No he's not. The expected return on the purchase of a ticket is better than 1. It is worthwhile to purchase one ticket. The only retards are people who gross $20,000/year and spend $100 or weekly on lotteries.

When the payoff exceeds the odd against, it doesn't hurt to buy one or two tickets. Even Thomas Jefferson favored spending very small quantities of money for a small chance at a vast payoff.

Found the brainlet..

The lump sum is a fraction of what they advertise, the federal government takes 23% off the top, and then you pay income taxes (federal, state, local) on whatever is left. A "$1B jackpot" is like $220M after everything is all said and done.
