That guy must be a total dumbass. If he steadily invested that $100/week, he’d do well for himself.

Further proof of the inherent stupidity of the modern American people. As if the recent election wasn’t proof enough.

Yes, but he wins all the time...

It always kills me how these people delude themselves while they gamble away every last penny... some faster, some slower.

On a lighter note, a few things do well in a recession - or depression if Obama fully implements his economic program.

The only purpose the lotteries serve is to get tax revenue from people who don't pay taxes and whose main income is printing on U.S. Treasury checks.

Desperate times calls for desperate measures.

Let’s spend the second half of the $350 billion stimulus package on lottery tickets, and distribute them to the public.

Media and society tells you you should be rich, but you are average — so... without too much effort you too can own Brad Pitt & Jenifer Aston homes and the lifestyle of the rich and famous. It’s lottery.

If I remember correctly, in Orwell's ‘1984’ the sole source of entertainment for the proles (the lower class) was the lottery.

I guess increased lottery sales was the ‘hope’ part of Mr. Hope N. Change

re: many people are feeling lucky

I think a more accurate phrase would be that “many people are HOPING lucky.”

Well, that’s just what I’d want to do - take my even scarcer income and spend it on something with a million to one chance of winning.

Why not stand on the roof of a building and just toss your money over the edge?
