I've never bought a lottery ticket... and probably still won't.

I almost bought a lottery ticket the other night, but then thought against it.

Will probably get in on an office pool, if one comes up. Otherwise I won't go out of my way to buy a ticket

Yes. But I'm willing to pay a $1, $3, or very occasionally $5 in stupidity tax from time to time for the oppotunity to dream about being stupidly rich.

This probably does not include the state of AZ does it?
What a bummer! I'd spend $1 on it.

You could just send me a dollar. Your chances of getting $340 million back are the same.

I don't play. My chances of winning are pretty slim to begin with so they might as well be zero.
