Here's the headline...
Lottery buyers line up to pay a tax
No they don't. Here's what the headline should read.
Lottery buyers line up to buy tickets so they can harass their friends
It's just entertainment you math geeks. Next thing you know you'll see a headline like this...
Basketball fans line up to give their money to millionaires and billionaires. Then sit in metal chairs for hours watching men run back and forth.
You pick the entertainment venue and write the headline. It's all the same. Most people don't take the lottery seriously. Just like I'm sure people don't take sports seriously. Right?

They don't take sports seriously? What about those Oakland Raider fans who attend games in costume?
EPT - That was just a bit of sarcasm at the end there. Sports fans are ten times crazier than any lottery player could ever hope to be.
PEOPLE LINE UP TO PAY EXORBITANTLY PRICED TICKETS TO WATCH MOVIE FROM SITTING IN UNCOMFORTABLE SEATS, PAYING $5 FOR A 24 OZ SOFT DRINK AND $7 FOR POPCORN WHILE RUDE PEOPLE TALK ON CELL PHONES AND KIDS SIT AROUND TALKING.
Yeah, that works.
IWS - You must not have stadium seating yet. That makes it all worthwhile.
Lottery--a voluntary tax on people that are bad at math.
J - So you must not have used an entertainment dollar to get ticket to wave around.
I bought so many tickets because good things always happen to good people
right?
thanks for the advice about my tilted walk, you're absolutely right, it's already become a problem
they shoot horses don't they?
D - Start wearing bullet proof dresses.
I long ago gave up on taking a lot of things seriously: sports and politics, mainly. From that perspective, the ultimate in not taking things seriously is to watch a Congressional Dems vs Republicans softball game. Of course, they don't play any more since they can no longer agree on who gets to be the shirts and who gets to be the skins.
I like the story about the guy who got struck by lightning 10 minutes after buying his ticket. Now we're probably going to hear about another guy who went out to golf after getting his ticket, and then he promptly got 2 holes in one. Octomom was back in the news. Maybe she'll be the next person who gets pregnant because her 1 in 20 chance of it comes up again.
