    If it makes you feel any better millions have been raised to fund our countries future thru education!!!! Not throwing the money away at all, just think of it as charity with the slightest chance to be millionaire..

    I'm sure the right tax guy could write those off. I mean it is technically going to taxes already

    yet . . .. I'd bet that more people have won the lottery than . . .gotten struck by lightning while being bitten by a shark or a random non-Pennsylvania non American becoming senator

    So . . . . how does the math on that add up?

    Someone has to win so the odds to me are irrelevant. It's just entertainmemt like going to a casino. Buy a ticket, get a good night's sleep full of billionaire dreams, and then it's a new day.
