10 mil vs 200 mil isn't going to change anything about how happy you are.


Well I’ll tell you this. Winning $10mm or $200mm will certainly boost my mood. That’s just a dumb thing to say. I don’t play the lottery, but this statement is just dumb.

Not at all, because your payout is directly reflected in your odds. Often times the payout is far beyond what is going to make a difference in how happy you are at the expense of greatly decreasing your odds of striking it rich. I knew id needed to explain that for some of our posters and I didn't bother, so that's my fault.
