lol. You are funny. Rather than a serious interrogation of why people play lotto this was instead a completely self-indulgent rollick in sarcasm, which was ten times more amusing than a comprehensive analysis!
I have one question, on the stupid games scale which is the top of the scale? Chess and boxing or golf?? It would be obvious except for the insertion of Russian roulette between the lottery and golf. ALthough, if there was a large money prize at stake in the Russian roulette I guess you've at least got a better chance of winning it than the lotto!!!
By the way, in honour of my gran who played every week and thoroughly enjoyed dreaming about buying a yacht, I play the lotto once a year and think of her.
