wtf a ticket for such a huge prize is only $2?
Here scratch tickets where the main prize is €100.000 are about the same price.

For the new years lottery the prize is 30 million tax free, a ticket is €30,-

Lotto is 1 or 2 bucks, winnings up to 20-30 million if it takes a while for somebody to win.

60 people hit 1 million prize

I did not win.

$2 a week if you buy a single ticket, 52 weeks in a year.. $104.. Now lets say you play from the age of 21 (legal to gamble) until you die at say.... 81... $6,240 wasted on "good clean fun" when you could have put that $104 every year into something that guarantees you make money off it* and have a good amount of money by the time you die to give to family/friends instead of hoping for a big pay off that is less likely of a chance of happening than being mauled by a BearShark.**

* I grew up watching my dad play lottery and granted he did make some big wins, but he also spent a lot to make that. For example he won $5,000 on a ticket.. I'm pretty positive he spent more than that to win it.. It's just not worth it to me.

Interestingly enough, the things in those ten minute thoughts spurred by a simple $2 ticket usually end up being bought anyway later in life.

Yeah, I understand ya... I just feel it's a waste after watching my dad play all my childhood... Those numbers are just if all you did was buy a single $2 ticket every week... But most people who would play the lottery like that buy 5+ each week plus do other things like scratch off tickets and even gambling at a casino.

My dads gambling warped me and I don't gamble anymore. I'm 27 and have never bought a scratch ticket, only gambling at a casino I've done was on someone else's dime (grandma mostly when we go for family things or something) and only thing I've done with my own money was those games that spit out tickets and are exchangeable at bars and shit... $1 and cashed out at $11 when I was ahead, haha.
