Its stupid if you don't think $1 isnt worth even a slight chance at millions.

Millions of people pay $4 for cigarettes that could kill them....

I pay $5 for a chance at something that could give me some financial freedoms (pending I stay true to myself and use it wisely).

I think ill rank mine $5 needless spending lower on the stupid scale compared to other things.

My rationale is that the $5 spent on a huge multimillion dollar jackpot provides a certain entertainment value just in the "daydream enhancement" alone.

I didn't say where it ranked, only that it was stupid. It is. We all do stupid things in search of hope.

You have a significantly greater chance of getting hit by lightining inside your home in the next 1/2 hour than you do of winning the powerball lottery.
