least you will get some of it back with break even tickets

Sure, I can understand the "so you're telling me there's a chance" logic, but when thinking about the odds, it still strikes me as a waste of money.

I would simply say if you can afford to play a few lines then even if you don't like lotto you should go ahead and do it

I mean is a lunch at McDonalds price ticket going to hurt you? Maybe you will be the lucky one or one's

If you have to decide between paying bills or paying for a lotto ticket and you choose the lotto ticket you're an idiot, which probably explains why you have to decide between a lotto ticket and paying your bills in the first place.

If you want to spend 2 dollars or 10 dollars so you can daydream for a day I suppose that's fine, but if you're buying enough tickets where you're deciding between your bills and lotto I just don't know what to say about you.

I bought a ticket so my probability of winning was \epsilon > 0.

Imagine if one single person hits this lottery

 

[Soliloquy of a Dogge]

Factoring in lump sum, federal, average state and local tax, the winner will get about $450 million. Still a nice payday.

Ever heard of addiction?

Reasonable thought processes usually take back seat to people who are mildly addicted to things. Or can't prioritize their financial commitments.
