Same here. Don't play, but for a chance for $400M, i'll toss $2 at it.
I always say, your chances increase a whole lot more from $0 to $2 than from $2 to $4.

If I win I'm building a off grid underground compound into the side of a Wyoming or Utah mountain with about 10k acres around me. I want to be so damn remote you use a ski lift to get to my front door.
Build an amazing garage down at the road and throw in a few RV hookups so buddies can come do some shooting. |

I spent $2 on tickets. Anybody saying "DERRRR HUH HUH U SO STUPID" must be dirt shit ass poor because I don't have a high paying job but $2 is insignificant for risk compared to the reward. Not that I give a fuck what other people think.

1 ticket kind of makes sense on risk return models due to the low buy in and extreme but remote return on investment. Bunking any more than one ticket draws a negative in investment risk return models.
I'll generally only go in for a few bucks if a group frm work plays, expecting my money to disapear but doing it as a team/morale exercise. Plus I know two different people who have won big at work and the people who passed on joining were miserable when everyone else quit. |

For the price of a ticket it's pretty cheap entertainment compared to going to a movie or similar.
