I'm guessing most of you have heard about the Mega Millions jack pot - $500 million. I don't play the lottery, so I'm not familiar with Mega Millions. I have no idea how many numbers you play out of how many numbers total, but I'm guessing there are a lot of numbers to choose from.
So this "historic" jack pot has been on the news a lot over the past couple of days. It was being discussed on the morning show I listen to on the way into work. I was listening to the segment where the financial guy comes on and updates world wide market activities. His quote on the Mega Millions jackpot - (okay so maybe I'm not quoting him verbatim, this is from memory, but it's close: "The lottery is the world's most punitive tax. Fortunately, it's only levied on those who aren't very good at math."
Sums up my opinion pretty well.

Of course, I have never played the lottery, and hadn't heard about the jackpot. That's how much I don't even pay any attention to that stuff.

When there are extra ordinarily large sums being advertised, sales numbers skyrocket bolstered by occasional ticket buyers, who enjoy daydreaming of super wealth for a couple of hours.
