I bought $2 of tickets for the 2/19 drawing. I consider it entertaining to have the possibility of being a multi-millionnaire, even if the odds are very low:-) Sun,

Yet like you, we only buy super big lotter tickets and never bought tickets for local lottery when the payout is about several million. I guess it’s because given the possibility of winning, the price is much higher when we buy $2 for $5M than buying $2 for $100M :) Jeremy: My wife and I often talk about how happy we would be if we could just win $2M instead of $100M.

Every so often when the jackpot gets up there, I'll drop a buck or two just for the fun of it. I guess I spend anywhere from 10-20 dollars a year on lottery. Although, I often wonder why I only feel the need to buy a ticket when the jackpot is super high. I mean really, would it matter if I won 10 million vs. 100 million? Either way, I'd be quite wealthy, yet I never even consider buying tickets for typical jackpots. I play about as much as you.
