    It's become quite apparent that buying a ticket doesn't significantly increase your chances of winning.

    I buy one single ticket whenever the jackpot is as high as it was ($300+ million).. it's fun to day dream. But I never waste more than the $2 -- it only takes one to lose. :)

    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.

    If I won, I would buy Crest, CA and enslave the citizens.

    On second thought, they already are and just don't realize it. ;)
