I never buy lottery tickets, though I have won pocket change of those that have been gifted me.
Lottery tickets are indeed a tax on the mathematically challenged.
If the average household were to invest the money instead of blowing it on the lottery, they'd likely have at least $50,000 saved over a lifetime instead of next to nothing, if not nothing.
