In my case it is about $10 a year !

I’ll buy a $1 ticket on a whim ,sometimes months go buy with no lottery purchase.

I’m only a bit stupid.

I had a statistics prof. in college who said there is a number when it's actually mathematically favorable to buy a ticket. I can't remember what amount it was, but it might have been 25 million. He drew the theory on the blackboard. And he was an excellent stats prof.

Perhaps, but my dad won 3,000 and 75,000 playing scratch off tickets.

Yeah, I much prefer confiscatory taxes
