I've never played, and never plan to. Money down the drain.
I have a completely different attitude towards mega-buck lotteries. I seem them as a form of entertainment. For less than the price of a two hour movie, I can purchase a ticket that is good for a few days of daydreaming. Yes, I admit it, although the rational portion of my brain understands the odds against winning are mostly zero, there still exists a portion of my brain that says "sure, but mostly zero means partly non-zero". I derive pleasure from the daydreams of instant wealth that mega-buck lotteries make possible. Therefore, for me, it's not money down the drain. Jim_Miller@suite.com ObC'punk: [regarding export of crypto] "That the arguments they are hearing about American companies are unproven, and that no single case of a problem has been documented (in his view)." What's the official government form I need to fill out to prove loss of revenue from an inability to export a version of our product that was never produced since we knew in advance we would not be able to export it?
