How much would you waste, eh I mean spend?

Would you "invest" 500 dollars in a lottery ticket?
I get that this is a big deal, but with the odds so stacked against you, is it wise to spend this much money on something that has no chance of bringing in the dream return you want?
It kind of makes me sad for those people.
Re: How much would you waste, eh I mean spend?
No way. I had a fit about E spending 9 dollars for them today.
I don't see any point in investing in something that in the end won't benefit you. Especially with odds that were involved today.
That's how I feel. I can understand a ticket here or there, but... not 500 dollars worth. If you can afford it, then good for you, but I can find better ways to spend that money.
There was a post on TK last night saying they heard a man on the radio saying he spent $1,000 on tickets. I can't even imagine the thought process that says that's a good idea. I spent $10, but won $2 back.
M and i bought $5 in the MM lotto tickets. we won $10 so in the end we made 5 bucks back. We just dont play that often either.
I/We played this time because the jackpot was so ridiculous. I bought 7 and H bought 3. I am okay with spending $10 for a chance at $640 million.
We were 99.9999999% sure we were not going to win but it was still fun knowing that someone or a couple people were going to hit it this time.
While I was buying my set of 7 the guy in front of me bought $500 worth. Now, that is stupid IMO. You only need 1 to win -- the odds are 1 in 175million you'll hit it. Do you really think the extra 499 are going to help much? Hell to the NO.
ETA: I remembered! It's called a factorial. n! is also n prime in C++, but in math it's n factorial.
