    I used the lottery for the same reason for a long time. Then they raised the price and lowered your chances to win even further.

    Also, seeing people win a “$1Billion jackpot” and take home less than $400M after taxes, meanwhile multiple billionaires can be shown to pay $0 on taxes… It’s pretty disillusioning.
