Yes, but SOMEBODY will win............

Odds you will actually hit the jackpot in a Powerball lottery: 1 in 195,249,054.

"Every year Americans spend $7 billion on movie tickets, $16 billion on sporting events, $24 billion on books… and $62 billion on lottery tickets. More than half of all American adults play the lottery making it, by far, the most popular form of paid entertainment in the country."

Barking Up The Wrong Tree explores the psychology of lottery play.  Maybe he can explain why I buy tickets, but never look to see if they are winners.
