Insane? Yes and no. The probability of someone winning tonight is extremely likely. The probability it will be you is EXTREMELY SLIM but you maximize those chances by purchasing more tickets. The loss of $600 is nothing.

Wrong. You're just a midwit of limited intelligence who thinks improbable events will never happen by sheer numbers. 1 in 1 million chance events can and do happen routinely, nay by the minute, and even experiencing life itself is a statistical improbability that exceeds this. It isn't something to bank on but to dismiss it as stupid is plain retarded and probably a cope because you don't have $600 to blow. Funnily enough, most big jackpot winners are snowbird boomers in Florida who spend hundreds on a single drawing.

The stupid person does not play at all. They lose all chance of winning. The loss of $2 is quite literally nothing for most people.

You're just a midwit of limited intelligence who is looking at this as an investment. In any case, you don't take into account the most glaringly obvious thing about life doesn't come to your mind. You're going to be fucking dead one day and as you approach the death horizon, and your body fails and your friends and family around you die, money becomes worth less and less. Sure I could drop that $600 into my IRA or some shitcoin but by the time it materializes into anything I'll be 40 years older and it wouldn't even have grown to such an amount. The value of a windfall of cash, even at risk, during one's youth and prime cannot is much more valuable than something that will come to life many years down the line when your 60, grey, and stupid from the loss of dopamine neurons.
