They tricked me. I have only bought two lottery tickets ever. The first I bought thinking it would be the only one I'll ever buy. If I won then the system works. If I didn't then there is a flaw in the system. Of course I didn't even match one number, which is all the proof I needed that the lottery is crap. I was never going to buy a ticket again.
Well, everyone in my family has been battling various viruses (virii?) for the past couple of months and of course I blamed that on luck-o-the-norm. There has been at least one person in my house sick every single day this year. Last week EVERYONE was sick on one day so I started thinking that the luck needed to balance out somewhere. On Thursday I bought a lottery ticket in the hopes that this is where it would even out. I didn't win. This is obvious proof that the system is broken. The lottery has received it's last $2 from me.
On the flip side, nobody in my house seems to be sick this week.
