Many years ago the stock market dropped 518 points in one day, that day in Michigan so many people went out and bought daily 3 tickets with the number 518 that if the number had come up, the lottery would have lost money, 518 didn’t come up until the next day.
Imagine a roll of pennies stretching from the San Antonio Riverwalk to the Red River along Interstate 35, with one penny scratched with the letter “X” and inserted at random into the roll. Your chance of pulling the penny with the X out of that roll is about equal to your chances of winning the Powerball Lottery. So buy those lottery tickets. It’s voluntary taxation.

Anyone’s chances of winning the lottery would be much better if they would stick with the lower payout ones instead of the megabuck ones.

I would much rather win the lottery, other than getting hit by lightning.

Not that it matters, but I remember hearing the odds were better to get hit by lightning.
