Playing the lottery is a very robotic thing to do.
I know people will immediately jump in and say 'Idiot tax' and stuff like that. It's true that the odds for the Lottery are pretty poor compared to other forms of gambling like Blackjack which has a tiny house edge, but the lottery is unique.
When you buy a lottery ticket, you are not making a considered financial decision, you are buying hope. A few dollars is a small price to pay for having hours or days of optimism.
Even St Elliot himself played the lottery.

Sucks chief. I played the PowerBall for a month and a half on $4. Would buy 2 tickets and win $4 on one every drawing.
In all honesty I know I have practically no chance of winning, but for $4? Who fucking cares. That's not even one drink at the bar for me.
I agree dude. You are buying hope. Imagine waking up and learning all you financial problem vanish.
You don't work and suck up to your boss. Your free to pruse your dream. Travel and see the world. Learn to fight cook anything you.

The lottery is ok to do if you do it just as a little game.
But if you play the lottery with actual hopes of winning, then you have a problem

This. Quick pick they check mutiple drawings. Dont check the ticket for weeks sometimes.
Under certain conditions the lottery is EV positive, but to manage that level of risk you would need to be investing millions of dollars elsewhere. Also have a system for sorting tickets quickly.

It's no stupider than investing in a child.

You're not buying hope, hope is being used against you, period. And fuck Elliot, he was a stupid faggot
