    Default Wish in one hand, sh*t in the other...

    Which fills up faster?
    My cousin, who is the perpetual Facebook terrorist (posting things completely unrelated in the comments below my posts, and then rambling on about other useless stupid sh*t no one really wants to read) has just done a one up on the wishful thinking scale... she posted about the lottery being at $220M! Wow, cool, but the odds of winning are somewhere in the range of 1 in 86 MILLION! Why do people keep dreaming that they'll one day win the lotto? I've told her on many occasions if she spent as much time looking for a better job or putting in OT as she did dreaming of winning the lotto she'd probably be a lot better off. Any of you know people who just don't get it? Winning the lotto is a pipe dream at best, 99.999999999999999999999999999999% of the time you're just wasting your money on that numbered paper.

    I've never bought a lottery ticket in my life. Never felt I had enough money to throw some in the trash.

    Ill normally play if its over 100mil, can't win if you don't play...Its only a couple of bucks, I have been known to waste money on other things with just as good of odds...(women at the bar and strippers)..

    I view it the exact same way. Throw some money in the trash or buy a lotto ticket... don't see a difference between the two, guess I can just give it a bum, it's the same thing too!

    With the lotto ticket you get a few minutes of entertainment ... and occasionally you get your money back (which never happens with the trash).


    That said I rarely buy them because I rarely have cash on me (and when I do I'd rather buy a soda).

    Ya Ronin I hear ya. Hate to ride the Ramsey horse again, but I'm gonna. In our class Ramsey calls the lotto a 'stupid tax' and shows the demographics where the most tickets are bought, shocking, the same demographics that are on welfare, etc.

    Feel the same way about Starbucks! What a waste of money, yet people will think nothing about dropping $5 bucks for a cup of coffee!

    When you can get a bag of coffee for less than $5 and brew something tasty yourself? People aren't that smart these days....
