Your streak continues. 
It’s actually sort of awesome. Not ONE number - ever! 
I often think of that scene from Clyde Bruckman’s Final Repose when I look at my tickets. I’d buy some tickets with every single number, but I suspect we’d get hit by a comet or something before the drawing just to prevent me getting one lottery number.
You can still skirt those requirements by having a trust win the lottery, and having a law firm represent the trust. At least in Texas, anyway.
There is no harm. Every time someone brings up the lottery, someone always has to insert that it’s a “tax” (they always use the word “tax” specifically, too) on people who aren’t smart, can’t do math, need to take a stats course, etc. The thread cannot truly begin until we have it.
That said, I haven’t bought a ticket and won’t because I can’t be bothered. It’s harmless to throw a dollar at it, but it’s too damn cold to go to the store when I know I’m not going to win anyway. Anyone else who buys a ticket, though, good for them. A nice little bit of fantasy for $2.
The Powerball goes above 250M about three or four times a year, so that’s when I buy a ticket–one with the numbers I’ve always used, and one QP. That comes to no more than $20/year, which I’m comfortable with. Odds are phenomenally slim, but if I spent $200/year, my odds wouldn’t improve significantly but I could actually do something meaningful with that $180 difference. An Andrew Jackson means skipping going out for dinner once.
I was so busy bemoaning not getting the big prize I didn’t notice that I won at powerball! That’s right, I won a whole $4 which gets me the price of my ticket back which means I can afford 2 more tickets for Wednesday’s drawing. I just hope I haven’t used up all of my luck.
I think the luckiest man ever is the guy who just won $165 million in the Mega Millions. Nobody is going to bother to hit him up for money.
