Oh puhleeze, I hope you didn't really try? If you spent over $5, you were rooked. If God wanted you to win, he'd let you find a winning ticket on the sidewalk (advice given to me by a friend!) :)
I'd rather spend money when I feel like it on a lottery than having large amounts of money taken against my will in the form of a state income tax.
Besides... the money helps pay to educate the chirren(TM).
I sure hope that god did not went me to be alone in that case.
