We’ve already gotten $20 worth of fun from the dreaming and talking about “what if’s”

Had me going for a while. I thought I had stumbled into the "Share your FIRE Milestones" thread.

...the local public radio station aired an interview with a UC Berkeley statistics professor. What he said was: "Well, your chances of winning are about the same whether you buy a ticket or not."
When our state lottery went live with the PowerBall the local public radio station aired an interview with a UC Berkeley statistics professor. What he said was: "Well, your chances of winning are about the same whether you buy a ticket or not."
I planned on blowing $20, they only took cash. I had $12, now 6 tickets.Haha! I actually bought $20 worth of tickets today- $10 for me and $10 for my spouse. We’ve already gotten $20 worth of fun from the dreaming and talking about “what if’s”
That's what I tell people, too. What I find mildly annoying are all those local news stories where they interview lottery ticket buyers (i.e. suckers) and ask them what they would d if they win, when in reality all that will happen is they will be poorer by the amount they spent on the tickets.

I hope whoever wins does it wisely.

IIRC I have never bought a lottery ticket in my life because I think that is not a very wise way to spend my money. I wouldn't even know how to do it.
Thanks!I used a credit card, bought them online, no need to go to the store.
