It's ok to play once in a while but not to the point where you can't even put food on the table.
I see people who look like they don't have a pot to piss in lay down $200 for tickets at least once a week. The "it won't happen to me" mentality works the other way when the potential outcome is good rather than bad.

Don't get me wrong I still play the what would I do if I won a billion dollars game. I just assume I will find the winning ticket on the floor. I mean the odds of that can't be THAT much worse than the odds of winning?

Well, as I said before,,, now I gotta wait [maybe] 10 straight weeks without winner[s] to get into lotto/mega/powerball hype like this. It is like those office pot draw with 10^8 times worse odds.

I buy one powerball ticket every week.

Doesn't hurt. Last year I won 100 bucks matching 4 numbers!

Biggest i've won was 500 when I was 19. I gave me a huge smile.
Some says it is better to win two $500 than one $1000 for tax purpose.

See the link I posted above for the woman who started a gofundme page because she spent all her money on powerball tickets and didn't win...
Yea i saw that on Yahoo,

Seriously when i see stories like these i often wonder if it's all for jokes and attention.
How can someone really be that mentally paralyzed?
