And I'm playin.

I realize I have a better chance of being hit by a meteor, or of having jungle secks with Scarlett Johansson, but I'm playing anyway.

Not playing at all means (a) I can't win, and (b) I can't fantasize about what I would do with the money if I did win. Not playing means giving into despair, and admitting that I am responsible for my own happiness and that of my loved ones, and that I need to work on my own life.

frick that. I want millions of dollars.

I don't even consider playing until it's over 500 million and even then it's rare.

My grandfather called the lottery a tax on stupid people...

With that being said I pay my tax once or twice a year.

Exactly if it's less than $250 million, it's just not worth my time.

I get why it's called that but why not spend two dollars every now and then and just try? It's not like it's a scam and no one ever wins. Someone will win and have more money than they know what to do with. Think of the amount of people you could help with that money, I'm not just talking about family but total strangers that really need help.

I'll do it a few times a year just to be able to legitimately daydream.

I spend money on way more stupid things, the couple bucks is worth the few days of thinking about what I would do with the money

I just don't understand people's logic when that say they don't play unless it reaches X amount. You meant to tell me that $250m+ is worth your time and dollar or 2 and $40m isn't? Would you really be upset if you won $40m off of $2? Even if that $40m pot was split 10 ways...would you really be upset if you won $4m off of $2? I just don't get it. I'd be absolutely thrilled if I won the LA lotto off of $1
and that's routinely under 1m.

That being said, my criteria for playing is that I'm getting gas and I happen to have some cash in my pocket. I don't carry cash very often and I don't go out of my way to play.

If I win, I'm calling the home office to let them know that someone else will be working the drive-thru window during the lunch shift.
