Spending hundreds on tickets is a bad investment and poor judgement, sure.

Spending $2 on a single ticket for the entertainment value given a historically high jackpot is hardly the worst somebody could do. It's a short, fun craze for people to distract us from our lives. A tiny bit of workplace excitement when people form pools. Most people, except for the habitual purchasers, know they aren't going to win. That's not the point.

But whatever. I guess a gas station clerk has to feel superior to others somehow.
