I win the lottery every week. The dollar I don’t flush down that toilet is available for investing or spending.

Well, lahhhdeedaah. A dollar for a dream is cheaper and better for you than a pack of cigs or a can of chew.

“Well, lahhhdeedaah. A dollar for a dream is cheaper and better for you than a pack of cigs or a can of chew.”

Obviously you missed the message. Gambling is a waste of money.

But let’s examine the Powerball “dream”:
The chances of winning are one in 146,107,962. Let’s assume you go to a capacity Ohio State game. They are going to pick one seat for a prize. Do you hold your breath thinking your seat will be picked when you look at the size of that crowd? Now consider that only one seat is to be picked out of 1,438 Ohio State Stadiums that Saturday. That’s the Powerball win probability. Personally, I’ll take the buck.
