OmegaM 07/15/18 8:28:18 AM #19:	No, the odds of winning are always too small. Actually, maybe when the prize is really big, the expected payoff is bigger than the price of one ticket (assuming you're the only winner, which could easily not be the case), but the absolute odds of winning are still so small that I can't care enough to track that. My parents sometimes get me scratch-off lottery tickets for my birthday and Christmas, and while they never get me more than a few dollars' worth, I always wish they'd spent that money on something else for me. <cite>OmegaM posted [p:905108166] in Do you eve...
