    The lotto is a waste of money. Period.

    This article sums it up quite nicely. Bear in mind it is a satrical site but the math holds true.

    If lottery tickets told the truth...

    Statistically, playing the lottery is a fairly certain way not your investment back. It is guaranteed, however, that a winner will be picked and they won't be in the group without a ticket. It's a pretty cheap thrill if you keep under control.

    I play a one dollar powerball ticket once a week, always the same numbers.


    The most I've ever won was $300.00, but there's always that chance!

    I won $500 playing Keno one night after a long day at Heavenly. I'm up, and I plan to stay that way.

    Haha this reminds me of an amusing anecdote. One of my professors once said, "My retirement plan is Smith and Wesson." Then he acted out sticking a gun in his mouth and shooting.
