- warmfuzzykitten 14y agoYes, that's why the state you live in is happy to sell you lottery tickets. There's a sucker born every minute.
- acangiano 14y agoMathematically, I agree. Psychologically, many people are paying for the fantasy and it may be what helps them cope with an otherwise pretty tough life. The idea/fantasy that "all this could change one day thanks to the lottery" may very well be worth the ticket price to those people. I'll hold my judgment and not call them suckers on this basis.
