Daydreaming Lottery

 So I can’t help but notice that some of the lotteries frequent changes in the way winnings are calculated. Now, some would say, new changes could result in more incremental jackpot winnings meaning, more single digit dollar winnings but, with a less likely chance at the mega-jackpot. You know, the mu-la (spelling?). So my question to you, the fans, the lottery players, would you rather have a better odds at winning the grand-jackpot, the jackpot odds not so much favoring your chance of winning but giving you more smaller winnings as you play, or do you just not care. Are most of the lottery players out there, giving up that minimal cost of one dollar or two, to have those few days to dream of how winning the jackpot might change your life? Now I can’t help but think about the movie, The Matrix in this situation. I mean come on, right? The whole “Ignorance is bliss” philosophy. I know the two are not directly comparable, for instance we all are well aware of the unfavorable odds involved of winning, but we all spend those couple dollars anyway. I suppose it comes down to this idea, for myself and from what I’ve seen speaking to hundreds of lottery players. A few dollars here and there, is worth the return of playing the lottery even IF the return on investment was only the dream. We live in a world filled with hardship that comes without any work, so, anything that would lead to better thoughts, especially that which is priced at $1 or $2, seems to be a pretty decent pass time/source of entertainment. Till next time, the voice of lottery, spoken without filters, spoken from the players. Cheers~
