I can believe that.

That said, I buy the occasional ticket. What you get is a $1 bookmark at worst, and the pleasure of considering how you could crush your enemies if you won.

My boss told me it is a tax on people bad at math, to which I replied... “At 180 million to 1, it’s much better odds than getting rich working for you.”

Mathematically speaking, the odds of winning the lottery are the same whether you play or not.
