I understand that the purchase of a lottery ticket is not a prudent economic decision. It also very exhilarating to scratch off instant tickets, or to watch at least some of your ballsbeing drawn.

Somebody has to win, and it might as well be me. I have just as good of odds of winning as anyone else. My wife thinks I have a gambling problem, but only when I am not winning.
