Buying lottery tickets is gambling but the popper who think you are retarded for buying one when the jackpot reached 500m+ are stupid for thinking that throwing a measly 5 dollars on a ticket is wasteful. Even if you don’t win something like 30% of that money goes schools and shit

Yeah, if you' are white trash and like giving the State feee money in return for literally nothing at all...

I will admit, I have an autobuy set that purchases one game per week for $1.40. Have been doing it for the past 3 years. I think I won $50 once and $8 another time. Not really worth it and I know its dumb, but I cant bring myself to cancel it on the off chance that my numbers one day win.
