My dad says it's "Stupid Tax" to play the lottery because the odds are so bad. I tell him that the odds are infinitly worse if you don't play at all.
In fact, the odds are better that you will die on the way to the store to buy the ticket then to actually win.
The odds are 1 in 195 million. They say you are 251 times more likely to be struck by lightning!
Their are lies, damn lies, and statistics I guess. Since the odds of someone being struck by lightning within a given week are actually probably worse, since they are using the odds of ever being struck by lightning. Also, the fact that odds are bad doesn't mean that it doesn't happen often.
Someone will win the lottery - FACT!
If you don't buy a ticket it won't be you - FACT!
I can afford to buy a $10 ticket without being called stupid - DEBATABLE!
The odds of winning the lottery on Saturday might actually be better then getting struck by lighting on Saturday - FACT-ish!
Anyway, if I win $550 million I will probably start posting here more. So you all would be the real winners.
