Some really dumb logic in this topic.

"It's just throwing money away!" The tickets are like $2... I think most people can afford $2 once in a while. It's not something you're meant to play every drawing. Most people probably throw away more money on a weekly basis on coffee, fast food, cigarettes, alcohol, etc.; I bet they could fit $2 every few months into their budget.

"It's only worth it if it's a high jackpot!" Uh, what difference does it make if you only win $100 million instead of $700 million? It's a several thousand percent return either way if you win. Plus the high jackpots that get a lot of publicity end up with more players, which means a higher possibility that it ends up splitting winners anyway.
