> But if you buy a ticket every time the jackpot is above $100M That's the only way I'll play. Once in a while I'll drop two bucks on a seriously large jackpot. If I think rationally, I'm pretty sure winning would ruin my life. But it's fun to fantasize about what that kind of money would enable. Two bucks buys me a day or so of that, once or twice a year. I don't get the appeal of scratch-its or regular casino gambling, though. Even if you win the jackpot, it's a pittance. I assume that kind of gambling is a different mindset, more focused on playing than winning.
