I heard once that the lottery is just another tax on stupid people. Good luck to all.

Maybe...and I see people spending hundreds of dollars who seem like not the type who have it to spare. That said, spending 2 bucks at any chance to win a billion is pretty hard to pass up. I disagree with Cuban in the lump sum department...take the money and run...to a Swiss bank!

I admit it... I gave my donation...... tell me you didn’t buy a ticket... it’s fun to dream. :)

I've heard it referred to as a poor person's retirement system.

Yep! The g’ment just raked in 75%+ of the lottery ticket purchase. 50% off the top and another 50 to 60% of the winnings.

I predict no one reading this will win. For the most part when you buy a ticket you get to fantasize and that’s it. This article and all the good advice Freepers dispense is just another form of fantasizing. Guess what. All of us have won a huge lottery when we were born. Congratulations to all us big winners!

It would suck if Mark Cuban won.
