    If you have enough money to buy enough tickets to significantly affect the odds in your favor... you don't need to be buying lottery tickets.

    Eh. It's "mad money." The $2 I used to spend on candy bars, back when I could eat them? A ticket or two a week. What the hell. It's for fun; I know what the odds are.

    And I don't live in Michigan, nor did I buy a ticket there, so I know that whomever the winner is... it's not me.
