I despise the Lottery. There's less chance of you becoming a millionaire than there is of getting hit on the head by a passing asteroid.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If we find it hard to believe that winning millions might not be so lucky after all, we just don't have a good enough imagination. If I fantasise about winning the lottery, it doesn't take long before all sorts of worrisome potential consequences occur to me.
Forget the lottery. Bet on yourself instead.
Today I bought two lottery tickets, because I had a feeling that it would be now or never - they were both blanks. So I am not going to be rich after all. Nothing at all to be done about it.
I have never played the lottery in my life and never will. Voltaire described lotteries as a tax on stupidity. More specifically, I think, on innumeracy.
People would love to be rich, but they're looking for the easy way. Who wouldn't want to win the lottery? Just to score.
I will never be a millionaire, and I don't want to be.
Why do people play the lottery, or why do people gamble, period? You know, it's with the hope of winning something more.
Professionally, I feel like I won the lottery and I am the luckiest person in the entire world.
In twenty years, the Lottery has raised over $1.4 billion. It has been run successfully and efficiently.
I figure you have the same chance of winning the lottery whether you play or not.
