MEGA MILLIONS - Let the gov't pick you pocket 1 dollar at a time, hey you never know!?

I'm sick of these long odds scams run by the government, so little time, so many suckers!

why aren't you sick of the suckers instead?

I call the lottery "the tax on stupid".

State-run lotteries are indeed a tax on stupidity -- which is in general a good thing to tax. However, as the stupid tend not to have very much money, its revenue potential is extremely limited.

i'm have a math degree and i still bought a lottery ticket.

LOL! That reminds me of a friend who actually has a PhD in math, but couldn't afford a down payment on a house until he won a medium-sized lottery prize! True story.

side note, with your logic and reasoning I should vote for Romney because Ron has no chance of winning.

Nah. The supply of your vote is fixed. Think about what that implies.
