It may be stupid and irrational, but... let's see... $145M for the cash option (~60% after tax, or ~$85-$90M)... I will buy a few $$ worth of tickets again today. I only play when the jackpots get ~$50M. For the naysayers out there... jeez-o-man.. I've spent a lot more on a lot worse. This is the only gambling I do.

And, if I win... I can throw away those letters from Nigeria.

And, also... if I win... I'm outa here. No offense meant.

I only play when the odds against equal or exceed the payoff---when that happens I go by the 7-11 and get a single ticket if I'm thirsty or need gas. Otherwise, I just drive by and throw a dollar bill out the window for the sake of efficiency.

Yeah what a waste of time, piddly-assed $20-$30 Million jackpots. Hah! Who needs it!
