Well the way I see it if I only invest a dollar a week that's only 52 dollars a year and if it is all lost that's not that big a loss. If a single 50 dollar win does come in it really does feel like a reason to celebrate while still being a net loss anyway. The good part is for the big winners whose winnings are completely unearned and go right into the economy more rapidly and completely than almost any other large quantity of dollars can spread. And I can support that to the limited extent that I can easily afford. It's worth it for somebody to get a windfall even if it's extremely unlikely to be me. The main choice I have is if I want to wait for a drawing or buy a scratch-off and be an instant loser.
