“Well, unless you purchase at least 1 ticket, your odds of winning drop considerably!”
I know some call it a “stupid tax”. That only applies if you expect to win. I buy tickets sometimes just for the fun of thinking about the things I *could* do. It’s a lot cheaper entertainment than going to the movies. With the added benefit that lightning could strike 3 or 4 times or what ever the statistic is.
Lol, we also buy 1 on occasion. At least the odds aren’t zero then. And you do get that rush of excitement when checking to see what the winning number is. :)
