all you need is 1$ to hit the 315. Megaplying is just to give you extra cash if you get say, 3 numbers. It would megaplay your winnings by 4.

Might as well call it a middle income man's tax too..

Or the idiot tax. I buy the Texas lotto a couple times a year, so I'm guilty.

If I won anything over 20 million, I'd instantly give half of it away. For good karma and just in case there is a heaven, it would look good on my tenancy application.

Son of a bitch! I got 2 numbers + the mega ball. Now I have to split it 31 ways! Damn work pools!

Stacking this against your other credit card ramblings, the irony is palpable.

How is that? I bought one ticket, the pot-odds are correct. You must lose at poker.

The 2005 survey, conducted by the University of Texas-Arlington's School of Urban and Public Affairs, seemed to confirm the patterns. The median amount of money spent each year on the lottery by someone with less than a high school education, according to the study, was $600; a person with a graduate school education spent $156. Blacks spent an average of nearly $700 a year on tickets; whites, about $250.
