I don’t play but sometimes think I should, just for the psychological value.

I just spent $3 this morning for 3 chances of winning tonight's $24,000,000 power ball drawing. I am very aware of the odds against my winning but if I want to piss away $3, it buys me a good dream. There definitely is a psychological boost involved and $3 is far, far from making me or breaking me.....and it is my money.

Go ahead, spend a buck, a restaurant cup of coffee costs more than that.

I grab a couple of tickets whenever I've at the check out stand. I know the odds are extreme but there are two that are guaranteed:

1. If you don't play, you can't win.
2. Someone eventually wins every game.

...that's what dreams are made of
