Can't win cause I don't play. If I win, I'd feel horrible. Because that would be the hope and dreams of millions of people in my hands. They play everyday, hoping that one day it will be their turn.

I read an interesting tweet yesterday, it went something like this:

> 1 in 4 accidents will be caused by texting.

> people - well that won't be me

> 1 in 292 million chance to win

> people - you never know

The game is rigged, lottery money is an illusion making you think if you don't win at least you are helping schools or not losing much money. It's addictive, go watch the poor folks lining up everyday to buy this stuff. That's their hopes and dreams in a meritocratic society that has labeled them as losers.

I know I'm sure I'll be seen as a naysayer but hey, the lottery is a losers games, cause in the long run we all lose.
