In my humble opinion…

Seriously?  Just a random thought, but it always makes me laugh when people tell me they won't play the lottery because "the jackpot isn't high enough yet."

I assure you this is something I've actually heard people say... numerous times.  What I wouldn't do for an extra 400 bucks, let alone 400 million!  I get that maybe you're just smarter with your money management than I am.  I get that the odds of winning are close to astronomical.  It's just that 10 seconds of euphoria I get when those little white balls are rolling down the little silver railing that make me think, just for a second, that I might be on a plane to Hawaii tomorrow.  So if you choose not to play, no worries.  Just don't come looking for a hand-out when I'm swimming in a pool full of 100 dollar bills!
